Auswalk’s Cape to Cape trip is a group guided walking holiday staying in comfortable accommodation at night. You progress along the track moving from one accommodation to the next. We move your luggage for you while you are out walking.
This holiday starts and finishes in Perth. The Cape to Cape is one of Western Australia’s premier long distance walking trails. Situated in the Margaret River wine region, it joins Cape Leeuwin in the south with Cape Naturaliste in the north. Each cape features an historic lighthouse, commissioned in 1896 and 1903 respectively, to guide shipping along the busy sea-lanes. Violent Antarctic storms have etched out a spectacular coastline of rocky bays, limestone platforms and craggy little islands.
It’s a challenging expeditionary hike, and at 135km, it’s the longest coastal walk in Australia. But, unlike ship-wrecked sailors, you’ll enjoy staying in our attractive lodgings each night. And, with two guides to show you the way, you’ll have the option of completing the entire track or walking for just a part of each day.
The track offers a great deal of variety. It follows beaches, leading to secluded coves you are likely to have to yourself. There are wilderness sections that feature sand dunes and the odd bit of scrambling over rocky headlands. At times you’ll meander along gentle forestry tracks with huge karri trees towering overhead. All of this is interspersed with well-formed walking tracks.
The track passes through picturesque coastal settlements, allowing you the luxury of an occasional coffee, ice cream or cold drink.
We offer this trip during springtime so you’ll have the added bonus of masses of colourful wildflowers.
See some amazing photos of this track, as featured recently in Australian Geographic. There’s also a magnificent video of the walk.
NOTE: This trip can easily be combined with our Australia’s South West guided group trip for an extended Western Australia walking holiday.
If you can’t make it on our scheduled date or prefer to walk independently then have a look at our self guided Cape to Cape trip.
