Awe and wonder as we stand among these Red Tingle forest giants on the Bibbulmun Track! 🙏🌳🥾🐸
Our Bibbulmun Track 6-Day “Walpole Wilderness Experience” is a tailor-made, 6-day guided itinerary based at Walpole on Western Australia’s pristine south coast – a 4.5-hour drive south of Perth.
It's the perfect time of year to lace up your hiking boots and hit the Cape to Cape Track! We're off to a great start for autumn with some lovely sunny weather, mild temps and plenty of of flora and fauna to be spotted 😍😍
If you're keen to check out Western Australia's best multi-day coastal hike, we've still got some vacancies for our 8-day Guided End-to-End adventures departing during May (when the world's best surfers jet in for the Margaret River Pro).
A stunning southwest carpet python, spotted on Leeuwin Road when our ace guide and driver Colin picked up our hikers as they completed the Cape to Cape Track and reached Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse 👣✅👍🐍
“We were fortunate to spot this beauty and grab a few portraits as I ushered it off the road on the way back from the lighthouse this afternoon,” says Col.
If you’re questioning Col’s sanity right now, rest assured he’s a qualified snake catcher and handler with a deep love for these native reptiles! Great work Colin 👍🙏🤩

Nothing like capping off a long, hot day’s hiking with a scintillating plunge into the Indian Ocean!! Perfect for washing away the dust and sweat - and revitalising tired muscles for tomorrow’s day on the Cape to Cape Track!! 🥾💦
And as far as swimming options go, there are literally hundreds on the 132km length of the Cape to Cape! But right here at Yallingup, with its protected lagoon and bay, is definitely up there with our faves!! 🌈💚
Awesome footage of a cute little bearded dragon basking in the sun alongside the Cape to Cape Track!
This was shot by our head guide Colin Fox as he led a group on our 8-Day Guided End to End adventure. Nice work Foxy!

Do you reckon our guide Lucy Cartell loves her job sharing the Cape to Cape Track with visiting hikers??

What a fabulous week hiking the Cape to Cape Track! 👣👣
Here's just a few of the epic shots from last week's group of stoked hikers who joined us for the first 8-Day Guided end-to-End adventure of our autumn season!
MEET THE TEAM! Sophie Van Noordenburg - Track Guide
An enthusiast of all things nature, Sophie completed a uni degree in adventure ecotourism specialising in hiking and sea kayaking at Charles Sturt University in 2013. Ever since, she’s been living nomadically in stunning places around Australia and sharing her passion for the outdoors, food and travel.
That included ski instructing at Mt Hotham, wilderness resort hosting in Canada and managing an adventure centre on Kangaroo Island.
Soph loves helping people connect with place, self and others, while fostering appreciation and respect for the natural world.
When she’s not on the Cape to Cape Track, you’ll find Soph somewhere in nature, soaking up a sunset, enjoying a “crafternoon” or out bush in her tiny home on wheels.

There's no need to pack your passport, but did you know the ancient granite on the Cape to Cape Track is actually a piece of India that was left behind when continental plates collided more than 300 million years ago??
The granite is rippled with quartz and a whole array of other minerals and heavy metals, formed from the incredible heat and pressure of the titanic collision. Epic!
Fancy finding your own private beach on the Cape to Cape Track? This is just one of many, many hidden gems along The Margaret River Region’s epic multi-day hike!
Too good not to stop for a dip in that electric blue Indian Ocean water and some rock hopping over ancient granite. Paradise!
Super excited to be back hiking the Bibbulmun Track for our 6-Day Walpole Wilderness Experience! 🙏🪱
We’ll be seeing plenty of these bright yellow signs - the official “Bibb” track markers with the symbol of the Wagyl, a snakelike Dreamtime creature central to Noongar culture.
Did you know the Bibbulmun Track runs almost entirely through state forest, national parks and other reserves, with only a few small sections of farmland. The northern half of the track is through the jarrah forests of the Darling Range before entering the tall Karri and tingle forests until reaching the coastline near the town of Walpole, where our adventure is based. Happy hiking 🌍🐸
Yep... That pretty much sums up the feeling when it comes to reaching the very last Cape to Cape Track sign!! 124km, 7 days of hiking, countless beaches and plenty of hard yakka... but oh what a feeling!! 👊🔥
All you have to decide is whether you want to tackle the Track on one of our self-guided tours, where we look after the coastal accommodation, delicious catering, daily drop off and pick up, and all logistics.
Or whether you want to join our guided group and walk every step of the Track with our expert guides by your side, carrying just a day pack each day?
This spectacular section of coastline is known for its beautiful beach and natural rock formations.
And if you're hiking the Cape to Cape Track, this is one of the best beaches you'll come across on the 132km length of The Margaret River Region’s epic coastal hiking trail! 👣
“Our coast is so different to most places on earth. The texture is extremely special, it’s got corners, bays, points - that makes it special,” says Gene Hardy, founder of Cape To Cape Explorer Tours.
Walk the track and you'll see amazing formations and patterns in the granite which is estimated to be between 300 million and a billion years old. There's also million-year-old limestone carved into cliffs and crystal caves. Happy hiking!

