Walking the Great Ocean Walk | Ryans Den to Devil’s Kitchen | Vlog 7
We were most excited about reaching Cape Otway when we first planned the Great Ocean Walk. I’ve always loved lighthouses, and that day felt like the perfect break from walking. It had been my favourite day of this trip—until today.
The 13 km walk from Ryan’s Den to Devil’s Kitchen was simply exceptional. It wasn’t that the views were more spectacular than on previous days. It was more about the feeling—the quintessential hiking day, exactly how you imagine a perfect walk to be when you plan it. The weather was beautiful, and our spirits were sky-high. We couldn’t wait to leave the tent and get going. Everything just felt right. With only a short distance left to go, we both knew for sure that we’d complete the Great Ocean Walk. But first, on to Devil’s Kitchen!
The morning started a little windy, but it soon turned into the perfect day. The wind dropped, the sun came out, and there wasn’t a single grey cloud above us. Around lunchtime, we met a friendly family who were also hiking the trail. The dad carried a heavy backpack, which impressed the kids—and us too. We spent the afternoon walking, laughing, and enjoying both the weather and the company. As I said before, it really was the ideal walking day.
The final stretch to Devil’s Kitchen followed the beach. After seven days walking beside the ocean, finally setting foot on the sand felt incredible. We couldn’t resist taking a long break before heading to the campsite. Instead, we lay on the beach for hours, swimming in the ocean and reading our books under the sun. It was pure bliss. There’s only one more day to go now—such a milestone. What makes it special isn’t just finishing the walk but the journey that got us here. Being here already feels like everything.
