Cape To Cape Self Guided Walking Tour

1 2 3

Cape to Cape self-guided walking tours are a great way to explore the stunning coastline and wilderness of Western Australia’s Margaret River region. With Stay Margaret River as your base, you’ll be able to enjoy comfortable accommodation each night and dinner available at the Willow Grill.

Your Self Guided Walking Tour includes:

Packed lunch: Your packed lunch includes sandwiches, fruit, snacks, and water. The exact contents may vary, but it should be enough to keep you fuelled for your day of hiking.
Self-guided: Unlike a guided tour, a self-guided tour means that you will be responsible for navigating the trail on your own. However, you’ll be given detailed maps and instructions. You’ll also have you own copy of “Cape To Cape Track” by Jane Scott & Ray Forma.
Cape to Cape track: The Cape to Cape track is a 135km trail that runs along the coastline from Cape Naturaliste in the north to Cape Leeuwin in the south. You can choose to walk the entire trail over several days, or you can select shorter sections to explore. Below is a breakdown of all 7 days on the track.
Shuttle Service: Every morning, Jye and his team from The Margaret River Experience will meet you at the finishing point of your hike for the day, where you can leave your car. We then deliver you to the start of the leg you’ve chosen for the day, so your car is waiting for you when you come off the track.
Accommodations: Enjoy a hot shower and a warm bed in our Queen rooms at the end of every day.
Dinner at Willow Grill: To save you going out after a long day, Willow Grill is available and offers a range of dining options, so order some room service or relax in the lounge for dinner.

Overall, a Cape to Cape self-guided walking tour with breakfast, a packed lunch and accommodation is a great way to explore the natural beauty of Western Australia while enjoying comfortable accommodation and delicious meals.

Day 1
Cape Naturaliste to Yallingup
14km

Today’s walk on the Cape to Cape track is relatively easy, mostly cliff-top and beach walking. Keep an eye out for dolphins!
Day 2
Yallingup to Moses Rock
18km (or 10km option)

Some beach walking in the morning and superb coastal views all day. The red granite boulders, white sand beaches, and turquoise waters can be beautiful.

You can have lunch at the surfing Mecca, Injidup, visit Quinninup Falls, and finish with ocean views at Moses Rock.
Day 3
Moses Rock to Gracetown
16km

This is a great day and relatively easy – although there are a few hills and some sandy patches. The magnificent sweeping coast views from cliff-top vantage points and the towering red rocks of Willyabrup are two of many highlights.

If the weather’s nice, enjoy a refreshing swim in the sheltered bay at Gracetown. Or soak those feet as you reflect on another great day on the Cape to Cape track.
Day 4
Gracetown to Margaret River mouth
18km (or 12km option)

Walking among coastal heath to Ellensbrook historic homestead, where you can explore the grounds, is fairly easy. The track then takes an inland route, which gives you a good appreciation of the landscape away from the ocean for a while.

After lunch, you’re back on the coast, and an enjoyable beach walk takes you to Cape Mentelle. You finish the day at the Margaret River mouth – a good place for a swim if it’s warm.
Day 5
River mouth to Boranup Forest
25km (or 14km option)

A very varied day today! You’ll head inland again and enjoy morning tea beside the Boodjidup Brook. A beach walk takes you to Redgate for lunch, and then a spectacular stretch of cliff-top walking sees you reach shady Contos Campground by afternoon tea.

The final part of the day is through the calm, peaceful forest on firm, easy tracks. It’s a fantastic end to a beautiful day on the Cape to Cape track. Despite the distance, today is not usually considered the most difficult.
Day 6
Boranup Forest to Cosy Corner
21km (or 14km option)

This morning you continue through the karri forest before making your way down to the aqua-blue waters of Hamelin Bay. This 6 km beach stretch can be delightful with the right mindset. Enjoy the peace, the view, and the moment as you walk into Hamelin Bay for a picnic lunch.

After lunch, it’s a short but challenging hike up to the tiny Foul Bay Lighthouse, with sweeping views along the coast. Then before you know it, you’ll reach the end of another beautiful day.
Day 7
Cosy Corner to Cape Leeuwin
21km

This can be an exciting last day, especially if it’s windy! Much of the walking is along a limestone ledge close to the sea, complete with blowholes!

There is a long beach stretch where you can daydream about everything you’ve achieved this week. After that, you head inland, occasionally sighting the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse, signalling the end of your walk. Your Cape to Cape track ‘end to end’ journey officially finishes at the Cape Leeuwin waterwheel, but we suggest you take a walk up to the lighthouse if time permits.
Day 8
Return home
Enjoy a sleep-in and a leisurely breakfast, then walk into Margaret River for a spot of shopping.
