Wilsons Promontory Hiking Day Tour – Small Group (4–11 Guests)
Description
We arrive at Wilsons Prom and embark on our first hike for the day, a scenic coastal walk from Tidal River to Pillar Point. Following the banks of the Tidal River, the track winds through beautiful terrain before emerging to stunning 360 degree views of the bays and beaches of Wilsons Promontory. Once we return we will take a small drive to the general store for some lunch. Next, it’s time for our second hike of the day, a 7.8 km return journey to the famous Mt Oberon. From the summit, you will experience arguably the best coastal views in Victoria. Our next stop is one of our favourites, Squeaky Beach. Here you can wander on the incredibly white rounded grains of quartz which make a squeaking sound giving this popular local beach its name. Finally, as we are departing the National Park, we will make a stop to see our native furry friends. There is a high chance you’ll see Wombats, Emus, Kangaroos and Wallabies going about their daily business.

Had a great time with our knowledgeable host!
I don't know why this tour is less famous. Kurtis's car had spacious seats and comfortable seats, and he drove very safely. We worked hard to reach many schedules, and at the end of the trip to a nearby place, we took consideration of our physical strength and brought the car to a nearby place. This day is unforgettable and it was the best tour I've experienced in Melbourne.
The tour guide Kurtis was professional and friendly; it was a very pleasant day.
This is a must-do tour, it's very different than the Great Ocean Road Tour. It's an active tour, starting with a picturesque hike through a forest to an ocean view. There is a walk along a tidal river to another lovely viewpoint, then a walk on Squeaky Beach and a tour of a Wildlife Park to look for kangaroos and emus and wombats. This is the second oldest national park in the world, and is beloved by Melburnians. Ryan was a wonderful tour guide, looking after everyone and making sure to get to know everyone throughout the day. He really likes people, and was cheerful the entire 15 hour day. He helped make the day really fun.
The tour was amazing and Jayda is the best!
If you enjoy challenging hikes in a small group and want to see the most beautiful forests and beaches in the world, then this is THE tour for you. Our guide – I think her name was Gwinda – isn’t just a brilliant bus driver but also a real expert on geology. Thanks a million, it was a wonderful tour.
really cool! You have to love hiking! Superb views, swimming on a beautiful beach. Optimized day! Meals not included (planned stop on the road to buy a sandwich)
I booked this trip as a solo traveler and I'm so happy I went. The tour guide was super friendly, had great music for the drive there and back, and made sure everyone felt included. Everyone on the hike was delightful, and the views were amazing. Highly recommend Hike and Seek!
Andrew our guide was sooo lovely and low key throughout. Our day was full visitig the dunes, walking Mount Bishop, exploring Squeaky Beach and seeing so many animals on the wild life walk. Very worthwhile visiting Wilsons Promintory.
I had a great time on the Wilson’s Promontory tour. The hike offered beautiful views, and Squeaky Beach was a fun stop—it's true, the sand really does squeak! We even saw some wildlife, like kangaroos and ostriches! The small group made it easy to connect with others, and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the day even more enjoyable.
