Q: WHERE IS THE THREE CAPES WALK LOCATED?
The Three Capes walk is on the Tasman Peninsula, which is located in the south-east of Tasmania. On the way to the peninsula, you will drive through some of Tasmania's rich heritage, rolling vineyards and hills. It is approximately 100 kms from CBD Hobart a travel time of about 90 minutes by vehicle.
Please Note: The official Three Capes Track route does not go to all three Capes, just two of them, we also only walk to two of the Capes. Please read the itinerary or see the Highlights for further information.
Q: WHAT IS A SELF-GUIDED WALK?
A self-guided walk is designed for walkers who prefer to be independent. Travelling self-guided allows you to walk from place to place progressing from one accommodation to the next at your own pace with who you want when you want. You can Enjoy Worry-Free Navigation with our detailed maps and route notes. We ensure that you'll easily find your way, whether you're a beginner or veteran explorer—no compass or GPS needed. The paths are signposted irregularly. However, it's a reasonably well-defined trail, so with the comprehensive notes, no technical expertise is required. Our self-guided trips offer the freedom to enjoy the splendid isolation of the trail, without the heavy weight of a pack on your back.
Q: WHAT LEVEL OF FITNESS DO YOU RECOMMEND?
We expect people to have a reasonable level of fitness. Regular physical exercise in the lead up to the trip is recommended. This can be from walking, cycling, going to the gym or a combination of these. You will walk an average of 11kms each day. Some of the walking has an up and down component, mixed in with flat and undulating sections of track. If you exercise regularly, have a moderate to good walking fitness level and feel capable of walking up to 5 to 6 hours a day, this walk is for you.
Q: HOW CHALLENGING IS THE WALK?
Most of the tracks are in first rate condition. Some of the walks include sections of walking up and down again, but this is compensated by shorter walking distances overall. Full day walks average 10-15 kms. There are great opportunities for fit walkers to challenge themselves as there is plenty of additional walking that you can take up.
Q: DO YOU HAVE AN INCENTIVE PROGRAM?
Walking with Auswalk gives you exclusive access to our incentive program. We love our Auswalkers and want to make it easy for you to return for another holiday. Here's what we offer:
a) Frequent Walker Points: Just by going on a holiday with us, you will earn 100 Frequent Walker Points which you can redeem for a $100 discount (per person) off your next Auswalk trip. These points are valid for 2 years. If you use your points on a new booking of a value greater than $2300 per person, and within 2 months of completing your previous holiday, we will double the points for you. This means that you will have 200 Frequent Walker Points to redeem as a $200 discount (per person) off your new booking. Please note: You can only use a maximum of 1 set of double points ($200) per new booking and points can't be used in conjunction with any other offer.
b) Save if your group is 5 or more with a 5% discount for all walkers. Full payment will be invoiced when booking. At the time of final payment the discount will be applied when the numbers are confirmed. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Q: DO YOU OFFER DISCOUNTS FOR PRIVATE GROUPS?
If you have a group and you wish to undertake one of our many walking holidays we can apply a discount for the following group sizes:
Groups of 5-14: 5% credit
Groups of 15+: 7.5% credit
In both instances, the group organiser receives a discount twice that of the rest of the group.
The group discount is taken off each walkers' final bill according to how many group members actually register before final payment. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer.
Q: CAN YOU CUSTOMISE THIS WALK FOR MYSELF OR FOR MY GROUP?
We specialise in customised trips. Whether it's just for yourself, or a group of 30 walkers, we are here to help you with the logistics to ensure a stress free experience. Please feel free to contact us to find out more.
Q: CAN I COMPLETE THIS SELF-GUIDED TRIP ALONE?
No, we have a duty of care that means that we can not offer any of our walks on a solo basis.
Q: DO I HAVE TO PAY A SINGLE SUPPLEMENT FEE IF I WANT A SINGLE ROOM?
Australian hotel accommodations (like the ones we use) charge the same, or just about the same price, regardless of whether there is one or two people in the room. This means that to cover the cost of the accommodation for your trip we do need to pass on a single supplement surcharge. This isn't a cost that we make any margin on and it is simply to cover the fact that the total room cost isn't being apportioned over two walkers.
Q: CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH A PERSONAL LOCATOR BEACON (EPIRB)?
If you are a solo walker we want to ensure that you are kept safe should an emergency situation arise. A fully refundable fee (upon return of the beacon) will apply. To find out more please contact our friendly team.
Q: WHO SHOULD I CONTACT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY SITUATION?
