We just finished the 10 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. Our hosts along the way were great (special thanks to Andrea and Eion in Augusta) and to Andy from Busselton & South West Rent a Car for getting us to the beginning and taking us back and looking after us and our luggage along the way. 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 woudl definitely recommend AusWalks to do self guided walks with no fuss!

“We did the Cape-to-Cape Track from south to north (Augusta to Bunker Bay) with Auswalk. We had a great time, good weather and two absolutely fantastic local drivers (Andrea and Andy) for pick-ups and drop-offs. Auswalk’s arrangements for accommodation in local high-end hotels and restaurants were all honoured: they were expecting us and never turned us away at the end of a 25-km day. The many pages of impeccable written information and instructions also worked out very well for the most part; only once in a while did they fail to get us off a sandy beach.
Having said all that, and although we live in notoriously expensive Switzerland, we did wonder why Auswalk had to make arrangements with such expensive hotels and restaurants. In Switzerland, after a day of hiking, we prefer to stay and eat in a mid-price accommodation with other hikers, rather than in places where the other guests have spent the day playing golf or driving around wine-tasting.
We appreciate Auswalk’s work in making our long-distance walk a success (except for the plastic sandwich boxes, etc.), but we would appreciate it even more (and award 5 stars) if there was a more reasonable self-catering or mid-price hotel option and thus a lower overall price for the holiday.”

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.

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.

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

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!
