5.00Had a really great time on this trip. We explored the Grampian view points and it was spectacular. Graham was the best tour guide ever. He made sure we were well informed, made sure we were taken care of, made sure that no one was left behind, made sure that we enjoyed nature and hiking just as much as he does. It was a superb trip. Would highly recommend this.

5.00The Grampians Hiking Day trip was a fun adventure in beautiful country. Our guide, Jacob, did a great job of personalizing the stops based on what the group wanted to do, and I appreciated his sense of humor along the way. It was a long drive, but we made multiple stops for small towns, lookouts, animal sightings, and several long and short hikes through the mountains. I learned a lot, not just about Australian ecology, but also Aussie culture! Fair warning: if you get the “fish and chips” for lunch, that fish may very well be shark meat!!

5.00My girlfriend and I looked on Viator for some full day sightseeing options, and really got interested in seeing the Grampians, even though neither of us had ever heard of the national park. This had the best reviews and we loved the tour and experience. We got lucky and had great weather so all the views were clear. People complain about the walk down/up related to the waterfalls, and while yes it is steep with lots of steps, even people with just an okay fitness level can handle it. Our tour guide was fantastic and made the experience even better, and we were both really happy with how the day went. We felt we did have enough time at all the spots we stopped at, but that also might be because the Aboriginal museum wasn't open or available, so we might have spent more time at some spots than other groups have in the past who were able to go to the museum and center. I'm 6'5" and bigger, so yes the bus/minivan was super small, but I was able to make it through just fine.
