- Wildflower Tours If you’re keen to see the wildflowers and orchids in their natural environment, experts will take you on a Wildflower Tour. To be held twice daily at 10.15 am and 2pm, the tours will take guests to wildflower hot spots where they can walk amongst the flowers, take photos and absorb the natural beauty of the Grampians National Park. Tours must be booked and paid for on the day. Numbers strictly limited. For those who prefer to tour independently, written drive and walk suggestions will be available,
