Wild West Wanderer

The Wild West Wanderer is Part Two of our Split Trail Series, a three-day journey from Johanna Beach to the Twelve Apostles. This section of the Great Ocean Walk is defined by its wild beauty — steep coastal hills, remote beaches, and some of the highest sea cliffs on mainland Australia.

The trail begins on the vast sands of Johanna before climbing into rolling farmland and rugged coastal ridges. It continues through secluded landscapes, past the remote sweep of Milanesia Beach, and on towards The Gables Lookout, a dramatic vantage point high above the Southern Ocean. The journey concludes at the Twelve Apostles, one of Australia's most iconic natural landmarks, where the full scale of the coast is revealed.

Across the hike you'll stay at carefully selected partner properties closer to the western end of the trail. This reduces transfer times and places you close to the most dramatic stages of the walk, while ensuring a comfortable night's rest and considered hospitality.

Every detail is arranged: transfers, meals, safety equipment, and the support of our local team. Tier Two guests also enjoy upgraded rooms at partner properties, curated meals, a complimentary recovery session at The Corner Sauna in Apollo Bay, and additional touches that reflect our quietly elevated approach to hiking.

The Wild West Wanderer is a complete three-day adventure in its own right, and the natural continuation of the Split Trail Series.
