There’s so much adventure to be had in the spectacular Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park.
For those up for a challenge, we suggest a hike to The Pinnacle which rewards with some of the Grampians’ most stunning views. Stop by the Venus Baths naturally formed rock pools for a refreshing swim or toe-dip on your way back down.
The crew at Absolute Outdoors are consummate experts when it comes to crafting safe yet adventurous experiences that leave you with a deeper understanding of yourself and the Grampians. A half-day rock climb or abseil is an invigorating way to find your zen and bond together before your visitors depart.
Outdoor escapists will most likely travel to the Grampians bikes in tow but if not, hire some from Halls Gap E-Bike Hire and scoot around town or bring your own and hit the Arapiles Big Cycle Trail. The trail can either be tackled as a 33km loop or in smaller sections. You’ll discover diverse grasslands, sand dunes, magnificent canola fields and most likely some local wildlife.
Pack a picnic and lunch at the Bluff Mount Arapiles Lookout where you’ll be wowed by uninterrupted views of the Wimmera.
The trail begins and ends in the heritage town of Natimuk. Be sure to explore the charming town and take a stroll through the nineteenth-century heritage township where you will discover restored heritage buildings, local produce, antiques, and crafts.
Natimuk is blessed with a number of nearby lakes including picturesque Lake Toolondo – host to many recreational water sports. If you've still got energy to burn, how about some kayaking, fishing or water skiing?
Why not mix things up and head out on a wine adventure? Hop on the Mountainside Wines Rotundone Road Shiraz Adventure – a full day tour tasting the range of Shiraz along the route, taking in Mountainside Wines, Mount Langi Ghiran and Dogrock Winery.
If you've got the kids in tow, why not explore one of the many family-friendly wineries the Grampians has to offer.
Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a complete novice, you’ll love discovering the elegant reds and vast vineyards of our welcoming wineries.
From camping under the stars, to cosy cabins and five-star accommodation - the Grampians has it all.
