GENERAL INFO
The walking is moderate to challenging (not moderate as the graph says because of the sand) but done at a pace that suits everyone. Walks consist of mostly coastal tracks with some bushland 4WD tracks and sections of beach. On average, we walk 21 km per day, with longer days reaching distances of up to 24 km. This is a rewarding expeditionary hike and at 135kms, making it Australia’s longest coastal walk.
Two professional and experienced guides, knowledgeable of the area and its natural surroundings can offer easier and more challenging walk options along the way.
Pre and post-tour accommodation: There are many good hotels in Perth, however, we pick up and drop off from one hotel, the DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront, 1 Barrack Square, Perth. The tour starts at 8:00 am at the DoubleTree by Hilton Perth Waterfront. We arrive back in Perth at approximately 7.30 pm on the last day.

The entire walk went extremely well and very convenient. The driver was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and helpful.

This walk was life changing for me. I decided to do the walk solo and was so glad I chose this as I had to make decisions on my own. Was the most challenging experience I’ve ever had – both mentally and physically.
Pandora C
It was extremely well planned and thought out and we would not have done the walk any other way. Everything went extremely smooth.

Our family of four had a fantastic time on the Cape to Cape walk. It was just the right amount of challenge. Auswalk were excellent in arranging all of the little details so we didn’t have to worry about food, accommodation, transport or our luggage. The GPS on the app was invaluable.
Sally M
Our group got to walk together for most of the day each day. The app is fantastic and made the walk easy and stress free. Accommodation and meals were great and we enjoyed seeing different areas of Margaret River.
Kirsty G
A great walk in a beautiful part of Aus – hard in sections but lots of flexibility to change the distances with taxi or slight change to transfer times. Absolutely loved it!
Jeanette B
We have done many many walking holidays. This was one of the best, walking holidays we have ever done. The Western Australian coastline and beaches between Cape Leeuwin and Capte Naturaliste are spectacular and the walking strenuous enough to justify the great food and wine we consumed along the way. The accommodation, organisation and navigational tools were all of a high standard. The various support crew that moved our bags were professional, friendly and unfailingly helpful. It was a fabulous holiday and we will certainly be booking further trips through Auswalks.
Kirstin R
The whole process was incredibly well put together. The app was great. A really special shout out to the transfer drivers (Cy, Jye, Shane) who were just fantastic, they checked in on me to make sure everything was going okay and I really appreciated that.

I have just completed the 8 Day Cape to Cape Walk in Western Australia. I recommend this walk with Auswalk as the itinerary is well thought out, food and accommodation were great and our guides Katie and Georgie are brilliant at everything they undertake. Being my second Auswalk walk I expected a high standard. I was not disappointed and all aspects met or exceeded my expectations. The walk provides a huge variety of scenery, fauna and flora. I thoroughly recommend it.
Mark J
It was very seamless. We would highly recommend the Cape to Cape hike with AusWalk. We found AusWalk staff to be very professional.
Robyn B
This is my second Auswalk trip and once again was thoroughly enjoyed. Katie and Georgie were our guides and they went above and beyond to ensure everyone was informed about what was involved for the hike of the day and the available options to meet individual hiking abilities. Food and accommodation was superb and the whole experience met my expectations. Would be happy to do another hike with Auswalks.
Robyn M
Our Auswalks trek was very well organised – everything went as planned. Accommodation and food were excellent.
Markus W
Very well organized from A to Z. Every email was promptly addressed and answered, all our requests were followed up. Nothing was too much trouble, if we go walks again, we certainly will be looking at Auswalk first.
Leanne Mooney
I was a bit nervous about being able to do this walk and through the great care, good sense of humour and encouragement of Georgie and Katie, my favourite guides ever, I was able to achieve my dream of walking the Cape to cape in WA. It is the best thing I have ever done in my life and I hope to do many more walks with Auswalks. Many thanks. A trip of a lifetime. I highly recommend this walk.

We just finished the 8 day Cape to Cape walk in Western Australia as a group of 9. It was a wonderful experience. The organising was excellent, the accommodation really lovely and the food amazing. We did a rest day on day 7 and had a wonderful (long) wine tasting and lunch at Howard’s Park in the Margaret River – a fabulous experience too but not a lot of steps that day!We would definitely recommend AusWalk.

