Staying in the coastal hamlet of Gnarabup, this tour includes sleeping under the stars in comfortable bell tents, delicious food, lots of time for R&R, plus two fantastic adventures highlighting the Cape to Cape Track and the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.
DAYS: 3 days / 2 nights
INCLUDED ADVENTURES: Our Sunset, Forest and Cave Explorer Tour taking in a Margaret River sunset, a walk through an ancient karri forest, and exploring a magic limestone cave packed with stalactites and stalagmites. Then you'll do our Guided Walk to the magnificent Cape Mentelle, discovering the bush foods, surf story, and fascinating history of this incredible region.
WALKING DISTANCES: 2-3km
ACCOMMODATION: Two nights in a comfortable, unpowered bell tent furnished with rugs, blankets and seating, set up at the beachside hamlet of Gnarabup with access to SurfPoint's awesome kitchen facilities, multiple living areas, swimming pool, and charging points for your phone and camera.
FOOD: A tasty and locally-sourced hamper with your breakfast supplies for the trip, including cereals, yoghurt, sourdough bread, free range eggs and salad items like mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes (depending on availability and your dietary requirements); tea & coffee. You'll also receive a selection of fresh and healthy salads made with local produce, and barbecue items for you to cook your own BBQ at the campsite on your first night. Plus there is the opportunity for you to explore the Margaret River Region and find a quaint winery or relaxed brewery for lunch on both days throughout the weekend, or alternatively, the White Elephant Beach Cafe is just a short stroll along the beach and has a fantastic menu (these meals are at own cost).
PRICE: $650 per adult based on twin share. $325 per child under 16. Single supplement of $325 applies to solo travellers. Extra nights can be booked upon request.

Beginning at Cape Naturaliste in the north, the Track meanders through windswept limestone ridges, deserted white beaches, giant granite marbles, and towering Karri forest to finish up at Cape Leeuwin in the south.
The Margaret River Region is renowned internationally for stunning scenery, world-class beaches, gourmet food, and fine wines.
ITINERARY:
Day 1
Arrive in the historic coastal hamlet of Prevelly
Arrive in the afternoon and check into your comfortable canvas bell tent located at our glamping precinct set amid gardens at SurfPoint Resort at Prevelly, a stone’s throw from beautiful Gnarabup Beach. Pitched and furnished for your convenience, we provide everything you need for a unique camping experience. From rugs and doonas, to blankets and seating, your tent will be comfortably furnished so you can just relax and enjoy.
When dinnertime comes, you will have everything you need to then cook your own BBQ accompanied by fresh salads, and submerge yourselves in nature and the camping way of life. You’ll also have all the creature comforts with access to the commercial kitchen, common room with wood fire, swimming pool and hot showers at SurfPoint Resort.
Day 2
Enjoy a relaxing day and explore the true nature of Margaret River by starlight
Wake up under beautiful cream cotton canvas in luxury and comfort to the sounds of the sea nearby. There’s no need to go far, a local Breakfast Hamper (cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, tea and coffee, high quality breads, free range eggs and salad items including mushrooms, spinach and tomatoes) and cooking utensils will be provided so you can enjoy a relaxing morning settling into the slow pace of campsite life. Enjoy the beach which is only a short walk from your tent.
For lunch you have the choice of heading further afield and indulging at one of the many fantastic wineries of breweries throughout the region. If you would prefer to stay local, the White Elephant Beach Café is only a short stroll from the campsite with delicious options also available from the store if you choose.
At 5pm Cape to Cape Explorer Tours will arrive to collect you from the campsite and take you on the Sunset, Forest and Cave Explorer Tour. You will be spotting wild Western Grey Kangaroo’s grazing the planes, marvelling at giant Karri trees in the Boranup Forest, followed with watching the sunset at one of the most stunning vistas on the acclaimed Cape to Cape Track. Dusk in the doline (a collapsed chamber that forms a cave entry) is an enchanted time, with abundant forest birdlife singing out in the giant old growth Karri trees that tower over head.
Participants then have the chance to explore the underground wonderland beneath the Boranup Forest via torch light with helmet provided, while learning about the unique history and geology of an amazing limestone cave famous for its enormous wide open chambers and adventure sections.
Day 3
Hike to Cape Mentelle and learn about local history
Wake up with the knowledge that more adventures lie ahead. But first you might choose to pop down to the beach for a quick dip! After another delicious breakfast at camp, check out from your glamping bell tent. All you will need to do is collect your personal belongings and zip up the tent on the way out. At 10am, your next Cape to Cape Explorer Tours adventure begins.
It’s an easy hike with one of our expert guides out to beautiful Cape Mentelle, discovering some of the geology, flora, fauna, bush tucker and surf story of this amazing region. Next learn about Nicolas Baudin’s journey from France to Western Australia in 1800, that led to the naming of Cape Mentelle. Learn of the interesting and surprising link between this magnificent headland and the history of these French explorers. Also learn about Cape To Cape Explorer Tours director Gene Hardy’s surf sessions with Cape Mentelle and Cloudy Bay wineries founder David Hohnen out at Margaret River Main Break, when Dave spoke of ducking off to NZ to plant a few vines.
In the afternoon, you are free to explore more of Margaret River, head onto other adventures in the region, or return home.

