Starting in Apollo Bay and finishing at the 12 Apostles, this iconic walk stretches for 104km but is usually broken up into days of around 16km \u2013 23km.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the walk predominantly follows the coastline known as \u2018The Shipwreck Coast,\u2019 it also spans an area rich in environmental and cultural significance with traces of the region\u2019s colonial past present along the route. However, the landscape still echoes with a deep spiritual connection held by the traditional owners, the Wadawurrung Peoples, and this will be evident during the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/adventures\/ways-you-can-prepare-your-feet-for-a-long-hike\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RELATED: HOW TO PREPARE YOUR FEET FOR A LONG HIKE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;It ranges from easy to hard<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43.jpg\" alt=\"A lone hiker smiling at the camera on top of a hill along the Great Ocean Walk. \" class=\"wp-image-61362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-43-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be crazy fit to complete the Great Ocean Walk, but a general level of fitness is needed to get the most out of the trip. The trip has a physical rating of 4 out of 5 due to the long back-to-back walking days (distances of over 19km+); however, the track is well maintained, so you shouldn\u2019t come to any issues as long as you have some walking experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The track also features diverse terrain from sandy beaches to rocky paths, so pack appropriate footwear that you\u2019ve already worn and made comfortable (no one needs to worry about blisters a few kilometres in). It\u2019s important to note there\u2019s a few sections of the route that are more technical than others and whether or not you end up walking them largely depends on the weather conditions. This will be decided on the day by your expert leaders.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You can complete it year-round<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20.jpg\" alt=\"A group of hikers staring at the coastal scenery on a clear day in Victoria. \" class=\"wp-image-61364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-20-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest things about walking the Great Ocean Road is that there\u2019s no \u2018best time\u2019 to do it. This walk can be done year \u2018round depending on the type of weather you want to walk in \u2013 whether that\u2019s sunny conditions and hot temperatures in the summer or overcast conditions and cold temperatures in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the best of both worlds (sunny weather but moderate temperatures), walking in the shoulder seasons of autumn (March, April and May) and spring (September, October and November) is the way to go. You might get a few showers along the way but it\u2019s all part of the adventure of being in the great outdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The easiest way to walk it is on a guided trip<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7.jpg\" alt=\"A group of travellers smiling at the camera, their arms in the air, with mountain range in the background. \" class=\"wp-image-61366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-7-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can definitely embark on this multi-day trek on your own, the easiest way to walk it comfortably is to jump on a guided tour. Boasting not one but two local experts eager to share their knowledge about the region, this trip is perfect for those that want an adventure without handling any of the pesky organizational details that will inevitably pop up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If that wasn\u2019t enough to convince you, you also get (almost) every meal included in the form of breakfasts, picnics and home-cooked dinners &#8211; think sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and hearty stews to recharge your energy levels after a long day walking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You\u2019ll have little to no wifi connection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1.jpg\" alt=\"A group of travellers smiling at the camera in front of stunning coastal scenery as part of the Great Ocean Walk \" class=\"wp-image-61368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Intrepid-Travel-Australia-victoria-high-country-great-ocean-walk-27-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be dying to upload that fire photo you just took, but disconnecting from the online world while completing the walk isn\u2019t a bad thing. I\u2019m not saying you\u2019ll have zero mobile service for the entire duration, but some sections of the walk are more remote than others and your signal may be patchy and non-existent for long periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t let it stress you out. Just take your photos, put your phone back in your pocket and use the time to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding you. Your friends and family will be just as jealous of the breathtaking scenery and the huge amount of fun you\u2019re having, whether they see it now or at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;There is no drinkable water along the track<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking 104km will make you thirsty, like <em>real <\/em>thirsty, but one of the rare downsides of the track is that you won\u2019t be able to access any drinking water as you go. This means you should fill up your drink bottle at your accommodation before you head off in the morning. If you\u2019re camping, be wary of the rainwater tanks at the campsite; they\u2019re untreated, so drinking water from that source isn\u2019t recommended unless you have water purifying tablets or filters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Keep an eye out for warning signs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While walking, you\u2019re pretty much at Mother Nature\u2019s mercy, meaning you have to look out for potential hazards. Some parts of the track wind through forested areas, so keep an eye out for warning signs and make note of any pre-planned hazard reduction burns occurring in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, most of the track follows the coastline but some parts are tamer than others. The \u2018Shipwreck Coast\u2019 isn\u2019t called that for no reason and caution needs to be taken when walking to avoid rogue waves, high tides and swollen river mouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if a particular part of the route looks dangerous, your local leaders will steer you in a safer direction while still ensuring you see enough unforgettable scenery to last you a lifetime.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"\/australia\/hike-great-ocean-road-143847\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY FOR YOURSELF ON OUR &#8216;HIKE THE GREAT OCEAN ROAD WALK<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Take time to coast&#8230;literally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16234,"featured_media":61357,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[455,1313],"tags":[26,473],"class_list":["post-61354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-guides","tag-australia","tag-walking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3.1 -
