About Otway Eco Tours
Otway Eco Tours is an ecotourism-certified operator running mountain bike tours, bike hire and nature experiences through the Otway Ranges behind the Great Ocean Road. Based at Forrest — dubbed one of Australia's premier mountain biking destinations with more than 50 kilometres of purpose-built trails — the business is led by a guide with a degree in zoology and botany, giving every tour a genuine natural-history depth.
The mountain bike offering caters to everyone from first-timers to confident riders, with hire bikes available and guided rides matched to ability across the Forrest trail network. Alongside the riding, Otway Eco Tours runs guided canoe trips to spot wild platypus at dusk and walking experiences along sections of the Great Ocean Walk, making it a one-stop operator for land and water adventures in the hinterland.
Holding both Ecotourism certification and Better Business accreditation, Otway Eco Tours stands out for its low-impact, knowledge-rich approach to the forest. Tours typically meet at the Forrest Brewing Company, and the combination of expert guiding, quality equipment and a genuine conservation ethic has earned the operator a loyal following among nature-minded visitors to the region.
