We have just completed the Great Ocean Walk with Hike2Camp, run by Wilson Bath. The forests and coastline were stunning. Wilson’s management of the camping for our six day walk was excellent, and his morning briefings before we started walking were delightful, and thorough. Sharing the experience of completing the challenging walk through the unique Cape Otway with the ten other members of our group was an unexpected joy. We highly recommend Hike2Camp for the Great Ocean Walk.

A group of 6 friends have just completed the Great Ocean Walk, doing 110kms all up. We decided to do it through a company called Hike2Camp, and they were fantastic and we highly recommend! It was a 6 day and 5 night experience, with 3 nights camping in tents and 2 nights in a hostel. Hike2Camp provided all of the equipment and food, setting up our tents every night and packing them up the next day. We were briefed each morning of the day ahead by the lovely Wilson and Alan, and then we made our way approx 20kms each day. Just wonderful!

My wife and I originally planned this trip in 2020, but Covid got in the way. As we live in the UK it took a while before we could rearrange. During this time, Wilson Bath (owner of Hike2Camp) was excellent with his communication. We did the walk in March and this proved to be an excellent month - not too hot, too cold or too wet! The walk started at 7am on Sunday morning when Alan met us in Apollo Bay and handed over a map, poncho, first aid kit, transponder, lunch and a HUGE bag of snacks. After that, we were on our way. You can choose your own pace and whether to walk alone or with others. Navigation is fairly simple. This walk turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. The organisation of Wilson & Alan was first class. Every dietary wish was catered for and it was impossible to go hungry. The scenery was varied and superb, including most of the wildlife that we had expected. Wilson puts the tents up at the campground, takes them down the next morning and transports luggage from camp to camp. All we needed to carry was a small day pack. There was a briefing every morning, lunch was issued and we were able to top up our snack bag. Then we were on our way. Day 4 of the 6-day itinerary is the hardest day, but if you are reasonable walking fit you will be OK. We still finished by 3pm and Wilson was on hand to transport us to the hostel at Princetown where we stayed for 2 nights. On reflection, the GOW with Hike2Camp was an excellent choice of activity. We are so glad that we experienced it. Thank you, Wilson and Alan!
