We enjoy our first walk on the Cape to Cape Track from Smiths Beach to Injidup Spa Retreat, with lunch and a swim in a secluded bay along the way. You will then have free time to enjoy your private plunge pool at your villa or a swim at Injulup Beach before your sunset drinks on the clifftop overlooking the Indian Ocean. Tonight you will enjoy a casual dinner with local wines in your villa tonight.

Meals:  L,D

After enjoying a gourmet breakfast hamper in your villa you will transfer to Cape Naturaliste to commence walking for the morning. Today's walk takes in the stunning coastline between Cape Natuarliste to Yallingup with a gourmet lunch hamper to enjoy on the track. While walking we will pass famous surf-breaks on this mostly clifftop walk. Sugarloaf Rock is a highlight of today, jutting from the ocean this granite rock formation is visible in the distance for much of the Cape to Cape walk. At 3.00pm you will transfer from Yallingup back to your accommodation to enjoy another free afternoon to relax in your villa or indulge with a massage treatment at Injidup Spa. This evening we will have a wonderful private chef dinner and hosted wine tastings in the lounge. The chef will showcase local produce to the group, over a 3 course dinner, while you sample wines from a leading Margaret River winery.

After enjoying your gourmet breakfast hamper in your villa you will transfer to Redgate Beach where you will commence the stunning walk to Boranup Karri Forest with a gourmet lunch hamper to enjoy on the track. You will be dwarfed by the karri trees and marvel at the jaw-dropping views from the clifftop above pristine Contos beach, and enjoy lunch in the forest today. Later, you will be transferred to a Margaret River vineyard for a tasting with the owner, before dinner at an acclaimed local restaurant.

Meals:  B,L,D

This morning your walk is a gentle 3 hours from Moses Rock to Willyabrup sea cliffs. Witness the powerful Indian Ocean waves crashing into the granite cliffs, and the turquoise hues standing out against the orange rocks. Standing on top of the cliffs you’ll have 180 degree views of the coastline and a wonderful sense of achievement at the distance you’ve covered. After, it’s time for a celebratory lunch at founding Margaret River winery, Vasse Felix. Enjoy four courses with premium wine matches overlooking the vines and enjoy browsing the onsite gallery and cellar door before your transfer to Perth (or back to your car at Injidup for self-drivers).

There is no such thing as an ‘easy day’ on the Cape to Cape walk. There are a lot of ups and downs, with some stretches on sand/beach. However, the walk has been designed to make it achievable to those of reasonable fitness by the fact that you only carry a daypack; and you start with a short distance on the first, before three longer days. You will be surprised just how your fitness improves over the four days. A positive mental attitude is most important and that if you focus on the scenery, the company and the moment, not on the kilometres, then you find yourself reaching your destination with little problem. If you have done some training prior to the walk you will enjoy it all the more. The best way to prepare physically for the trip is to walk, walk and walk some more – preferably in sand and over a variety of terrain. You should walk frequently with a day pack in the lead up to your trip. By the start of our Cape to Cape you should be able to comfortably walk up to 15km. However, walking small distances frequently helps a lot. For instance, walking 3km four times a week, and 5km once a week, is a great help. And start walking in the shoes you will wear on the walk now!

Frequently Asked Questions

In recent years we are seeing the warm weather lasting into June, which means our Signature Cape to Cape Walk – which operates in March to June and September to November - is timed to give you the best chance of hiking in good conditions avoiding the peak holiday and bush fire season.

If you like calm fine days with light winds we recommend hiking the Cape to Cape in Autumn or early June (March-June), which is generally less windy than Spring. If you want to enjoy whale watching from the clifftops as you walk, or to see the wildflowers which carpet the Cape to Cape Track in mid-late Spring, then September October and November are the best months for you.

There is no such thing as an ‘easy day’ on the Cape to Cape walk. There are a lot of ups and downs, often in sand, and there are several beach stretches. However, the walk has been designed to make it achievable to those of reasonable fitness by the fact that you only carry a daypack; and you start with short distances, working your way up to longer days.

The best way to prepare physically for the trip is to walk, walk and walk some more – preferably in sand and over a variety of terrain. You should walk frequently with a day pack in the lead up to your trip. By the start of our Cape to Cape you should be able to comfortably walk 15km, and try to include a few 20km walks in your training. However, walking small distances frequently helps a lot. For instance, walking 3km four times a week, and 5km once a week, is a great help. And start walking in the shoes you will wear on the walk now!
