Ningaloo Reef & Cape to Cape

We start our trip by picking you up from Perth CBD. From there, we’ll travel down to Yallingup to experience the best of the area, stopping for lunch on the way at a pretty beachside location. After that, we’ll have our first experience of this magnificent coast by hiking along Smiths Beach and onto Indijup 7km. We’ll then head to our accommodation near Margaret River and settle in for a home cooked dinner.

Today we hike from Gnarabup to Gracetown 16km, a fantastic stretch of the Cape to Cape track. This will include an all-important lunch stop to fuel our journey. We’ll also have time for a quick visit to local venues which may include wineries, chochalate and other venues depending on timing and season.

Today, we head south to Cape Leeuwin, the southernmost spot of the region. After breakfast, we hike south along the coast toward Cape Leeuwin lighthouse. 11km the last part of this hike follows an amazing path of rocks right on the wild coast with the elusive lighthouse looking over you. After another delicious lunch in a beautiful location, we head off on another hike. This starts on high cliffs overlooking the coast before slowly descending down to some interesting cave formations and wild beaches, where our vehicle will be waiting for you. 6km

We leave our Margaret River accommodation and head north to Cape Naturaliste, the northernmost spot of the region. We’ll hike for the morning, 5km taking in the wonderful view of the lighthouse, and have lunch at the prettiest cove in the whole area – Shelley Cove. There’s a chance of visiting Busselton Jetty (2km long!) if we have time today as well. We then transfer to Perth, ready for Ningaloo tomorrow! This night you will have chance to explore Perth cbd and eat out as you wish.

We start the morning with a walk: Moses Beach to Gracetown. We then walk Cape Naturalise to Yallingup – lots of beach walking today. If timings work out we might stop at Yallingup before we make the journey back to Perth, where we stay before our flight to Exmouth the next day. We stay at a central hotel with diner options nearby.

Today, we transfer up to Exmouth, the tropical part of this amazing trip. We will arrange airport transfers from the hotel (time varies depending on flights). we have a group check in at Perth and you can grab lunch (Perth, airport or Exmouth depending on the flight time).
Upon arrival in Exmouth we take some time to settle in before enjoying a leisurely walk and dinner.

Prepare yourself for an action-packed, multi-activity day along the coast of Ningaloo Reef. First, we’ll hike in the stunning Cape Range National Park overlooking Ningaloo Reef, (5km) where we’ll try to spot eagles and rare local wallabies. We’ll then take you to the most idyllic snorkelling spots along the coast, where you can literally snorkel straight off the beach to see all kinds of fish and turtles. We’ll top off the day by visiting the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse, the best spot to take in the tropical sunset over the reef.

More adventure today, this time returning to Ningaloo Reef with kayaks. Have a paddle in a protected bay as we kayak on gentle waters out to secret snorkelling spots, before exploring the mangroves as we paddle back in. After this adventure, we’ll enjoy a late afternoon beach-side hike (2-3km) to travel back to our accommodation.

Our final day of a seriously awesome trip. After leaving our accommodation, we’ll travel up to Cape Range National Park to take in the spectacular Charles Knife Canyon and Shothole Canyon. On this hike, (9.5km) you’ll get to experience the best lookouts the park has to offer. With this spectacular landscape fresh in our minds, we then return back to the airport for our flights to Perth that afternoon.
