Overview

This is the very first tour in Melbourne’s metro area to offer an immersive, nature-focused experience that combines hiking, culture, and history.
This unique journey invites travellers to explore the city through the eyes of a local, discovering hidden cultural gems that are beloved by residents but often missed by tourists.

Just 15 minutes away from the city centre, it’s a rare opportunity to walk along the Yarra River’s stunning parklands, uncover its rich history, and connect with Melbourne’s natural beauty in a way no other tour offers.
From the largest flying fox colony to the historic Boathouse, the Heritage-listed Abbotsford Convent, and the culturally significant Dights Falls, this tour blends the city’s heritage with its vibrant community, offering a distinctive, off-the-beaten-path adventure that highlights what makes Melbourne truly special.
