Bibbulmun Track - 6 Days

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.

Your luggage travels ahead to each night's accommodation while you carry only a light daypack on the trail. It's a genuinely pack-free walk, so there's nothing weighing you down between the giant tingle forest and the coastal heathland, just your camera, water and whatever you need close at hand.

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.
