What you get

    About this experience

    We embark on our first hike of the day, a moderate 4.2km return hike that weaves us through fascinating rock formations, including the Grand Canyon and Silent Street before we arrive at The Pinnacle, the most iconic destination in the park. This famous jagged cliff face is quite the sight and there will be plenty of time to capture some amazing photos. Once we return, we will stop for a delicious cafe or bakery lunch before the drive up to MacKenzie Falls. This small walk is a steep 2km trail but you will be rewarded with one of Victoria’s largest and most beautiful waterfalls. Feel free to dip your toes in the icy mountain water to refresh your feet. Our next stop is the picturesque Boroka Lookout where you will be able to experience stunning views of Halls Gap, Lake Bellfield and Mt. William mountain ranges. We return to the delightful local village of Halls Gap where we will reveal one of the local kangaroo’s favourite hangout spots before making the journey back to Melbourne.

    Great Hiking Tour Experience

    Great hiking tour in a small group with Kurtis our guide. Worthwhile bookings the Grampians tour. It was not an easy hike but our guide made us feeling as much comfortable as possible. Great Atmosphere within the group and Amazing view at the top... Would recommend Hike and Seek for any type of hiking tour experience

    Perfect adventure for nature lovers

    Was amazing tour with a super friendly tour guide “Kurtis”! I went with my Mom totgetger to get a wildlife experience around great nature: we all got it! The hikes and lookouts were amazing, also he told us little things about each stop. The communication before and while the trip was easy and we were a small group of 5, so now stress and crowds. Would recommend to book it for families as well for friends or solo travellers! Cheers and big Thanks

    Extraordinary engagement with the outdoors! Highly recommend.

    Intimate experience with seasoned guides. Well organized. New van. Rigorous. Don’t hesitate. Peaceful.

    Nice hike

    The hiking portion of the trip was fun. Our guide, Andrew, was nice but did not provide much information about the area. There were no snacks provided and we were not told ahead of time to bring lunch.

    Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Melbourne.

    How much does Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $219 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Melbourne usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) take?

    +

    Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Melbourne is not rushed.

    Is Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 80 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Melbourne, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests)?

    +

    Around 28 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Melbourne can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Melbourne and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Grampians Hiking & Waterfall Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Melbourne within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Melbourne?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Melbourne experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Melbourne: Yarra Valley Wine, Gin, Whisky and Chocolate Tour, Yarra Valley Wine Tour w Exclusive Gin, Cider & Chocolate Tasting, Yarra Valley Wine Tour from Melbourne - Choc, Gin & Good Times. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Melbourne?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Melbourne?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
