The mystery is the adventure!

This a whole day experience is filled with a fabulous trail walk and a great pub lunch in a range of places throughout regional Victoria. We have found some amazing trails loaded with sniffs and sights and the best part is you only have to walk one way as Bella the Dog Bus will be your chauffeur for the day. All the trails are guided by our talented team who are there to lend a hand and show you the  is a fabulous opportunity to get out an about with your dog and stroll along

We start the day with some off leash fun socialising fun at Port Melbourne Then it is all aboard Bella as she chauffeurs you to a mystery destination while you enjoy morning tea and relax with like minded folks and their pooches.

Enjoy an easy grade guided trail walk of approx 5-9km with options of shorter distances or just stay on Bella - what ever you feel like. Bella will scoot along to set points along the trail, so you can get on when you paws get tired. Then it is off to a hand selected pub for lunch where you can choose to purchase from their menus.

There will be plenty of time to spend with new and existing friends before Bella takes you back home again. Dogs are with you for lunch in courtyard/beer garden.

Should the weather not be kind, then our team will be ready for the pooches on board Bella with snuggly massage.
