Victoria will not disappoint those with a focus on outdoor fun. Whether it is riding or hiking its spectacular alpine region, walking the epic coastline west of Melbourne, or exploring one of Australia’s most iconic coastal national parks, there is loads of adventure on tap. Here are three escapes to start planning now so you’re ready to roll once restrictions are eased!
Destinations

It might be called the Shipwreck Coast but it’s a walk that can be done in style and comfort.
Adventure
Kayaking with Australian fur seals
At first you might think it’s a typo when you see ‘seal kayaking’. But think again: this is actually kayaking with seals.
Wildlife
Saving the tiger quoll
Quolls aren’t such a well-known Aussie animal, but their plight is not looking good, especially for the tiger quoll.
Adventure
Zipping through the trees on the Otway Fly
There’s not shortage of adventures in the Otway ranges, but one of the funnest is the Otway Fly – a zipline through the trees.
Wildlife
Spotting the elusive platypus

Adventure
Cape Otway lighthouse
The Great Ocean Walk area also boasts an important part in the history of Australia.

The 12 Apostles
One of the highlights of the Great Ocean Walk, of course, is the finale of finishing at the 12 Apostles, and they don’t disappoint.
Wildlife
