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?
