Expert guiding for the full day, return transport from Port Melbourne, all the route planning and safety, lunch, snacks and electrolytes. You bring your own clothing, day pack and water.

Our hikes are graded Medium to Difficult. You should be comfortable walking for a full day over varied terrain with some steep climbs. If you're unsure whether a particular hike suits you, get in touch before booking.

Each hike's landing page has a full "what to wear and bring" list. The essentials are sturdy footwear, weather appropriate layers and plenty of water.

We meet in Port Melbourne at around 7.30am and travel to the trailhead together. Exact timing is on each hike's landing page and in your confirmation email.

Our guides are experienced at reading a group. The route has flexibility built in - we can adapt pace, modify the return route, and where needed, accommodate different ability levels within the group. You won't be left behind, and you won't be held back.

Your guide carries a full first aid kit and emergency communication device, and holds wilderness first aid certification. If you carry specific medications or have medical considerations, please let us know when booking and bring what you need on the day.

In the interest of participant safety and enjoyment, the lead guide may make adjustments to the planned route or location prior to the hike in response to adverse weather, trail conditions, or other environmental factors. Any such changes will be communicated to participants in advance where possible and will always reflect the best available option for the day.

Mountain Tribe is a premium, all-inclusive adventure company based in Melbourne. We run expeditions from Australia's alpine wilderness to the high trails of the Himalayas - including Everest Base Camp, Mount Bogong, and Mount Feathertop - and we've built our reputation on one thing: doing adventure properly.

Small groups. Expert guides. Every detail taken care of.

Our Single Day Hike series is our way of bringing the Mountain Tribe experience closer to home - a monthly reset for people who want more from their weekends, without the complexity of planning it themselves.

Spaces are capped at 11 participants per hike, so groups stay small and well supported.
