Overview

Enjoy the hike with a little less to carry…. If you love to hike but also love the comforts of prepared meals and a comfy bed at the end of your day, our packless hike with accomodation is for you!

There is nothing like Australia’s Great Ocean Walk located on the Great Ocean Road region between Apollo Bay and the iconic Twelve Apostles, hugging the coastline for more than 100km. On this 3 day section around Cape Otway, you can feel nature’s drama unfolding at every step, and every day is different.

Create your own unique experience and discover this section of wonderful Australian coastline as you walk beneath tall trees, across rock seashore platforms, along deserted beaches and soak in breathtaking cliff-top vistas. Join a wonderful group to explore this excellent scenery, enjoy the beautiful sunsets.

A small group, this one is for the busy person who wants a weekend to get out and do something, see one of Victoria’s best hiking trails, escape the screens and not have to carry a backpack!
This is the perfect hassle free weekend, we take care of everything so you can focus on wellness, fitness and being yourself.
The itineraries are a guide, and your TSA guide will design the weekend to give you the most out of the areas, each other and living life!

What is packless hiking?

Packless hiking is your opportunity to enjoy multiple days on the trail without having to carry a big rucksack or sleep in a tent. You head out in the morning with a small day bag, some water and maybe a jacket and our guides carry your lunch and anything else you may require for the day. Enjoy a lovely lunch with salads, cheese, crackers, fresh fruit and a range of other produce all suited to your dietary requirements. You can then enjoy the rest of your walk and focus on the scenery and the enjoyment of being out on the trail. Tired at the end? Well now you get to stay in bed for the night! This is the wonderful aspect of packless weekends. Enjoy a dinner prepared by our multi-talented crew and then rest well and be ready for the next day on the trail. Could exploring be any better than this?

Overview

Location: Dandenongs and Olina
Grade: 4
Distance: 18km

Picture perfect Olinda Falls is located in the Dandenong Ranges, just an hour from Melbourne’s CBD.

The walk is 18km, where we will embark up the hill to reach the top of the falls themselves. With the cold fresh air, our group will look picture perfect in their array of bright Goretex jackets. With viewing areas for both the upper and lower falls, we will enjoy a yummy morning tea as well as an indulgent, but well deserved lunch. Hopefully we will also here a delightful chorus of different native birds to keep us company along the path! The colored trees of the arboretum will hopefully still be putting on a display and seeing the change in vegetation is a unique part of this day out.

Overview

Location: Masons Falls
Grade: 3
Distance: 14km

This Masons Falls Circuit is a pleasant hike through the regenerating bush that clearly shows the impact of the Kinglake fires. There are large parts of the track that did seem to escape the tragic fires. Plus the Masons Falls are quite spectacular, and worth the walk with us. Our walk starts with a long steep descent, and we mean right down to the bottom where the walk intersects with a small stream and a refreshing break from the thigh burning track. Don’t worry though because there is no more downhill!! As we then start the slow ascent back through majestic forests to lunch and past Masons Falls before going onto single track and finishing the ascent right back up to the summit carpark where we started. 

Come along on your own, or bring a friend or family member. It doesn’t matter who you are or your fitness, we want to encourage more people to get out, make new friends, and have a great day outside connecting with nature, enjoying good conversation and feeling fit and healthy. We have walkers of all ages, from 70’s all the way down to kids. Our qualified and encouraging staff lead your day out and feed you yummy healthy food, so come along and feel safe, supported and try our famous lemon slice and protein balls. You will get to visit the best and some lesser known day hiking destinations within two hours of Melbourne. There is no better time to treat yourself to a day in nature, connecting with new friends and feeling amazing! Book a walk TODAY!

Overview

Rising steeply from the plains north of Melbourne… the Cathedral Ranges are a prominent sight when travelling north. Visualise sitting atop the peak, gazing out over Victoria’s mountain ranges and feeling euphoric at having made the ascent.

Starting from The Farmyard, our trail ascends steeply between the imposing cliffs of the North and South Jawbone. From Neds Saddle we now undulate along the ridgeline experiencing spectacular views and exhilaration at the rocky and winding trail.

This is a sensational walk along the challenging and rewarding razorback, plus you get to enjoy a yummy healthy lunch perched on a cliff edge while gazing at the scenery. You’ll be feeling inspired and proud of your achievements as we make our steady descent and follow the river back to our start point.

Overview

Rising steeply from the plains north of Melbourne, the Cathedral Ranges are a prominent sight when travelling north. Visualise sitting atop the peak, gazing out over Victoria’s mountain ranges and feeling euphoric at having made the ascent. This can be you!

After a long steady uphill start, the track turns into a sensational walk up the side of the ranges to Mt Cathedral involving some exposed climbing and very steep ascents. You then carefully make your way along the challenging and rewarding razorback. This very technical track has a few tricky sections where we will be there to lend a hand, plus consistent technical walking. After a yummy healthy lunch and magnificent scenery we start the highly stepped descent back to river level before the flat walk back to the start. You’ll be feeling inspired and proud of your achievements after this exhilarating day out.

This is a GRADE 5 walk.

This is your opportunity to use that fitness. Make this your goal and we’ll help you achieve it. Challenge yourself and bring your fitness to life!
