The Basics

Most Grampians National Park tours set out from Melbourne; long day trip highlights include a visit to Halls Gap, the park’s only town; lookout points, such as Reeds, Boroka, or the Balconies; or a short hike at MacKenzie Falls or the Pinnacles. Hike through valleys, see incredible lookout point views, or taste Wartook Valley’s chardonnay.

Spend more time hiking and camping on a multi-day trip. Tours often go one-way between Melbourne and Adelaide, including a drive along the Great Ocean Road, a night in Grampians National Park, or a visit to the nearby gold rush town of Ballarat.

Kangaroos in the Wild
Grampians National Park was very cool. The cultural center was closed for construction, but we saw a few kangaroos and emus in the wild. Quite a few overlooks with beautiful views. Makenzie Falls is a lot of steps on the way back up. If it's super hot, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. All in all, recommend.

A long day in a coach but worth the trip. Wes our guide and driver was informative, helpful and accomodating. In addition to the scheduled visits he added one to Bunji's shelter.

It was a good day out in the country. The info on the flyer was misleading. All items listed was not covered. There was no entry fee to the parks. Except for a wallaby and a few emus did not see any other wild life.
Great trip

This trip was fantastic. Lovely to be in nature and experience the beautiful grampians and the countryside. Besides that, Dan(dy) was absolutely the best tourguide you could wish for. Great stories, very knowledgeable, playing perfect (Australian) music while sightseeing. Highly recommended this trip.

This tour delivered everything it promised. We had the opportunity to explore the National Park at a relaxed pace. Stops were well-placed and there were plenty of kangaroos and emus to delight the overseas guests on our bus. It was a very full day of activities - we returned to our starting point at 9.30 pm.

Although the trip is very tiring as we spend most of the time on the bus, the place is absolutely stunning. One of the most beautiful views I've ever seen. I wish we could've had more time to spend at the waterfalls and be able to go for swim. Other than that, the experience was amazing. The staff was really nice and I could learn some things with them.
Lovely experience !!

Grampians National Park with Kangaroos and MacKenzie Falls from Melbourne
This was a great tour for me as an active person. A few hikes that we quite rewarding with amazing views. The bike to the falls requires a bit of physical ability. There are 280 steep and uneven steps that even a fit person will have trouble with in the heat. Be prepared and listen to the guide when she says bring water. It was a wonderful tour.
Great value for money, enjoy the grampians  and let them do ths driving  sit back and 😉

Grampians National Park with Kangaroos and MacKenzie Falls from Melbourne
Our guide, Janet "J-Dog" Archibald was excellent and accommodating. While some reviewers expressed disappointment that roughly half of the tour is spent driving to and from The Grampians and to various lookouts and wildlife viewing areas, we found that the drive and J-Dog's commentary provided an excellent tutorial for us right-side-of-the-road drivers who were renting a motorhome the next day. J-Dog also offered us tips of things to see on our camping trip around the beautiful state of Victoria. To the tour operator: the five-star rating is directed to our guide and the tour itinerary, not the mini-bus we used on the tour; it had a terrible suspension that did little to smooth out the many roadway bumps. The mini-bus was also rather uncomfortable for my 2-meter frame. The seats were placed so close together that, with my bum pushed into the seat as much as possible, my knees were jammed into the seat in front of me. I did find a bit of relief by moving my wife to another row and placing one leg into the aisle and "man-spreading" into the extra seat next to me. Even then, I found it difficult to stay in various contorted positions for long with the jarring, heaving mini-bus suspension bouncing this way and that. I strongly suggest that you consign a more comfortable mini-bus to this drive-intensive tour.

How to Get There

Drive along the Western Highway from Melbourne to reach Grampians National Park in West Victoria. Halls Gap in the east, Dunkeld in the south, and Wartook in the north provide access to the park. Trains from Melbourne run to Ararat, from where buses head to Halls Gap, but exploring with your own transport or joining a tour is more convenient.
