Details
Experience the breathtaking beauty of Western Australia's far southwest on the Cape to Cape Walk Track. This 123-kilometre trail winds along the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge, connecting the lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste and Cape Leeuwin.
Hikers will be treated to stunning coastal and forest landscapes, explore unique geological formations like cliffs, caves, and headlands, and witness a vibrant array of wildflowers and diverse vegetation. Timed for WA Wildflowers too…
The Cape to Cape Walk Track immerses hikers in the diverse landscapes of Western Australia's southwest. Hugging the coastline for much of its 123 kilometers, the trail alternates between dramatic cliff-top vistas and secluded beaches.
Inland loops offer a change of scenery, leading through tranquil woodlands and the majestic Boranup karri forest. The terrain itself is varied, ranging from established pathways and old 4WD tracks to more challenging rocky paths and sandy stretches. While the entire track presents a rewarding multi-day hike (typically five to seven days), numerous access points make shorter sections easily accessible for day trips or shorter adventures.
Rest day any day, our accommodation is located by Gnarabup beach, beautiful apartments with swimming pool, the café on the beach is fabulous, take a lazy day to explore Margaret River or a swim and wander along the beach!
Walking each day with your day pack, rain jacket and lunch only, support vehicle every day if you want to bail out, but limited pick-up points
Accommodation is lovely 2 bedroom apartments with 2 single beds in each bedroom with full kitchen, lounge, balcony & swimming pool etc located on the beach, expect super chef Yen to magic up some fabulous dinners for those that would like to share.
Fuel is by kitty keeping costs down, $50 collected on day 2 and probably enough for the whole trip, best thing about a kitty is flexibility able to change itinerary subject to weather etc.
Minibus is 12 seats with limited room for luggage, small overnight (or carryon) bag only please, plus you day pack.