“We did the Cape-to-Cape Track from south to north (Augusta to Bunker Bay) with Auswalk. We had a great time, good weather.
Julie A
For the first time, my husband and I decided to embark on a walking holiday. We weren’t sure if we would enjoy it.From beginning to end the whole trip was meticulously organised by Auswalk, we didn’t have to worry about a thing, they certainly paid great attention to every detail from the pick up to the drop off. The accomodation was varied. We stayed in 3 places, the first night average and subsequent nights excellent. The walking was at times challenging which created a cohesiveness within the group. The guides were encouraging and enormously attentive with great knowledge and enthusiasm. If you’ve never been on a walking holiday and even if you have we definitely recommend Auswalk.

I’ve just returned home after completing the Auswalk self-guided Cape to Cape walk in WA. It was amazing!!! The walk itself is brilliant – while long (135kms over 7 days of walking) it was not too challenging and the coastal views, magnificently coloured waters, wild beaches… loved it all! And Auswalk organised it all magnificently. While we felt ‘alone’, it was great to know that someone was ‘keeping an eye’ on us, and that at the end of each day transport was waiting for us to take us to, or we walked directly into, extremely comfortable and welcoming accommodation. Food along the way was excellent too! This was my second self-guided walk with Auswalk; I am already planning my next one! I highly recommend this extremely helpful, reliable and personable company: I wouldn’t consider another company after the two great experiences I’ve had with them.
Meredith V
We did the 8 day option in November (including a rest day in Margaret River- highly recommended!). We were very lucky to have loads of wildflowers still blooming and pretty good weather – 2 hot days, 2 days with a bit of rain and wind. The walking is beautiful and achievable despite some soft sand beaches that are tough. The organisation by Auswalk is top notch, accommodation and food very good to excellent. An all round excellent holiday

Recently completed the Cape to Cape walk in Western Australia with Auswalk. Over 8 days we walked 135km. 2 Guides assisted the group of 19 people of varying levels of fitness. This was my first real hike and I totally enjoyed the walk and was very happy with the guides who were always ready to assist in any way to ensure the walk was a success for everyone. They even arranged a fun evening the last night handing out fun awards.
Jennifer K
We walked the Cape to Cape with Auswalk. Terrific personalized support; seamless, transparent logistics with lovely people who have a trusting relationship with Auswalk; great accommodation and excellent food. Can’t say enough, will do as many more as my legs will allow!

Auswalk helped make this walk unforgettable. The accommodation was first class. It is a great way to see WA coast
Lesley C
Our holidays always involve walking and as we are getting older we want to do it comfortably. Having done two walks with Auswalk ( Cape to Cape and Blue Mtns) we are happy to say they compare well with the best of the similar UK walking holidays . If anything accommodation better! The weather definitely is!Booking online was a delight with quick responses with one person. We value the self guided option – walking notes were good and up to date, hosts friendly and accommodating.

AUSWALKS is a great walking company. I recently completed Cape to Cape inWestern Australia. It was a wonderful holiday. this company runs like a well oiled machine and always at the heart of their administration is the care and welfare of their walkers. There were 16 walkers in a group … In a very short time we had a great connection. Food and accommodation was great and the coast scenery breath taking. Well done!

Last October my husband and I joined others on the Great Ocean Walk organized by Auswalk. Every aspect of the trip, from initial inquiries to final steps, were superb. Since we live in the U.S. and had never walked in Australia, we count ourselves lucky to have found Auswalk. We had wonderful guides and the walk, itself, was as beautiful as predicted.

We did the unguided cape to cape in WA just after Easter – group of 4. The trip notes were well detailed and very comprehensive. Accommodation was of a high standard and provided meals were excellent. The scenery was so diverse, magnificent coastal views every day and we met a lot of friendly people along the daily treks. We took the option of a rest day at day 7 and spent the day in Margaret River, visiting the caves and Voyager winery for a fabulous lunch. Body was tired, so the rest day was welcomed and revived us for the rest of the walk. Would highly recommend Auswalks – they looked after every detail.

The Great Ocean Walk is iconic for a reason – the scenery is ever changing and spectacular. The countryside was full of surprises each day and there was massive variety along the walk, always on well marked tracks. Very few people so a real wilderness experience.The Auswalk guides were fantastic, professional, great fun, experienced and extremely knowledgable and passionate about the area. Everyone was encouraged to walk at their own pace, and if needed there was a ‘pull out’ point each day. There was plenty of info along the way without being intrusive.The meals at restaurants, and those prepared by the guides, were all superb and the accomodation was great – hot showers and comfortable beds were very welcome each night. Staying at the Cape Otway Lighthouse was a highlight!Fabulous experience – thoroughly recommended Auswalk and I will walk with them again!
