Best Activities & Tours in Mansfield

Mansfield is a bustling little adventure town located beneath the towering peaks of Mt Buller and Stirling. It’s a Victorian High-Country gem, and we know this because our Global Ballooning Australia team spends as much time here as possible – flying both commercially and for fun! Read on for a list of the best things to do in your downtime while visiting Mansfield.

WINE Tasting at Delatite Winery

Sample the very best of Mansfield’s vino, organically and biodynamically produced under David Ritchie’s careful stewardship. Learn about regenerative viticulture and be empowered by the positive impact we can have just by being aware of what we consume and where we are getting it.

Mansfield Bushwalks

Hop on the little Bushwalks bus and explore the floor of Mansfield valley to the tips of Timbertop… your eyes will be opened and your mind refreshed. We recommend a guided walk of the South Blue Ranges (Valley Views Discovery Walk) with our good friend, Monnie, who will leave you with a better understanding of the bush and the wildflowers who live here. 100% wholesome activity.

Mansfield Mini Golf

Hot donuts, ice cream, coffee and fun for the whole family! This spot’s a winner.

High Country Hiking Tours

Keen to try a multi-day hike but haven’t yet invested in the gear? That’s where Romana comes in. She’ll kit you out, brief you up and make sure you’re ready for the ultimate adventure. Consider Two Peaks the essential High-Country experience – a three-day hike traversing Stirling and Buller, camping under the stars the first night and snuggling up in a lodge the second. Spectacular in spring when the snow recedes to reveal some of Australia’s premium hiking trails.

Hidden Trails by Horseback

Exploring Victoria’s High Country on horseback — everything from half‑day trips to a few nights in the classic Victorian backcountry huts. If you’ve always wanted to visit Craig’s Hut, this is absolutely the way to do it.

Glamping with Friends

All the fun of camping with none of the fuss. Who’s cooking S’mores? You are.

BALLOON Flight WITH GLOBAL BALLOONING AUSTRALIA

Ok, cheeky, but you know how we keep saying Mansfield is super special? It’s one of the very few places in Australia with a microclimate stable enough to enable consistent afternoon balloon flights over winter. When you experience these stunning ambient conditions yourself, you’ll understand what we mean. Available May to the end of September (morning flights available year-round).
