Description
Discover the waterfalls, lookouts and wildlife of Grampians National Park on a private full-day tour from Melbourne. Enjoy guided walks, wild kangaroo spotting and lunch in Halls Gap.
Take a private full-day tour from Melbourne to the Grampians (Gariwerd), Victoria's dramatic sandstone mountain ranges, three hours west of the city. Visit waterfalls and panoramic lookouts, spot native wildlife, and enjoy lunch in Halls Gap — a long day trip made for private touring.
Your driver-guide gets you on the road early so the day belongs to you, not the timetable. In Halls Gap you'll meet the local kangaroos and emus, visit the Brambuk Aboriginal Cultural Centre for the deep-time story of Gariwerd, then head up into the ranges: the sweeping views from Boroka and Reed Lookouts, the famous overhang of the Balconies, and the thunder of MacKenzie Falls, one of Victoria's great waterfalls.
Lunch in Halls Gap is included, so there's no queueing with the crowds — more time at the lookouts, more time on the short walks, more of the Grampians to yourselves. You'll be back in Melbourne by around 8 PM.
Good to know: this is a long day (12.5 hours) with short walks at several stops — a moderate fitness level helps. Walks are optional; lookouts are the main event.
