Looking for the best Grampians guided walk holiday? One that blends breathtaking trails, rich culture, friendly company, and zero logistics stress? Well, here’s how four days Gariwerd (the Indigenous name for the Grampians, meaning “pointed mountain” or “mountain range created by Bunjil”, the creator spirit) with Park Trek can leave you refreshed, inspired, and ready for more.
What to Expect on our 4-Day Grampians Guided Walk
Our itinerary showcases the Grampians’ greatest highlights —Mackenzie Falls, the Wonderland Range, Mount Rosea, and Boronia Peak—with comfortable nights in and around Halls Gap, nourishing meals, and expert guides who bring the landscape to life. You’ll carry only a day pack while we handle transport, accommodation and catering—so you can simply walk, look up, and enjoy.
In the words of one of our guests: “This walk meant I could finally switch off and just walk. The guides were on it from sunrise to sunset – knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring. All the logistics was taken care of by Park Trek. No decisions required from me, so I could just focus on the walking.”
Why This is the Best Grampians Guided Walk
Signature Sights without the Crowds
From the powerful, year‑round cascade of Mackenzie Falls to the airy summit blocks on Mount Rosea and the sweeping lookout of Boronia Peak, this route balances iconic viewpoints with quieter tracks.
The Comfort of Small Groups & Two Guides
We cap groups at around 10, with two accredited guides to set an easy rhythm and ensure no one’s left behind. This way you’ll enjoy a more personal, insightful, and safe walk with flexibility to walk at your pace.
Halls Gap as Your Base
Nestled below the Wonderland Range, Halls Gap offers cafés, wildlife on the lawn, and easy access to trailheads—perfect after a day on the peaks. For more information see Visit Grampians.
The Walks You’ll Remember When You’re Home
Day 1 – Zumsteins to Mackenzie Falls (Migunang wirab)
We ease in beside the Mackenzie River past Fish Falls to the amphitheatre of Mackenzie Falls—the Grampians’ most iconic, all‑season waterfall—before settling in near Halls Gap. This is a beautiful introduction to the stunning Gariwerd landscape.
Day 2 – Wonderland Range – Grand Canyon, The Pinnacle & Sundial
Rising from Stony Creek, you’ll weave between sculpted sandstone in the Grand Canyon and Silent Street, then step out to the Pinnacle platform before continuing towards Sundial. Expect big views and a true “Grampians moment.”
Day 3 – Mount Rosea (Bugiga Mirgani)
A steady, rewarding climb to 360‑degree panoramas of the Serra and Mount William Ranges—past the famed “Gate of the East Wind.” This is a favourite among returning guests for its sense of achievement and airy summit slabs.
Day 4 – Boronia Peak Finale
We finish on a high with a rocky scramble to Boronia Peak, looking across the Fyans Valley, Lake Fyans, and the rugged silhouettes of the Wonderland Range—an unforgettable capstone to your Grampians guided walk.

Gariwerd’s Living Culture: Rock Art, Story, and Respect
Walking on Country
Traditionally known as Gariwerd, the Grampians hold the largest number of significant Aboriginal rock art sites in southern Australia, with over 80% of Victoria’s recorded rock art situated here. Visiting with context adds depth to every step you take.
Brambuk: Begin with Understanding
Brambuk is The National Park & Cultural Centre in Halls Gap. It provides valuable information about the Djab Wurrung and Jadawadjali peoples’ enduring connection to Country, seasonal knowledge, and cultural practices.
Rock Art Highlights
Gariwerd is rich with traditional rock art. Among many attractions, rock art sites include:
- Bunjil’s Shelter (Black Range) – The only known rock art depiction of the creator spirit Bunjil.
- Billimina, Manja and Gulgarn Manja shelters – Hand stencils, clan symbols and more, often located in dramatic sandstone overhangs.
Nature’s Drama, Up Close
The Grampians (Gariwerd) are celebrated for towering sandstone ranges, spring wildflowers, and abundant wildlife—from kangaroos and emus to wedge‑tailed eagles circling the thermals. The national park’s trails deliver lookouts, waterfalls and airy ridgelines in every direction. On our guided walk you’ll get up close to:
- Mackenzie Falls flow year‑round and is among Victoria’s most spectacular waterfalls. Multiple accessible lookouts and a steep stairway to the base offer options for all energy levels.
- Wonderland Range walks feature sculpted canyons, ferny gullies and the famous Pinnacle lookout—classics you’ll remember.
- Mount Rosea rewards effort with broad, cinematic views across the park.
Food, Homestyle Comforts & The Joy of Not Having to Plan
You’ll enjoy homestyle meals prepared by your guides, tasty trail lunches, snacks and fruit, plus comfortable lodge‑style accommodation near Halls Gap—so mornings are easy and evenings sociable. Guests consistently tell us they love “the small touches”: hot drinks at just the right moment, a well‑timed wildlife spot, or an optional sunset stroll before dinner.
“Guides who truly care – they set the perfect pace and shared local stories that made Gariwerd come alive… [and] logistics-free walking – just a day pack, and everything else appeared as and when needed. [The walk] provided connection – with nature, with the group, and with myself.”
