My wife and I originally planned this trip in 2020, but Covid got in the way. As we live in the UK it took a while before we could rearrange. During this time, Wilson Bath (owner of Hike2Camp) was … Full review by j0hnc62

We have just completed the Great Ocean Walk with Hike2Camp, run by Wilson Bath. The forests and coastline were stunning. Wilson’s management of the camping for our six day walk was excellent, and his… Full review by Explorer62944560372
Is it possible to walk a few days staying at the designated campsites then take a day in accommodation say at johanna beach then continue the walk/ camp combo?
A:
l am not sure Helen. I think this can be done but I would contact an information centre clode to the walk to check this out.
hi Raj, we willbe in Melbourne on Friday and plan driving to Adelaide. What would you say are the key stops along the Great Ocean Rd/ Ocean Walk. We don't have much time to plan now so your help iss much appreciated.
A:
There are so many beautiful views but perhaps the main ones are Bells Beach, Cape Otway Lighthouse, The 12 Apostles and Tower Hill. It is truly a remarkable coastline.
How long is the walk and how much time would you needs

Hi .. the whole walk is 4 - 6 days and 100 k (about 63 miles). If you're happy walking over 20 k in a day, then 4 days, else go the 6. Remember you need to carry everything - water …
Hi .. the whole walk is 4 - 6 days and 100 k (about 63 miles). If you're happy walking over 20 k in a day, then 4 days, else go the 6. Remember you need to carry everything - water (although tank water is available at the camp sites), food, clothes for different weather conditions etc. The longer the walk the more you need to carry - just a consideration! However, you do not have to do the whole walk. Many do just 2 days or there is a good 4 day option. Depends on what time you have, fitness etc. All parts of this walk are amazing. No days are better than others, so whatever you elect to do you will have a fantastic time experiencing the rugged southern coast and the Australian outdoors. The walk can be done totally independently or you can glamp it with a tour operator who will collect you each night and take you to a hotel nearby, or you can compromise between the 2 as we did and go with someone like Hike2Camp (Google them). You effectively carry a day pack and they do the rest. You're still in tents and the walking is still challenging, but you're not carrying 18-20 kgs on your back, and you don't have to go out and buy (or bring) all the camping gear. My wife and I don't normally like organised tours - we are very independent as a rule when walking. But in reality, being late 50's, this walk would probably been a very difficult and overly challenging activity if we had done it on our own. Some food for thought.
I'm living in Apollo Bay and want to do a one day hike. It it feasible to walk to the lighthouse and back? is it worth it just to do this part?
A:
The coastal path is beautiful and although the light house is a good point to walk to we didn’t go in as we thought it was expensive, however, the views on the coast are fantastic …
