🌊 Hike the Prom in Style
There’s something timeless about Wilsons Prom—the wide beaches, granite peaks, and that feeling of being right on the edge of the world. This 4-day, 3-night escape with Walk Mornington Peninsula lets you experience it all in comfort: guided hikes to iconic spots like Squeaky Beach and Mount Oberon by day, nourishing meals and cosy cabins shared with a small group of like-minded legends by night. With all meals, transport, and thoughtful details included, it’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and soak up the soul of one of Victoria’s most treasured landscapes.

Local Spotlight

📍Craigs Hut ❄️🏔️

Perched high on Clear Hills, Craig’s Hut is one of the most iconic spots in Victoria’s High Country—made famous by The Man from Snowy River, but loved for much more. Whether you reach it by snowshoe, hike, 4WD or helicopter, the panoramic views and rugged alpine vibe make the journey well worth it. In winter, it’s a bucket-list destination for those chasing snow gums, silence, and the kind of stillness you only find above the treeline. Pack layers, your camera, and a sense of adventure.