FULL HIKING ITINERARY:
Day 1 Saturday: Walk Cape Naturaliste to Yallingup 13km
Enjoy complimentary morning pick up from Perth in Cape to Cape Explorer Tours’ transfer vehicle straight down to begin walking from Cape Naturaliste, the first section of the Cape to Cape Track begins with a gentle down hill stroll on the ‘access-for-all’ section of track to the stunning vistas of Sugar Loaf Rock. The Track then runs along an extended section of carved limestone sea cliffs before reaching the coastal hamlet of Yallingup – ‘The Place of Caves’.
Day 2 Sunday: Yallingup to Moses Rock 17km
From Yallingup pass over the granite headland at Torpedo Rock and on to the fabled Smiths Beach. After Smith’s Beach the topography changes quickly as giant granite marbles dominate near Canal Rocks. Travel high over the ridge and past Rotary Lookout, before dropping back down on to the beach at Injidup. Travel up high over the ridge, through the coastal tee tree and back onto the wild south-west facing coast. Weave through stunning areas of limestone cliff and granite before walking through the stunted vegetation and granite fields of Moses Rock.
Day 3 Monday: Moses Rock to Gracetown 13kms
The Track rises high over several large limestone headlands before flattening out on Willyabrup Beach. A wonderfully constructed staircase then guides walkers up and onto the stunning sea cliffs that form the famous climbing buttresses of Wilyabrup Cliffs. After passing the cliffs, the Track drops back down onto the beach, passing the famous, though severe, surfing breaks of Gallows and Guillotines. The coast then turns decidedly rocky as it ducks and weaves over picturesque granite boulders and finally into the pretty hamlet of Gracetown. Relax here and enjoy an afternoon swim to sooth the muscles and mind!
Day 4 Tuesday: Gracetown to Prevelly 20km
Beginning at the picturesque hamlet of Gracetown, follow the low coastline to the historic settlement of Ellensbrook. From Ellensbrook, the Track quickly leaves the coast and meanders through sand dunes and past Ellensbrook homestead and Meekadarbee Falls. Visit the isolated coves of Gnoocardup and torquoise bay of Kilcarnup. Marvel at the centuries-old osprey nest in Horseshoe Bay and then take in some of the world's finest surfing coastline at Prevelly.
Day 5 Wednesday: Prevelly Campsite to Boranup Forest 21.5km
From the limestone ridge at Prevelly head down into the sheltered creekline of Boodjidup Brook. Continue on and experience the white sands of Boodjidup before reaching historic Redgate Beach. Next is very likely one of the best sections of the Cape to Cape Track: the scenic coastal cliffs at Bob’s Hollow and Contos (although we may be biased as CCET have adopted and maintain this leg!) Enter the majestic Karri forest, home to the world’s third tallest hardwood! A longer day, but the solid track under foot and afternoon shade of the karri forest make it all seem easy!
Day 6 Thursday: Boranup Forest to Cosy Corner 20.5km
Start amongst the tall karris of Boranup Forest, home to an array of wildlife and wildflowers in season. Head south, back into the coastal heath, and down onto the stunningly beautiful Boranup Beach. 7kms of sand walking later, find the protected Hamelin Bay, home to some of the Cape’s friendliest stingrays who love a feed of freshly caught fish! Continue on past the many islands and headlands through the coastal heath and past Foul Bay lighthouse until you arrive at the stunning Cosy Corner.
Day 7 Friday: Cosy Corner to Cape Leeuwin 19km
The last leg of the Cape to Cape Track faces more into the south than the rest of the coast. True wilderness with limited road access the sights are reserved for the local hooded plovers and you. Granite headlands are broken up by long sections of shoe-sucking sand. Formidable, but every step takes you closer to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse and the moment of celebration.
Day 8 Saturday: Departure Day
9am we depart for Perth via the Margaret River Farmer’s Market in the Cape to Cape to Cape Explorer Tours bus.
DEPOSIT AND BOOKING
The itinerary will remain flexible to ensure you safely and comfortably experience the best of the Cape to Cape Track – and get everything you wish for from your holiday.

