Discover the spectacular landscapes of the Grampians (Gariwerd) on this full-day adventure from Melbourne. Journey through rugged mountain ranges, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic lookouts, while encountering native Australian wildlife and exploring the region’s rich Aboriginal heritage.

Depart Melbourne early and travel through western Victoria’s historic goldfields. Pause in the charming town of Beaufort for morning tea before continuing towards the Grampians. From the surrounding plains, catch your first breathtaking view of Mt William as the sandstone ridges of the park rise dramatically against the sky.

While the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre is currently closed, guests can still learn about the region’s cultural significance through interpretive commentary from your guide. Hear about the local Indigenous people, their connection to the land, and the six seasons of the Grampians, while keeping an eye out for kangaroos and emus that often roam the area.

Venture into the heart of the park and arrive at Halls Gap, a picturesque township nestled beneath the mountains. Take time to explore and enjoy lunch at your own expense before continuing into the Mt Difficult Range. Stop at Boroka Lookout for sweeping views of the surrounding plains, then walk to Reeds Lookout, a dramatic cliff-edge vantage point offering one of the park’s most photographed panoramic views. Continue to The Balconies, a striking rock formation featured in the Japanese animation Princess Mononoke, where the cliffs and surrounding landscape provide perfect photo opportunities.

Next, experience the majestic MacKenzie Falls, one of Australia’s largest and most iconic waterfalls. Follow the stairs down to the base of the cascade to feel the cool spray and soak up the natural beauty. For those seeking a quieter stop, Silverband Falls offers a serene alternative with equally stunning surroundings.

As the afternoon draws to a close, watch for large mobs of kangaroos grazing in the park before beginning the return journey to Melbourne. On the way home, make a short rest stop in Ararat, a convenient spot to stretch your legs and refresh before continuing the scenic drive back to the city.

Travel in comfort aboard a small-group vehicle with large panoramic windows for sightseeing and photography, ensuring a relaxed and intimate journey throughout the day.
