About this event
French Island is in the heart of Westernport Bay, and offers tranquil surroundings and pristine flora and fauna. With next to no traffic, thousands of koalas and plenty of history, this makes for a perfect overnight hike. This trip includes ferry fees, camping permits, professional guides and yummy home cooked food! The French Island hike is also a bit of a bonus because you can get right to the start on the train!
If you have never done an overnight hike or you’re unsure about carrying a pack, this is your opportunity to make the most of it! We only carry our backpacks for the first 5km, then set up camp and continue with day bags to explore the wilderness and easy tracks around the island. The short distance we carry our backpacks also means it's a great opportunity for new gear testing and the campsite usually has a fair bit of grass and nice and big so you spread out.
With great proximity to Melbourne, this is a wonderful opportunity to explore a part of Victoria that is not often visited, yet offers some of the best walking, right at our doorstep.
