WHAT TO EXPECT

Wilson Prom is one of the most iconic locations in Victoria, if not all of Australia. Wilson Prom is a stunning wildlife sanctuary with some of most stunning look outs in Australia, most notably the Mt Oberon Summit lookout. The prom is blessed with some of the best beaches in Victoria and is also jammed packed with wildlife like Wombats, Wallabies, Echidnas and more! This is a must do day trip for anyone visiting or living in Victoria!

We have charted a bus for this trip so transport and entry to the national park is included. We will meet at Caulfield Station for an early morning departure before making our way to Wilson Prom for full day of adventuring. We will also break up the drive with a quick coffee stop at Leongatha along the way. Once we reach the Prom, we have an awesome day planned! We will start with the Mt Oberon Summit Hike, where we will have a picnic lunch at the summit, from there we will head to Squeaky Beach for a chance to explore the amazing rock formations as well go for a quick dip in the ocean, and then to cap it all off, we will finish the day with a relaxing stroll through the Prom Wildlife Walk area for some wombat spotting!

The Oberon Summit hike is a reasonably challenging hike and does require reasonable level of fitness to complete. The trek is 6km return with around 350m of elevation.

IMPORTANT NOTE: There are no meet us there tickets for this events. All tickets include transport departing and returning to Caulfield station. Spots are strictly limited so be quick to avoid disappointment.
