OVERVIEW
This is a selection of the best walks on Australia’s longest coastal walk the Cape to Cape. It traverses a landscape that offers a great variety of walking, including over pristine white sand of the deserted beaches that are impossible to get to other than by foot. Incredible views out over the azure blue waters of the Indian Ocean are present most of the way.
We spend more of our time north of Margaret River where the walk traverses clifftops, deserted beaches, hamlets and villages, coastal heathlands, peppermint tree woodlands and majestic Karri forests. This walk also avoids the longest days on the beach. Being located in Margaret River an area renowned for its excellent lodging and dining experiences, adds another dimension to the overall experience. Why not add a day to visit the wineries.
Springtime wildflowers in vivid violet, topaz and crimson contrast the calming blue, green and whites of the natural scenery. And in autumn and winter whales frolic off the coast readying themselves for the long swim back south to Antarctica.
You’ll have the support of our experienced team on the ground all the way. At the end of each day have a hot shower, a chef prepared dinner and breakfast and a good night’s sleep in a comfortable room with an en suite, rising refreshed and primed for each day’s fabulous pack free walking.

ACCOMMODATION & DINING
OVERVIEW
All of the accommodations are of very good quality and include fabulous resorts like the Pullman at Bunker Bay and Caves House. All of the rooms have ensuites and are located in ideal locations, allowing us to limit your travel time in a vehicle. On most days you’re conveniently walking in and out of accommodations.
The two course a la carte dinners and cooked breakfasts are all prepared by professional chefs. There is also a focus on Margaret River regional food and wine.
Each day whilst you’re walking you’ll be provided with a substantial Walkers Lunch and get to eat it at a fabulous location on the track. A Walkers Lunch is varied and may include a high protein type salad, roll or a wrap, muesli bar, cake or muffin and a piece of fruit.
Since the region is known for wine, we suggest taking a day off to visit local wineries.
Alcohol or drinks with meals are not included (except tea/coffee and juice with breakfast).
GENERAL INFO
We walk the track from south to north to avoid the prevailing weather conditions. It starts in Gnarabup, about 3350km south of Perth. You can get there by public transport.
The holiday finishes in Bunker Bay / Dunsborough. If arriving by car, we recommend leaving it at the last accommodation at the northern end of the track then catching a bus to the township of Margaret River. A transfer will be waiting for you to take to your accommodation.
The walk is moderate to challenging with some long days. Full day walks average about 22km with 5 –7.5 hours walking each day. The walking is over mostly flat well-walked paths, bush tracks and with a few sandy sections. This is a really great opportunity for fit walkers to challenge themselves. This is a beautiful area with many fabulous attractions other than the track so we highly recommend that you incorporate a rest day.
For what to bring please refer to Gear Advice on our FAQ section.
WEATHER
From March the temperature and humidity starts to drop and the walking is great. The middle of winter can be cold and wet and river crossings may be difficult. By September, springtime is in the air. This holiday is not available over the hot summer months of December to February

Hubby and I booked through Auswalks the self guided Cape to Cape walk in WA. Unfortunately day one my knee gave me grief walking in the sand, but the guys from Auswalks were fantastic. I rang them to let them know we couldn’t continue walking the trail and I could only walk on flat ground. Instead of being picked up and dropped off each day they organised a driver to pick us up and take us back to where our car was located, so we could do our own thing. We continued staying at all of the accommodation that was already pre-booked and continued with the catered food for breakfast, lunch and some dinners. All of which were excellent! We especially loved staying in Augusta and Margaret River. Generally the accommodation was in spacious self contained apartments all in great locations. The only accommodation that wasn’t spacious and self contained was one night at Caves House, we were glad it was only one night. We still managed to walk 80kms in 8 days walking some forest sections of the Cape to Cape as well as other flat trails and in this area there are no shortages of walks one can do in a day. Auswalks know their stuff, they are great with managing the whole trip from start to finish and any other requirements that’s needed, especially unplanned! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys, they are professional, organised and give great customer service.

We have just completed the Cape to Cape Walk in WA with Auswalks – self guided but very capably assisted by the team from Auswalks. What fantastic organisation they offer – every detail has obviously been carefully researched and is tried and tested. We were grateful of the Auswalks suggestion in relation to transport from Perth to Augusta (thanks Andy from Busselton & South West Rent a Car) and enjoy the variety of accommodation which was provided for us. The meals provided were great and more than we needed for each day. The booking process was made easy by our dealings with Tash and Sanyana of Auswalks and we would highly recommend booking with Auswalks again. I had organised this trip as a bit of a surprise for my sister and her husband so all was done with the required secrecy and the information packs which arrived in the mail before our walk were very detailed and well thought out. Obviously Auswalks do their homework for all their walks and we would certainly consider a future walk with Auswalks. Many thanks for your professional service …. much appreciated.

What an experience. The walk was amazing! Andy who dropped us off and picked us up was awesome. Accommodation, food and the local community were wonderful. Auswalk self guided notes were great and everything ran so smoothly. Thank you for an unbelievable walk
