Truly exceptional. The website led to expectations, and the reality exceeded them. Flexible, knowlegable, outstanding friendly service. We couldn't have asked for more on this very special trip. Peter was a highlight with his knowledge of the trail, Rod's local history knoweledge was fascinating, Brad's outlook was so interesting, and Susie's friendly energy was a delight. From first contact, through walk notes and daily briefs, to each day's roundup was fantastic. We seld catered, and all our bags were transported without a glitch each day. Mark is highly contactable. Could not recommend more highly.

Amazing Experience enhanced by Walk 91 team Walk 91 team - thank you. We are so pleased we booked our Great Ocean Walk with a local company. Mark, Brad, Peter and Suzie - your support, knowledge, friendliness and advice was appreciated. Nancy - your cakes and cooking, amazing! Such a well co-ordinated trip from the first contact when enquiring to the last email congratulating us on completing the 7 day walk. Every need taken care of with above expectation for food, accommodation and transportation. At all times, we were reminded that it was our trip so there was no pressure to finish each day’s walk at a certain time. Amazing experience enhanced by the exceptional service provided by Walk 91.

We have just completed a 6 day walk Apollo Bay to 12 Apostles with Walk91. Lots of blue tongues, wallabies, a few snakes, koalas, loads of birds and wonderful flowering natives. The GOW is immersive and the views are truly spectacular. You can’t see what we saw by driving the Great Ocean Road only the walkers are afforded this privilege. The itinerary worked well for us. Some inclines were tough especially the second last day but we did it. Staff were all long time locals and knowledgeable. Brad, Suzie and Rod were always on time and helpful. Mark was always responsive when we were on the walk. The accommodation was great and there was so much healthy food. We loved that many local businesses were involved as well. A fabulous operation that I would highly recommend.

We’ve just completed the full length of the Great Ocean Walk over six days, and we couldn’t have been happier with the service provided by Walk91. They organised our transport, supplied our food, and booked our accommodation, making the whole experience seamless from start to finish. From the moment we booked to our final goodbyes to our driver on the last day, everything ran exceptionally smoothly. Communication was excellent, the daily instructions were clear, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The food provided was of a very high standard and far more than our group of six could manage! We also loved the two accommodations organised for us: one of the cottages at Cape Otway Lightstation and a couple of cabins at By Moonlight. Both were fantastic places to stay along the way. The drivers (we mainly had Peter) were always punctual, friendly and full of great tips. Mark, one of the owners and our main point of contact, was a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond to accommodate the extra requests we made during our time on the track. We would highly recommend Walk91 to anyone planning to walk the Great Ocean Walk. Their organisation, communication and genuine willingness to go the extra mile made our six-day adventure all the more enjoyable. Thank you, Walk91, for helping make it such a memorable experience!

Just had an amazing week walking the Great Ocean Road with a girlfriend. Walk91 were incredible, from the first contact to arrange the trip, to the final day when we said goodbye to the team, nothing was too much trouble. The organisation was fantastic, the food provided was brilliant, great accommodation. I would highly recommend Walk91 to anyone considering this walk.

Walk 91 developed the perfect itinerary for our three-day hike from Aire River to the 12 Apostles. Everything was seamless and well planned from our fantastic driver, Peter, who went over and above, the luxurious accommodation and scrumptious food. Of course the wondrous ever-changing scenery stole the show! Highly recommend Walk 91

solo self-guided walk with Walk91 A big thank you to the Walk91 team for facilitating my fantastic experience walking the Great Ocean Walk! For a woman doing this walk solo, it was reassuring to have someone drop me at the trail head in the mornings, text to check in along the way, and to pick me up at the end of each day. Mark runs a highly co-ordinated set-up and was able to accommodate my requests to swap walking and rest days or to shorten some sections without any trouble. Mark, Rod, Brad, and Peter know every inch of the walk, and by the end of my trip they felt like old friends. The local knowledge that they shared during pick-ups/drop offs – e.g., the best places to spot koalas, help identifying birds, tips on where to eat, history of the area – enriched the whole experience. The places that Walk91 chose for me to stay were all top notch, with By Moonlight a stand-out (including a chance to see the bower constructed by the resident satin bower bird). The luxurious and abundant home-made food was a delight to look forward to after each day’s walk - the Moroccan veg stew and the peach cake with cream were especially memorable! I highly recommend Walk91 to anyone thinking of doing the Great Ocean Walk.

My sister and I completed the Great Ocean Walking Track with Walk91 and enjoyed every minute of the 6 days. The track is beautifully maintained and our driver was there waiting to collect us at the end of each day. The accomodation was excellent and had us revived and ready for the next day. We have no hesitation in recommending Walk91.

To Mark, Brad and team Thank you for an amazing experience over the last 5.5 days. We all enjoyed the walk and your support and coordination over the time was fantastic. The accommodation was spot on and the food exceeded our expectations. Brad was always on time to pick us up in the mornings and at the end of the days walking. His happy nature, local knowledge and sense of humour was much appreciated. It was a great way to experience the Great Ocean Road and the Otways From the Mallee Girls, South Australia
