Fresh air, cycle touring at your pace and journeying new frontiers. It’s more than sightseeing, it’s full-on adventure when you hit one of the Great Ocean Road Region’s amazing rail trails, either on your bike or on foot. Every rail trail is a new experience in nature, environment and community.

Beach-lovers will warm to the Warrnambool to Port Fairy Rail Trail taking in gorgeous sea views, wildlife-laden wetlands, sand dunes and a 25,000-year-old volcano at Tower Hill. It’s 37km of marvellous meandering fun.

If you’re looking for foodie adventure, hit up the Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail (below) Punctuate the 34km trek with a dram or two of fine single malt at Timboon or gourmet ice-cream in the heart of dairying country. Or order a picnic of delicious local produce to enjoy as you journey old trestle bridges, crater lakes and spellbinding scenery. In mid-2023, the connecting 14km 12 Apostles Trail from Timboon to Port Campbell opens.

Family fun awaits on the 6km Terang to Noorat Bike Trail. Stop along the way to walk to the top of Mount Noorat for commanding views of lakes and peaks dotting the sweeping volcanic plains.

MIGHTY HIGH ADVENTURE …

• For a once-in-a-lifetime high, join Skydive 12 Apostles for a jump over one of Australia’s iconic natural wonders. Climb to your jump height over the Bay of Islands, Loch Ard Gorge, the Bay of Martyrs and, of course, the 12 Apostles, then experience the ultimate freedom and exhilaration of skydiving.

• Buckle in to the Shockwave Zip Coaster at Lorne’s Live Wire Park for a twisting, adrenaline-pumping zoom through the towering Otway treetops. Shake it out on the elevated trampolining net park and explore 120 metres of easy suspended pathway. This is Australia’s only off-grid elevated adventure park.

• At Otway Fly Treetop Adventures, traverse the 600-metre long elevated walkway suspended high in the rainforest canopy. Climb the 47-metre tall Spiral Tower and cantilever perched above Young’s Creek. Sway with the natural movement of the trees as you take in spectacular views.

• Relive your playground days on the 15-metre high monkey bars or soar through the air on a Pegasus at Treetops Adventure Yeodene, where a range of elevated challenges and bird’s eye views await. For a kid-friendly activity book your 8-12 year-old into a KidZip session where they climb the course with an instructor.

• A trip to the famous 12 Apostles is really not complete without seeing the awesome rock stacks and coastline from the sky. 12 Apostles Helicopters is open from dawn to dusk 365 days per year.
