The Otis Foundation’s Mini Great Ocean Walk 2022

In February 2022, you’re invited to trek the Great Ocean Walk to the Twelve Apostles, following well-worn paths far away from the hustle and bustle of the Great Ocean Road. 

Beside sheer limestone cliffs, over wind-sculpted sand dunes, through lush coastal bushland and onto pristine beaches, you’ll experience the majesty of Victoria’s wild and rugged coastline while fur seals sun on the rocks and black cockatoos fly high above.

 Best of all, with every step you take, you’ll help The Otis Foundation give the gift of time and space to those experiencing breast cancer and their loved ones.

Each year The Otis Foundation makes close to 3,500 nights of retreat accommodation available to people experiencing breast cancer, and their loved ones, at no cost. 

Every $75 The Otis Foundation receives covers the cost of cleaning and linen required to provide one night at an Otis retreat.

As part of this incredible adventure, you’ll raise enough money to fund an extra 46 nights of retreat accommodation for someone experiencing breast cancer and their loved ones. Your physical and fundraising efforts will help ease the psychological and emotional burden of this disease and give someone experiencing breast cancer the opportunity to find nurture in nature.

How challenging is this adventure?

The Otis Great Ocean Walk is ranked 3/5. While no extensive trekking experience is required prior to registering, our adventures are designed for people who are relatively fit and willing to train. The trek is a physical challenge, and the fitter you are, the more you’ll enjoy the experience. 

You’ll be well supported on the adventure, with the guides and your team all cheering you on. You are free to move at your own pace and we will take frequent breaks.

How do I fundraise?

Never fundraised before? Not sure where to start? No worries, we don’t expect you to do it alone. You will have regular support from the Inspired Adventures fundraising team, who will help you make a fundraising plan to meet your target. Alongside personalised coaching, we will also send you lots of ideas and resources on how to fundraise. From online fundraising to trivia nights, to bake sales and out-of-the-box ideas, we have years and years of tried and tested tips to make your fundraising a success.

Who will I be travelling with?

We believe small group travel is better for the planet, and better for you. Our adventures usually have 10 – 20 people aged from 18 to 90+ (younger ages considered on request). You can be sure that you have all come together with the shared purpose of making a difference to others and having the adventure of a lifetime.

The group will be led by a local tour guide with expert knowledge of the region. Many groups will also be accompanied by an Inspired Adventures team leader or doctor to support and motivate the team.

Where applicable, a charity representative may also join the team. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn more about your chosen charity and their work.

We understand the dilemma of making travel plans when the world feels unpredictable right now. You can still register for an Inspired Adventure in complete confidence, because we promise to look after you should COVID-19 travel bans affect your plans.

If COVID-19 travel bans mean your Inspired Adventure cannot go ahead as scheduled, we will endeavour to reschedule the departure to a later date to allow you still to travel as planned.
