Bibbulmun Track - 6 Days
The Bibbulmun Track from Walpole to Denmark showcases the extraordinary biodiversity of Western Australia's south coast. Towering forests of Karri, Tingle, Jarrah, and Marri trees, mist-shrouded valleys, and giant granite boulders line the route, alongside secluded coves, pristine beaches, and coastal heathland.
The track follows clifftops and forest trails with elevated vantage points like Monkey Rock, avoiding beach walking in favour of more dramatic terrain. Denmark makes a worthy addition for those with extra time, sitting at the heart of one of Australia's finest wine-growing regions.

Tucked into some of the most remote and rewarding corners of the Bibbulmun Track, five nights of en-suite accommodation span cottages, lodges and a motel along the route. Hosts here have been welcoming walkers for decades and bring a warmth to the experience that stays with you long after the walk is done. Denmark at the end of the route is one of Australia's most appealing wine-growing regions and well worth taking some time to explore before heading home.
Each morning opens with a cooked breakfast before heading out on the Bibbulmun Track, with three included throughout. Out on the trail, two walker's lunches are packed and ready, with a high-protein salad, a sandwich or wrap, a muesli bar, something sweet and fresh fruit, all carried in your own insulated lunch bag. As the day winds down, three two-course dinners draw on the best local and regional produce the area has to offer.
Please advise us of any food allergies or intolerances at the time of booking. If you have severe allergies, bringing some of your own snacks is recommended, as specialist ingredients can be harder to source along the way.
Note: Drinks and alcohol are not included with meals, with the exception of tea, coffee and juice served with breakfast.
The walk starts in Walpole and finishes in Denmark, in the south of Western Australia. Perth (PER) is the main international gateway. From Perth, a daily TransWA train and coach service departs mid-morning from East Perth Terminal, arriving in Walpole at around 4.00 to 4.30pm. Reservations are essential and can be made up to three months in advance. Those driving from Perth can reach Walpole in around 5 hours; arrangements to leave a vehicle in Walpole or Denmark can be made on request. Rex Airlines operates daily flights between Perth and Albany, from where a TransWA bus or private transfer connects to Walpole in around 1 hour 45 minutes.
The walk ends in Denmark, from where a daily TransWA coach departs mid-morning, arriving in Perth at around 6.00pm. Those who left a vehicle in Walpole can arrange a private transfer back at an additional cost. Please contact us for further details.
This walk is available throughout the year, with no fixed start days. Spring is undoubtedly the finest season, with Western Australia's famous wildflower display turning the trail into a botanical spectacle. Autumn offers mild, dry days with daytime temperatures around 20 to 25°C, ideal for long walking days. Winter is possible but brings prolonged wet spells and cooler temperatures, particularly in the southern sections. Summer is the warmest time of year on the track; early starts are essential and it is worth checking conditions carefully before setting out. Pack layers and sun protection whatever the season.
Tracks are mostly flat and well-defined, with some sandy sections underfoot. The diverse landscapes of the Bibbulmun Track make for rewarding walking throughout.
Good walking boots are recommended, and building up to around 20 kilometres comfortably in a single day, with back-to-back walking days included, is the most useful preparation. A Bibbulmun Track map and comprehensive walk notes are provided.
You must hold adequate travel insurance for your trip, including cover for personal liability and accidental injury and illness. For all trips involving international travel, your policy must also include emergency medical treatment, evacuation and repatriation cover. We strongly recommend your policy also covers trip cancellation and curtailment, and loss of or damage to luggage.
A cancellation fee usually applies if you cancel after your booking is confirmed. Travel insurance with cancellation cover will generally cover this fee, so it's worth arranging your policy at the time of booking.
Full insurance requirements are set out in our booking terms and conditions.
A detailed information pack and itinerary will be sent to you around six weeks before departure, covering everything you need to know for a seamless experience. In the meantime, our team is always on hand to answer any questions.

Auswalk organised a wonderful 10 days for us. Straightforward to follow the trail, great accommodation and helpful providers of transfers. A wonderful experience with many highlights including a close sighting of 100s of dolphins surfing on our final day.

We loved the trip and thought the track during spring with the wildflowers was magical. In terms of the guidebook -it seemed excellent to us.
Me and my partner both absolutely liked this trip and it far exceeded our expirations The walk and the wildfowers and scenery were very spectacular.
Our group has just finished a 6 day walk through the Bibbulmun Track. Auswalks organised everything brilliantly which made our job simple by just enjoying ourselves and allowing us to just enjoy the walk through amazing areas of our country. I would highly recommend Auswalks to anyone as the company were a pleasure to deal with and nothing is too much trouble to them. We will be back to do another one soon. Thank you.
No improvement needed. Most of your walks are very tempting & we know they will be well-organised! We enjoyed all the accommodation on this trip & the people doing the transfers were great too-very helpful with lots of local knowledge.