It is essential that you carry a mobile phone (or satellite phone) on this holiday. If you have any serious problems, please contact Australia's emergency services directly on phone number 000. Please contact our support people on the ground if you need assistance that doesn't require emergency services intervention. These numbers will be provided in your walk notes.
Q: IF REQUIRED WILL THERE BE SUPPORT ON THE GROUND?
We know that you need 24/7 support and safety. You definitely won't be on your own during this self-guided walking adventure. Our local partners are the best people to contact if you have an issue on the walk. They are just a call away to help out if needed, no matter where you are or what the hour is. Auswalk is also there to assist; we will monitor your progress and can be contacted. We have carefully planned every aspect of your journey, from the best walking to seamless luggage transfers that whisk your bags from accommodation to accommodation while you're out walking so that you can walk hassle and stress-free.
Q: HOW DO I GET TO AND FROM THE START OF THE WALK?
The walk starts at 8 am with a private transfer from either your Hobart Hotel or the airport. Lunch will be picked up on the way to the walk. Please be prepared and ready to walk on the first day.
At the end of the walk we will provide a private transfer back to either your Hobart Hotel or the airport. The time is flexible (default time is 3pm) and dependent on whether you would like to do an additional boat trip (at extra cost – refer below) on top of exploring Port Arthur.
Additional boat trip
This 3 hour cruise will compliment your overall experience of this region. It explores the peninsula's spectacular coastline with its rocky cliffs, eroded rock formations and many caves. Depending on the season you will see migrating whales, playful dolphins, sun-bathing seals and an of course an abundance of seabirds.
Q: CAN YOU RECOMMEND ANY PRE/POST WALK ACCOMMODATION?
There are numerous accommodations in Hobart. We suggest staying close to Salamanca Place and the waterfront. The options are vast and will depend entirely on your budget.
You may also like to visit the TripAdvisor and search for other options to best suit your budget and lifestyle.
Q: WHAT LEVEL OF ACCOMMODATION DO YOU PROVIDE?
All the accommodations have been chosen to reflect the character of the region. Accommodations will range from small local hotels to lodges; you can be assured that wherever you stay, you will be warmly welcomed. Most importantly, the accommodations are in great locations and have all the necessary facilities to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Q: CAN YOU CATER FOR SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
On our walks, we can cater for specific dietary requirements. Please kindly provide this information when completing your booking form and only provide us with a list of your allergies or those food items that you absolutely cannot eat.
Q: WILL I HAVE WI-FI ACCESS?
Wi-Fi access will be available at the accommodations along the track.
Q: HOW DO I GET ON AND OFF THE TRACK?
Some days you will walk directly out of your accommodation and or into your evening's accommodation. On the days where this isn't possible, we will provide the appropriate transfers for you on and off the track. Our transfer providers are locals and know the area you're walking in intimately. In many cases, they offer a wealth of knowledge on your destination having lived there for many years (sometimes all their life).
Q: WHAT WILL THE WEATHER BE LIKE?
See the Bureau of Meteorology for information about temperatures and rainfall ahead of time to ensure proper clothing. Spring and autumn are a great time to walk on the Tasman Peninsula. Summer can be a little warmer but with average temperatures of only 18 degrees. Winter is often written off as a time not to visit Tasmanian, let alone walk because of the rain. Layers will be your best friend in these parts. However, if you look at the mean average rainfall it isn't that much more than in summer. The average temperature in winter does, however, fall to 11 degrees so come prepared with warm clothes and good rain gear (realistically year round). See gear advice section in FAQ's for more information.
Q: WHAT WILDLIFE MAY I ENCOUNTER IN THIS REGION?
An abundance of animals and birds exist in this region. Wallabies, echidnas, wombats, pygmy, brushtail and ringtail possums, the Tasmanian bettong, long nosed potoroo, blue tongue lizards and Tasmanian devils (they are actually quite shy) to name a few.
Bird life includes Tasmanian rosellas, Tasmanian native hens and White-bellied sea eagles which breed on the peninsula.
Snakes are also most likely to be around in the summer months. They will usually move away from the sound and vibration of human activity. Did you know that Tasmania has only 3 species of snakes? Tiger, lowland copperhead and white-lipped snakes.
Q: HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO KEEP TO THE WALKING TRACKS?
By keeping to the walking track it reduces erosion, protects native vegetation and the spread of cinnamon fungus (it is a lethal disease that has serious consequences for many Australian habitats). You are also less likely to have a close encounter with snakes, ants, leeches, wasps, bees and ticks.
