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, 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.
