AUSTRALIA’S GREAT OCEAN WALK
TREK FOR ORANGUTANS – 3-7 September 2026
Join us for an unforgettable orangutan-packed adventure with Lou Grossfeldt, an orangutan expert, primatologist, and renowned author from Borneo Orangutan Survival Australia. Together we’ll walk the iconic Great Ocean Walk from Apollo Bay to the Twelve Apostles to raise funds and awareness for orangutan conservation and habitat restoration in Borneo.
Experience four glorious days of dramatic coastal scenery — towering cliffs, secluded beaches, coastal forests and abundant wildlife — while travelling with a small group of like-minded people and expert local guides. Over the trek, you’ll cover approximately 40–43 km, walking with only a day pack and arriving each afternoon to comfortable accommodation immersed in the landscape. Evenings are spent enjoying freshly prepared meals made with local, seasonal produce, surrounded by the sounds of nature and the company of your fellow trekkers.
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to make a meaningful impact for orangutan conservation, you’ll be raising funds towards rescuing orangutans from harm caused by the wildlife trade and human-orangutan conflict, supporting their care and rehabilitation, and contributing to habitat restoration and protection to ensure their survival in the wild.
Join us for an adventure of a lifetime and learn all about this critically endangered species from one of the world’s leading experts.
Join us on our next trek!
How Can You Help
There are lots of ways you can support orangutans and help ensure the survival of this precious ape.
Adopt an Orangutan
Orangutans are endangered and at risk of extinction. Habitat destruction results in hundreds of orphaned orangutans, who rely on our care every year. You can help by adopting one. Their dedicated ‘nannies’ teach them everything they need to know for when it’s time to release them back to the wild. You can follow their progress through Forest School.
