Wild South Coast Way 75km SA Beautiful coastal walking full pack

The hall­mark five-day four-night walk­ing expe­ri­ence from Cape Jervis to Vic­tor Har­bor. The trail offers some of the state’s most spec­tac­u­lar and awe-inspir­ing coastal walk­ing imag­in­able.
The WSCW pro­vides a gen­uine sense of wilder­ness, fea­tur­ing remote beach­es, native bush­land, rugged cliffs, First Nations’ his­to­ry, breath­tak­ing vis­tas, deep gul­lies and a rich diver­si­ty of native birds, bush and wildlife. Hike during the day and camp under the stars to experience a little bit more of what the Wild South Coast Way has to offer.
Start: Cape Jervis then walk 75km along the coast camping in remote walk in campsites to The Bluff, Vic­tor Harbor!
This is a full-pack hike requiring food, tent, sleeping gear, and wet weather gear for 5 days, you need to be self sufficient...

Expe­ri­ence the full 74 km trail, with its var­ied land­scapes, from rugged coastal cliffs to lush val­leys and sandy beach­es, wildlife purpose-built campsites and more!

Start with a morning transfer from Adelaide to Cape Jervis about 90 min then our first walk on the Wild South Coast Way! Finish by walking into Victor Harbour and checking into our motel for a hot shower, a few beers and well-earned slap-up dinner! Next day bus to Adelaide!
Day 1: 15 Nov Transfer to Cape Jervis to Eagle Waterhole 16km
Begin your journey, meeting on Ngarrindjeri Country. A 16km coastal walk leads you past Blowhole Beach (a surfer's haven and photographer's dream) and through varied terrain, from beaches to forested gullies. Enjoy the coastal scenery with minimal sand walking (a blessing for later days!). Keep an eye out for the quirky "UFO house." Camp at Waldi Krikin Ngawanthi (Eagle Waterhole) – book in advance.

Day 2: 16 Nov Eagle Waterhole to Yapari Ngawanthi 13km
A 13km hike through Deep Creek Conservation Park awaits. Descend to a gushing waterfall (especially impressive in winter)—a perfect lunch spot. Expect to see more people here, as the waterfall is popular with day hikers. Camp at Yapari Ngawanthi.

Day 3: 17 Nov Yapari Ngawanthi to Kurri Ngawanthi 17km
A 17km hike to Kurri Ngawanthi is planned. (My experience involved a 30km trek, hiking through dawn and dusk due to unforeseen circumstances—a testament to the trail's beauty, even under challenging conditions!). Your day should be more leisurely, featuring clifftop paths, seemingly vertical paddocks, sheep encounters, stretches of sand (it's beautiful, I promise!), and country roads.

Day 4: 18 Nov Kurri Ngawanthi to Natunyuru Ngawanthi 13km
Hike through farmland, encountering farm animals, before descending to a rocky beach. Ascend and navigate some potentially slippery cliff-edge sections. (In winter's wind, rain, and spray, this can be a vertigo-inducing experience—walk according to conditions!). Camp at Natunyuru Ngawanthi.

Day 5: 19 Nov Natunyuru Ngawanthi to Victor Harbour 13km
A highlight, weaving through the stunning Waitpinga Cliffs. Numerous viewpoints offer opportunities to pause and appreciate the scenery. As you approach The Bluff, keep an eye out for seals!
Walk to our motel and check in, hot showers and meet at the pub for a couple of well earned beers and a slap up dinner!

Day 6: 20 Nov Bus to Adelaide

Water is available along the way but should be treated. I will carry a PLB and first aid kit. I suggest if you normally use hiking poles and gaiters bring both.
