What you'll do

Grampians National Park offers visitors a chance to connect with diverse landscapes, native wildlife, and aboriginal history. In the early morning, make your way to central Melbourne to meet your guide and board a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. Stop to purchase morning tea and snacks midway through the drive to the park.

Get your first introduction to the dramatic Grampians landscape at Halls Gap Valley then head straight to the Boroka Lookout, where you can admire spectacular views of the eastern plains. A moderately challenging hike through the surrounding landscape leads you to the glorious cascade of MacKenzie Falls. Feel free to cool off with a dip in the pool at the base of the falls.

Another short hike takes you to Balconies Lookout, where you can see a rock formation shaped like an open mouth known as the ‘Jaws of Death.’

Stop in the nearby town of Halls Gap to purchase lunch, and then continue on to Reed Lookout for more impressive views.

Finally, visit the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre to learn about the area’s indigenous people. Explore interactive displays and maps that will help you appreciate the abundance of aboriginal rock art scattered throughout the park.

After a packed day of exploring, sit back and relax on the return drive to Melbourne. Stop for dinner along the way (own expense), and be dropped off back at the original departure point in the late evening.

Please note: In the event that MacKenzie Falls is inaccessible due to weather, you will visit Silverband Falls instead.
