Click to view gallery

The 12 Apostles Walk is a 3-day tour of the Great Ocean Walk, spanning a little over half of the entire trek. While our 3-day Hike the Cape Tour is on the milder side of the walk, this 12 Apostles stretch is the more isolated, more rugged final three days of the Great Ocean Walk. This remote 58km section of track is known as the ‘Wild Side’ and is perfect for the adventurer short on time looking for a concise 3-day Great Ocean Walk itinerary. Walking pack free, you’ll end your trip at the iconic Twelve Apostles. If you have a little more time and would like a similar but slightly longer journey spread over 4 days, check out our 4-day Great Ocean Walk Wild Side Tour. Otherwise, keep reading below to find out all the features of this 3-day Great Ocean Walk tour. And please contact us if you have any questions.