Headed south, with 130-odd kilometres o go! This pic shows another group of stoked hikers joining our 8-day Guided End-to-End journey on the Cape to Cape Track. And it all starts out so civilised with this great boardwalk not far from Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse! 😀
What's to come is another story. Expansive white-sand beaches, scrambles through ancient granite, clifftop hiking on limestone bluffs, and of course walking under the canopy of Boranup Forest. The Cape to Cape really does have it all! 🌸
See www.capetocapetours.com.au if the Cape to Cape is on your bucket list! And we'll see you on the Track soon 🔥

What a superb start to our autumn hiking season with the first of our weekly 8-Day Guided End to End adventures! 👣😁
Our guides are walking with a lovely small group of hikers under sunny skies on the magical Cape to Cape Track.
We’ve loved getting to know Eva from Switzerland who has been a vollie at Bunbury Dolphin Discovery Centre for the past month.
Alex and Francis are from England and have returned to WA after experiencing Ningaloo Reef up north and vowing to return.
Jacqui is a local and lives behind Yallingup, and when she’s not hiking she cares for native orphaned possums!
Also pictured is our driver and guide Anu (4th from left) who tagged along to see our Day 1 rock star guide Andrew in action. What a team!

Check out this big guy! These beautiful coastal heath monitors are plentiful on the Cape to Cape Track, and they’re always a treat to run into! 🤩🤩
Growing up to 1.5m, they can reach a hefty size. And they’re even capable to scaling trees. Generally though they seem to prefer a snooze in the sun (often right on the Track!). Can’t blame them really ☂

Beautiful Baudin’s white-tailed black cockatoos feeding on coastal heath seeds near Boodjidup Beach on the Cape to Cape Track! 😍😍
Our guide Bree filmed this fabulous clip and she inched her way along the track, doing her best not to disturb these gregarious native birds as they tucked into a feed.
How’s that for some vibrant colour, which just pops in the bush as you walk the forested sections of the Cape to Cape Track! 🤩🤩
This beauty is a scented sun orchid, which opens its petals to the sun and closes them up tight when the clouds or rain arrive.
Look for these beauties in late spring and early summer growing under the canopy of woodland in the Margaret River region 👍
Rattlebeaks are just such a beautiful and unique orchid! And one of our faves to spot while hiking the Cape to Cape Track 👣🤩🌳✅💚
The humble pea flowers along the Cape to Cape Track provide such a gorgeous spray of colour!
These are nicknamed Egg and Bacon thanks to their brown and yellow colour scheme. Plus, they’re nitrogen-fixers, fuelling the soil food web below the ground as well as other plants nearby.
Who said hiking the Cape to Cape Track was tough? Not if you’re the ladies from Move For Mental Health!
They had plenty of time for a dance and a laugh in amongst the beach crossings, coastal scrambles, woodland paths and granite rock hopping of their 8-day guided end to end adventure. Love your work team!! 🤩😂🌳👣
Spring you’ve been incredible! #capetocapetrack
Check out our head guide Colin Fox - not only leading our team of awesome guides but with some great moves too! 🤩✅
Col had a ball with Kylianne and the fun-loving ladies from Move For Mental Health when they joined us to tackle all 132km of the Cape to Cape Track 👣
Our resident “lizard whisperer” and guide James in action making sure this beautifully-patterned heath monitor makes it safely across the road 👍
James spotted this critter on his way to pick up some Cape to Cape Track hikers at Ellensbrook.
Be sure to slow down and take care over the warmer months when our reptiles are active!
What an incredible week hiking the Cape to Cape Track with Kylianne Farrell and her team of amazing women walking for Move For Mental Health! 👣💚✅🐍
All of our staff really look forward to this week each season when the M4MH crew arrive with so much enthusiasm and fun, dance moves and hilarious videos filmed out on the track. You guys make hiking so much fun!
Stay tuned to our socials for a few more videos from the M4MH ladies 🤩

Cape to Cape Explorer Tours is an award winning, Margaret River company that specialises in providing memorable experiences on Western Australia’s premier coastal long distance hike, the Cape to Cape Track.
Cape to Cape Explorer Tours is an environmentally responsible and conscientious operator: we have hiked, surfed, fished, and foraged in this area all of our lives. Nobody knows the Cape to Cape like we do!
Cape to Cape Explorer Tours supports the Track and our community. Our guides and staff all live in the area, are professionally trained and have an intimate knowledge of the Track and the Margaret River region, not to mention a passion for walking and people.
The Cape to Cape Track stretches 135km between the lighthouses at Cape Naturaliste in the north and at Cape Leeuwin in the south – the southern lighthouse stands uniquely above two oceans, where the Indian meets the Southern Ocean.
Embedded in the Leeuwin Naturaliste National Park, the Track is a beautiful long distance walk through coastal wilderness. Wander through Western Australia’s iconic wildflowers and coastal heath, along elevated limestone ridges, across deserted beaches and rocky coves and under the karri sentinels of the hardwood forests.
Walk the full length over 5-8 days or experience the highlights. We can accomodate any way you would like to experience the Track.
