About this tour
A full-day guided walk through Grampians National Park, taking in two substantial hikes totalling 6.5km across rock-studded ridges, a plunge into icy mountain pools beneath Victoria's mightiest waterfall, and sweeping views across Halls Gap and the surrounding ranges. The 12-hour tour suits reasonably fit hikers keen to see the park's headline features without needing technical skills or ropes. Small groups of 4–11 mean you'll move at a comfortable pace with knowledgeable locals who know where the local kangaroos hang out.
Highlights
- The Pinnacle: jagged sandstone ridge with panoramic photo vantage points
- MacKenzie Falls: largest waterfall in Victoria, short cool-off swim
- Boroka Lookout: views across Halls Gap, Lake Bellfield, Mt William
- Rock formations including Grand Canyon and Silent Street sections
- Wild kangaroo spotting near Halls Gap village
- Packed lunch stop at local cafe or bakery
What to expect
Expect a brisk morning hike of 4.2km through rocky terrain and interesting geological formations, culminating at The Pinnacle where the landscape opens up dramatically. After descending, you'll grab lunch at a village cafe. The afternoon centres on a shorter but steeper 2km push up to MacKenzie Falls, where the reward is a substantial cascade and the chance to wade in genuinely cold mountain water. The final leg is a gentler lookout stroll at Boroka before returning to Halls Gap to search for kangaroos grazing near dusk.
Good to know
Bring $25 cash or card for lunch as it's not included. Wear proper hiking boots or sturdy trainers; the ground is rocky and exposed. A 1-litre water bottle is essential. Layers and sun protection matter year-round. Not suitable if you have cardiovascular concerns; fitness should be at least moderate. Rain ponchos and first aid are supplied.
