epyic Explorer Melbourne | Wild South

WEEK 33 · AUGUST 2025 · MELBOURNE'S BEST OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

Welcome back, epyic crew!

This week we’re heading south, way south. Our featured adventure is a fully supported multi day trek along the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail, with sweeping coastlines, wildlife encounters and iconic landmarks like Remarkable Rocks. It’s one of the great walks of Australia and worth planning ahead for. Closer to home, we’ve lined up new dives, local hikes, and kayak trips. Whether you’re going remote or keeping it coastal, your next move starts here.

Over five days you will cover 73km of dramatic coastline, ancient bushland, sculpted rock formations, and pristine beaches—without the heavy pack. Expect wildlife encounters, exclusive access to Seal Bay, and side trips to icons like Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks. This is remote walking at its finest, with nothing to carry but a day pack and your sense of wonder.