Q: WHAT WILL BE INCLUDED IN MY PRE-DEPARTURE PACK?
You will receive an information pack before departure, including:
• Map, Map case and luggage tag
• Insulated lunch bag, expandable lunch box, reusable cutlery and other useful bits and pieces
• Comprehensive track notes developed by and authored by Auswalk with all the detail that will be needed to walk the Great Ocean Walk
Your pre-departure pack will be mailed around 6 weeks prior to departure after full payment has been made.
Q: WHAT ARE YOUR LUGGAGE REQUIREMENTS?
You are allowed up to 23kgs of luggage, please no heavier as it may cause problems. Please also be aware that you may have to move your luggage to and from your room on some occasions, however, your luggage is transferred while you walk.
Q: WILL I NEED WATERPROOF CLOTHING?
A waterproof jacket is ideal. It serves two functions – to keep you dry and to keep the wind out. Cheaper plastic or nylon raincoats are good for keeping the rain out, but unfortunately, they do not breathe meaning that you'll still get wet from condensation and not really suitable for any walk.
By far the best jackets are made from waterproof and breathable fabrics such as Gore-Tex. These wick your body moisture through the Gore-Tex material to the outside of the jacket through one-way pores. Goretex and other similar jackets aren't cheap, but most of the quality outdoor equipment stores have sales where prices can often be reduced by substantial amounts. And they last a lifetime! Your waterproof jacket is a practical item, designed to keep you warm, dry and comfortable in the bush and warm in areas where there is a risk of being cold.
Q: WHAT CLOTHING SHOULD I PACK FOR COLD CONDITIONS?
Depending on the time of year you are visiting it can get quite cold, especially at night. A warm jumper is a must. The best material these days is polar fleece or equivalents as they are lightweight and dry very quickly if they get wet. Wool, on the other hand, is heavy and takes a long time to dry. Cotton is not appropriate. A warm hat is also desirable. Did you know that you lose 40% of your body heat through your head? So if you're feeling cold, don a hat and feel the difference.
Q: WHAT CLOTHING SHOULD I PACK FOR WALKING THROUGHOUT THE DAY?
We recommend thin synthetic materials for walking. Cotton can get damp from perspiration.
Shirts should have collars and sleeves to help prevent sunburn. Long sleeves that can be either rolled up or rolled down are a good idea. Light colours will keep you cooler. Specialist shirts have vents to allow for airflow.
Shorts are great for hot weather, but remember to use plenty of sunscreen. Long trousers are great for sun protection and also for cooler weather. Trousers that have "zip off" legs are a good compromise.
A sun hat is essential. Choose a hat with a brim all the way round as this keeps off more heat and sun than either baseball caps or soft floppy cotton hats. Good hats also come with some mesh ventilation in the middle and a chinstrap to keep it on when the wind blows. Choose a hat that packs easily into your case and daypack. Sunglasses are also essential.
Q: WHAT FOOTWEAR DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR WALKING?
Golden rule for walking boots/shoes – ensure they're the right fit, are totally comfortable and suitably dependable. If new boots/shoes, make sure you break them in before you come on holiday.
Here are some further considerations:
Boots versus walking shoes – that's largely an issue of personal preference. Walking shoes don't provide anywhere near as much ankle support as boots though.
The weight of the footwear is important. You only need something suitable for day hikes on tracks – not to climb Mt Everest in! There's an old saying that 100 grams on your feet is equivalent to 500 on your back.
The shoes should wrap around the foot with an even, snug hold over all parts of your foot. You should look for comfort across the balls of the feet. Your toes should not press together or touch the end of the boot – this is especially important for downhill walking. Your heel should not move inside the boot when you walk. And a laced up boot should not put pressure on the top of your foot or hurt your ankle.
Leather has been the long-time favourite with many walkers but these days leather is generally only used in heavier boots, which are mostly not necessary for day walks. Most light – medium-weight boots are of good quality and have synthetic uppers. These are durable but do not keep the water out. If you can pay some more, have a look at boots with a waterproof membrane such as Gore-Tex. The membrane is a very clever product built into the boot material so, though it can't be seen, it lasts for the life of the boot. Dry feet will be more comfortable, smell less, and be less likely to blister if conditions get tough.
The soles of the boots are extremely important. Look for soles that are thick enough to protect your feet against sharp rocks that might press into the sole, and with a chunky pattern that will provide better grip on slippery tracks. A Vibram sole is good quality – look for the yellow brand on the sole of the boots.
