Overview

Departing Melbourne at around 8am, you'll pass through Western Plains of Victoria on the way to historic Ballarat. Ballarat boomed in the 1850’s with the widespread discovery of gold in the district. Learn a little about the history and enjoy morning tea at the site of the infamous Eureka Rebellion. Continue the drive through the picturesque western volcanic plains, passing through the town of Moyston, the birthplace of Australian Rules Football.

Arrive at the foot of the Grampians Range known as Gariwerd in the local Jardwadjali language and immerse yourself in the Australian bush with a gentle stroll to Silverband Falls.

Continue to the township of Halls Gap for lunch. Keep an eye open for the local kangaroos and the abundant birdlife that can be seen in the main street. After lunch, head to the Wonderland Turntable for a short hike to the Grand Canyon.

Your last stop is MacKenzie Falls. No trip to the Grampians would be complete without a visit to these majestic falls.

I will start by saying I don't normally register for bus tours, but Jaimes and Tim were both delightful tour guides! If you luck out with either of them you'll likely to have a great time. Both were personable and knowledgeable about the Grampians and the surrounding areas. Would recommend this excursion if you can fit it into your itinerary! Second caveat, you'll only have one tour guide unless one is shadowing the other. You'll need to be able to climb up and down rock/natural stairs for the big waterfall hike (the view is worth it if you do). Another hike had a little bit of light bouldering, it wasn't anything crazy, but would suggest that you have comfortable sneakers or hiking shoes.

Chris H made this tour amazing and I’d highly recommend anyone who books with Bunyip - Gowest to ask for him! He was the tour. The bosses couldn’t give a damn about catering to numbers, not enough muffins to go around - 3 teaspoons which 25 ppl had to share some not speaking English. I was disappointed no lunch included for $155 too. Definitely seems like this tour could have included a cheap eat at Halls Gap. Anyway Chris H made it memorable and kudos to him!

Nice, small group to the Grampians with Kloe and Mark. If you are from Asia, the waterfalls weren't amazing. Though it was nice to go trekking and have a little hike away from Melbourne. All the hikes were easy, the only strenuous one was the hike for Mckenzie Falls as the stairs were steep. But it was short, so not that bad. We also saw kangaroos in the wild and went to a few lookout points with nice sceneries. They provided breakfast with tea/milo/coffee and cake, which was very nice. Kloe and Mark were very friendly and helped us take photos throughout the trip.

Grampians National Park is a must if you like mountains and only have a little time for hikes. Of course, there is some time in the car, but there are plenty of opportunities for hiking and experiencing incredible views. Rachel was our guide for this small tour (9 people) that day. She is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. The group size was great, and we had enough time for bathroom breaks, water breaks, and food. It was also good to experience and see Australia while driving outside Melbourne. This is a much less crowded tour than the Great Ocean view, and there are many more opportunities to see kangaroos and different birds.
