At Yarra Bend Tours, we believe in creating meaningful experiences that go far beyond standard sightseeing.
What makes us different is our focus on creating authentic connections between visitors, the land, and its culture, while offering a deeper exploration of hidden local gems through an active walk along the trails.
Set in one of Melbourne’s most significant natural spaces, our guided walks weave together local stories, native animals, heritage building and the hidden beauty of Yarra Bend, delivering an enriching experience that feels personal, authentic, and deeply connected.
Chloé Favre is the founder and lead guide of Yarra Bend Tours, where she brings together her love of the outdoors, storytelling, and local culture. Originally from the French Alps, Chloé has spent over ten years exploring Australia’s trails and helping others experience the health and lifestyle benefits of walking in nature.
With a background in communication and a passion for community, she created Yarra Bend Tours to offer small group walking experiences that highlight Melbourne’s natural beauty, Indigenous heritage, and hidden pockets of tranquility.
Chloé is also the founder of Hike Tribe, a community-focused hiking business dedicated to connection, well-being, and confidence-building through hiking.
Her goal? To help others discover the joy of slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and experiencing Melbourne’s outdoors in a deeper, more mindful way.