Beginning at the picturesque hamlet of Gracetown, follow the low coastline to the historic settlement of Ellensbrook. From Ellensbrook, the Track quickly leaves the coast and meanders through sand dunes and past Ellensbrook homestead and Meekadarbee Falls. Visit the isolated coves of Gnoocardup and torquoise bay of Kilcarnup. Marvel at the centuries-old osprey nest in Horseshoe Bay and then take in some of the world's finest surfing coastline at Prevelly.
Day 5 Wednesday: Prevelly Campsite to Boranup Forest 21.5km
From the limestone ridge at Prevelly head down into the sheltered creekline of Boodjidup Brook. Continue on and experience the white sands of Boodjidup before reaching historic Redgate Beach. Next is very likely one of the best sections of the Cape to Cape Track: the scenic coastal cliffs at Bob’s Hollow and Contos (although we may be biased as CCET have adopted and maintain this leg!) Enter the majestic Karri forest, home to the world’s third tallest hardwood! A longer day, but the solid track under foot and afternoon shade of the karri forest make it all seem easy
Day 6 Thursday: Boranup Forest to Cosy Corner 20.5km
Start amongst the tall karris of Boranup Forest, home to an array of wildlife and wildflowers in season. Head south, back into the coastal heath, and down onto the stunningly beautiful Boranup Beach. 7kms of sand walking later, find the protected Hamelin Bay, home to some of the Cape’s friendliest stingrays who love a feed of freshly caught fish! Continue on past the many islands and headlands through the coastal heath and past Foul Bay lighthouse until you arrive at the stunning Cosy Corner.
Day 7 Friday: Cosy Corner to Cape Leeuwin 19km
The last leg of the Cape to Cape Track faces more into the south than the rest of the coast. True wilderness with limited road access the sights are reserved for the local hooded plovers and you. Granite headlands are broken up by long sections of shoe-sucking sand. Formidable, but every step takes you closer to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse and the moment of celebration.

9am we depart for Perth via the Margaret River Farmer’s Market in the Cape to Cape to Cape Explorer Tours bus.

FULL HIKING ITINERARY:
Day 1 Saturday: Walk Cape Naturaliste to Yallingup 13km
Enjoy complimentary morning pick up from Perth in Cape to Cape Explorer Tours’ transfer vehicle straight down to begin walking from Cape Naturaliste, the first section of the Cape to Cape Track begins with a gentle down hill stroll on the ‘access-for-all’ section of track to the stunning vistas of Sugar Loaf Rock. The Track then runs along an extended section of carved limestone sea cliffs before reaching the coastal hamlet of Yallingup – ‘The Place of Caves’.
Day 2 Sunday: Yallingup to Moses Rock 17km
From Yallingup pass over the granite headland at Torpedo Rock and on to the fabled Smiths Beach. After Smith’s Beach the topography changes quickly as giant granite marbles dominate near Canal Rocks. Travel high over the ridge and past Rotary Lookout, before dropping back down on to the beach at Injidup. Travel up high over the ridge, through the coastal tee tree and back onto the wild south-west facing coast. Weave through stunning areas of limestone cliff and granite before walking through the stunted vegetation and granite fields of Moses Rock.
Day 3 Monday: Moses Rock to Gracetown 13kms
The Track rises high over several large limestone headlands before flattening out on Willyabrup Beach. A wonderfully constructed staircase then guides walkers up and onto the stunning sea cliffs that form the famous climbing buttresses of Wilyabrup Cliffs. After passing the cliffs, the Track drops back down onto the beach, passing the famous, though severe, surfing breaks of Gallows and Guillotines. The coast then turns decidedly rocky as it ducks and weaves over picturesque granite boulders and finally into the pretty hamlet of Gracetown. Relax here and enjoy an afternoon swim to sooth the muscles and mind!
