About this experience
We arrive at Wilsons Prom and embark on our first hike for the day, a scenic coastal walk from Tidal River to Pillar Point. Following the banks of the Tidal River, the track winds through beautiful terrain before emerging to stunning 360 degree views of the bays and beaches of Wilsons Promontory. Once we return we will take a small drive to the general store for some lunch. Next, it’s time for our second hike of the day, a 7.8 km return journey to the famous Mt Oberon. From the summit, you will experience arguably the best coastal views in Victoria. Our next stop is one of our favourites, Squeaky Beach. Here you can wander on the incredibly white rounded grains of quartz which make a squeaking sound giving this popular local beach its name. Finally, as we are departing the National Park, we will make a stop to see our native furry friends. There is a high chance you’ll see Wombats, Emus, Kangaroos and Wallabies going about their daily business.

Great experience!
Had a blast doing this tour in Wilson's Prom! It was just the right amount of walking/hiking/chill time for a full day. Kurtis is an excellent guide — great energy, good vibes :)

Great tour
I was so happy I found the only company that provides Wilson Prom tours during winter months as I had limited time in Melbourne. Perfectly planned trip, with decent amounts of hiking, breaks, and nature and wild life to enjoy. The view from Mt Summit is stunning. I mostly enjoyed the proximity of wombats. They were a few centimeters from me. I also see a few emus from near distance as well as kangaroos. There were 3 other persons on the tour. So it was nice friendly atmospthere. Overall great experience and can fully recommend to everyone. Booking was straighforward and pleasant. The tour guide Jay was very kind and friendly. He explained a lot during the tour, and happy to answer all my questions.

Unmissable adventure
Incredibly beautiful part of the world. Great to be driven there and back by a knowledgeable, friendly, helpful guide, stopping at the best bakery in Victoria in the way, and enjoying lunch at the top of Mount Oberon with breath taking views.

Had a great time with our knowledgeable host!

It was a trip that felt like a blessing.
I don't know why this tour is less famous. Kurtis's car had spacious seats and comfortable seats, and he drove very safely. We worked hard to reach many schedules, and at the end of the trip to a nearby place, we took consideration of our physical strength and brought the car to a nearby place. This day is unforgettable and it was the best tour I've experienced in Melbourne.

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Wilsons Promontory Hiking 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 100 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Wilsons Promontory Hiking Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests)?
+
Around 35 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 Wilsons Promontory Hiking 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.