Finally, we often see people who are wearing cheap, ill-fitting, loose, sloppy socks, which is an absolute recipe for disaster! Wear socks that fit firmly. Spend that bit extra and buy socks with shaped heels and good cushioning – your feet with thank you at the end of the day! Some people like to wear one pair of socks, others prefer two pair…..it is up to you. Once again, avoid loose socks that are too big.
Q: DO YOU RECOMMEND GAITERS FOR THIS TRIP?
We don't believe gaiters are essential for this walk, however, you may decide otherwise. Gaiters are designed to keep rain, grass seeds, sand, mud, leeches and other unwanted items out of the top of your boots. They come in a full range of sizes from huge mountaineering styles through to short, lightweight ones. Most of them wrap over the boot laces, around the tops of boots and upwards over the lower part of your legs.
Sensible, practical gaiters should have some stiffness, so they will sit upright around the lower part of your legs, and not slip down. Also, they should go on and off without needing to remove your boots. Gaiters also provide useful leg & sock protection whenever there are scratchy plants over the track or grasses full of seeds.
Q: WILL I HAVE TO CARRY A HEAVY PACK?
All of our holidays are pack free experiences with all the logistics being organised for you. All your luggage will be moved for you so you won't need to carry a heavy pack. All you will need to carry with you is your day pack.
Q: WHAT IS AN IDEAL DAY PACK FOR WALKING?
The best piece of advice we can give is to make sure it's big enough! As a minimum, you need to fit in your lunch, water bottle/s, wet weather gear, warm jumper, camera and other personal bits and pieces. A larger pack weighs marginally more and costs very little extra and you're unlikely to regret it.
Well-padded shoulder straps are a must as your pack is inevitably going to feel heavier as the day goes on. Padded waist/hip belts are also very useful as they help take some of the load off your shoulders. A chest strap is available on most good packs these days and it will stop the pack from sliding around on your back whilst you bend over or walk on uneven terrain.
Several pockets or sections can also be handy, allowing you quick access to things like sunscreen, your water bottle or snacks.
Even though rain is unlikely it is worth considering this for other walks. Most packs are not waterproof, so it's always a good idea to line the pack with a heavy-duty plastic bag. You can also buy a pack cover, which does an excellent job of keeping most of the rain out.
Some daypacks have a curved back and this allows more air to circulate, a fabulous idea for comfort. Whilst other hikers have wet backs, with one of these daypacks your back will remain dry.
Q: WHAT ITEMS SHOULD I TAKE ON EACH DAY OF THE WALK?
These items are considered essential:
• Mobile phone
• First aid kit
• Day pack
• Quality waterproof jacket with a hood
• Polar fleece or jumper
• Walking shoes or boots, with good ankle support, and soles with good grips
• Walking socks
• Sunhat – we recommend one with a wide brim as you are often walking into the sun, particularly in winter
• Sunscreen (at least 15+) – bring plenty in the warmer months
• Sunglasses
• Sufficient water for the entire day. We recommend a minimum of 2 litres for each person when the weather is cool and carry more in hot weather. Generally, you cannot refill water bottles during the walks, but please read the notes in the upcoming day's itinerary before setting out to assess the likelihood of being able to refill. Many people like CamelBaks – a built-in water sack that sits snugly in your day pack. It has a tube from which you can drink. If using one of these hydration systems, it is a good idea to have a spare bottle of water in your pack, just in case you suck the CamelBak dry!
• Toilet paper – carry some for emergencies, but please bury everything.
• Handkerchiefs instead of tissues – they last longer and are much kinder on the environment.
These items are considered optional and may depend on the prevailing conditions:
• Waterproof over trousers
• Bathing suit
• Warm hat & gloves
• Camera
• Binoculars
• Fly net during warmer months
Q: WHAT BASIC ITEMS SHOULD I INCLUDE IN MY FIRST AID KIT?
• Your essential medication (for diabetes, asthma or allergies etc)
• Safety pins
• Plasters in various sizes
• Sting/insect bite relief
• Blister plasters (Compeed or similar)
• Antiseptic wipes
• Sterile dressings in various sizes
• Paracetamol/ibuprofen
• Triangular bandages
• Scissors
• Eye pad
Q: DO YOU RECOMMEND TRAVEL INSURANCE?
Please remember that it is far better to have travel insurance than not, particularly if you find yourself in the unfortunate position of having to cancel the walk. This way, you are covered.
While our Auswalk and/or service partners do all that we can to ensure that you and your possessions are safe and well-cared-for throughout your holiday, accidents can occasionally happen. It is your responsibility to ensure that any luggage being transported between accommodations along the trail is safely packed and does not contain any valuable and/or fragile items such as laptops, tablets, cameras, mobile phones or glass. Please protect yourself and your luggage and its contents with a suitable holiday insurance policy.
This insurance should also cover non-refundable costs should you have to cancel your trip due to unexpected personal circumstances.

Right from the first contact with Auswalk to the completion of our trip, we were very well informed and we had everything we needed. The accommodation and meals were amazing. Wouldn’t change a single thing! Thanks Auswalk ?
Melissa H
Our experience with Auswalk for the Three Capes Walk in Tasmania was amazing. Everything was well organised and the self-guided tour, the transfers, the accommodation and meals were first class. We would recommend their services and thank them for a very memorable and wonderful trip.
Jo A
The programme of walks worked well with a ‘rest day ‘after the long walk on day two, when we went on the boat and visited Port Arthur. These are great additions to the schedule.
Sam L
Excellent. Our driver, Damien Jones, was very friendly and informative, and the supplied lunch was much better than anticipated.. Everything was organised for us which made the experience so much better. The accommodation was brilliant and the dinners were exceptional
Richard S
Fantastic holiday. Communication was excellent throughout and Damien, who looked after all our transfers, was excellent and very informative.
Susan T
Our trip went extremely well. Due to the weather 1/2 our group did the shorter version on day 2 which was a wonderful alternative. Foods were of excellent quality and I am very keen to do the self guided Queen Charlotte with an added rest day next October. Lord Howe and Flinders island.
Lyn D
My friend and I hiked the 4 day Three Capes self guided hike in Tasmania. Auswalk organised everything from transfers from Hobart, accommodation, all meals and a marvellous young man to liaise and look after anything we required.
This was a fantastic experience that was well organised. It was terrific value and I could not rate it more highly Lyn
Sofie
It was exceptionally planned and we were thrilled with the organised days. Walking route recommendations were excellent. Great organisation, seamless communication with transport, great tracks and fabulous walking ??

Julia Pinfold
Excellent, well organised hiking tour of a beautiful location. No hassles at all.
Rob Davis
Amazingly well organised walking holiday. Would definitely recommend Auswalk to anyone considering a big hike without the hassle of carrying a pack. Loved the accommodation and restaurant meals. Would definitely book again! Thank you!
Amy O
I had a great time on the walks. Thanks!
Steven J
What a wonderful experience we had! From start to finish the walk was so well organised. The guidebook for the walk was super accurate, easy to follow and it made the day’s planning a breeze. The pickups and drop-offs were very flexible and helpful with suggestions and advice. Accommodation was first rate and the food was fantastic and plentiful. We loved every minute of our experience with Auswalk.
Michael R
Our guide Heather Henri exceeded our expectations. The Stewarts Bay lodges were excellent The restaurant staff and food was brilliant The 3 hour Pennicot Wilderness cruise was fantastic
Jane A
Amazing walk with Auswalk. All we had to do was walk each day with a day pack, everything else sorted for us. Accomodation in Port Arthur was great as was the food at the restaurant. Would recommend this walk with Auswalk.
Barbara & Ray B
We were a group of seven over seventies and we all enjoyed this walk. The accommodation and dining at Stewart’s Bay was excellent. The pick-ups each day worked well. Our whole walking experience was great. Thank you to all at Auswalk.
Christine B
Well organised trip Our notes were comprehensive Food was superb Accommodation was lovely Our transfer drivers Mick and Phil were great, so friendly and helpful
Kylie A
I thoroughly enjoyed the self guided Three Capes Walk in Tasmania. Auswalk provided great notes for preparation, perfect transportation (Mick was awesome), lovely accomodation and the restaurant meals hit just the right spot after a day of exploring. I can highly recommend the Auswalk experience.
Michael P
The self guided Three Capes walk was wonderfully organised and was everything you would hope for when wanting to walk with just a day pack knowing you can relax in the evening and draw on reliable, detailed personal knowledge from local people to flesh out the extensive written notes provided by Auswalks. Accommodation was excellent and some of the most comfortable we have experienced in these sorts of trips in Australia and internationally. We were particularly impressed by the help the AusWalks office staff gave us to rearrange the trip when COVID restrictions prevented us travelling as planned. The arrangements with the local transport people and the accomodation were seamless. An especially big thankyou to our two local drivers Phil and Mick. Full of local knowledge and anecdotes, absolutely reliable but also flexible in ways which emphasised that the trip was for our pleasure
Gail E
The walks were well chosen, as each day featured a different aspect of the peninsular topography. We had perfect weather. The meals provided by Stewart’s Bay Lodge were excellent. The accommodation was wonderful. Our transport liaison people were friendly and helpful. All in all a fabulous experience.
Sally M
We loved our adventure! The first day was a bit rushed as it was wet and we changed to Cape Rauol but it just went up from there! The scenery was spectacular, the accommodation and meals fabulous. We enjoyed being able to walk over to Port Arthur but didn’t know it closed at 5pm. The boat trip was the perfect conclusion – seeing from water level where we had walked – just amazing. My husband initially thought it didn’t sound like much of a holiday, more like a boot camp but he was absolutely converted and would like to go back. We had a wonderful time and will be very interested in doing another walk with you.
Denise G
Our group of 5 really enjoyed the Auswalk experience at 3 Capes. The accommodation at Stewarts Bay is excellent and was a very welcome destination at the end of each day’s walking. The location is beautiful and it was good to have close proximity to Port Arthur as well. Our driver was great and we felt we learned a lot about the area as well as enjoyed the beautiful walking.
Laurie & Maureen
Really enjoyed the walks, stunning scenery every day. Accommodation was first class, I miss the lodge and it’s great food, service and views. Drivers were good, informative and helpful. Would happily go with Auswalks again. This is adios, but not goodbye.
Cam M
Fantastic walk with luxurious accommodation, gourmet food and well coordinated transport. A true gem, just do it!
Dieter L
We had a magnificent time thanks! Phil our driver was outstanding, knowledgeable and good sense of humour. Despite rain and zero visibility on day one we enjoyed every day, a beautiful, stunning walk. Stewards Bay Lodge offered excellent, most friendly service and fantastic meals. We will be back!
Mike H
Excellent walk. Great and friendly service. Good accommodation and food.
Linda G
Thank you for an expertly organised trip. We enjoyed the walking challenge very much and the notes and guide books were very informative. The scenery was stunning.
Simone T
A well coordinated tour ,the booking officers were very helpful and pleasant . Transfer staff very lovely . Walks were ‘walks of a life time’ very spectacular in so many ways .and great to do the cruise at the end as the cliffs had relevance for us . Walkers need to be used to hills or willing to be challenged but the views are very special . Thankyou Auswalks it’s opened our eyes to a very special part of the world .
Penny K
So well organised and Mick ( who picked us up and took us to our walks) was really lovely. The accommodation, food, walks were fantastic and the information excellent. I would definitely want to do another walk with Auswalk. Thanks for a great holiday. Penny
Fiona R
Really enjoyed all aspects of the trip from being picked up in Hobart to our return. The accommodation and meals were excellent. The lodge staff were fun and attentive. Your transport company were exceptional. Heather, Phil and Mick truly made our holiday extra enjoyable. Would do it again.
Miriam G
We had a spectacular three days of hiking on the Tasman Peninsula including two Capes and from Waterfall Bay Lookout to Fortescue Bay. All three days had different geography which included cliff side ocean views, rain forest, bush, beaches and an incredible variety of flora. We also had sightings of wallabies, echidnas and beautiful birds. The trails were mostly extremely well groomed with just one patch of more difficult walking on large rocks and tree roots. Although we encountered other walkers there were not too many and all were on the same page of enjoying and respecting the beauty surrounding us. We were unable to do the boat ride due to torrential rain and unsafe conditions yet heard it was a fabulous experience from other hikers. We really appreciated all the supports put in place for us – a driver to the start and home from the end of each day of hiking, lovely lodges with delicious food, water views and transportation for our luggage. We did the self guided walk and found all the maps and trail markings were perfect for finding our way each day. We did our trip in early March and loved that it was a perfect temperature for hiking for hours and that we were not bothered by insects. We recommend this hike to anyone that wants a fabulous escape into a treat for all the senses. The images in our minds and depicted in our photos will bring us joy for the remainder of our lives. Thank you thank you Auswalk Team!!
Kelly K
This was a fantastic trip that my husband and I will always remember. Everything was lovely – the food, the accommodation and of course the scenery. Kimbra was a fantastic lady who cheerfully transferred us around. We would highly recommend the 3 Capes self guided walk to anyone!
