York
Your untamed adventure kicks off bright and early as we hit the road out of Perth at 5:30 am. Our first stop is York, the oldest inland town in Western Australia. Surrounded by rolling farmland and historic charm, it's the perfect spot to stretch your legs and get your caffeine fix.
Wave Rock
Next up is one of WA's most iconic geological wonders, Wave Rock. This 15-metre-high granite formation looks just like a breaking ocean wave, frozen in time for over 2.7 billion years. It's a must-snap photo op.
Fitzgerald River National Park
From here, we continue southeast through the wheatbelt, bound for the remote and biodiverse landscapes of Fitzgerald River National Park. Known for its dramatic coastal cliffs, colourful wildflowers, and over 200 plant species found nowhere else on Earth, this UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve is a dream for nature lovers
Fitzgerald River National Park
We set up camp at Four Mile Campground, where the wilderness rolls all the way to the sea. After a yummy camp dinner, settle in under the stars and breathe in the wild beauty of WA's southern coast.

BREAKFAST
Breakfast

Dinner
East Mount Barren
Start the day with a hike up East Mount Barren, a short but challenging 3 km return trail that climbs rugged quartzite slopes with a bit of scrambling near the top. The payoff? Epic views over Culham and Hamersley Inlets, the jagged Eyre Range, and nearby peaks.
Esperance
After the climb, we'll head into Esperance. A town that punches well above its weight with stunning beaches and no less than nine national parks on its doorstep. You'll have time to grab lunch, and stretch your legs before connecting to Country during a 90-minute Dabungool Cultural Experience. Join local Wudjari Nyungar mother and daughter as they guide you on a coastal walk to learn about the six seasons, bushfood and medicine plants that have sustained the Wudjari people for many thousands of years.
Cape Le Grand National Park
This afternoon, we arrive in magical Cape Le Grand National Park, where wild coastlines meet brilliant blue waters. Set up camp at Lucky Bay, a beach so white it squeaks, and often shared with friendly western grey kangaroos. As the sun dips below the horizon, enjoy a camp dinner and a front-row seat to nature's nightly show.

Cape Le Grand National Park
Start your day with sunrise on the sand at Lucky Bay, where the western grey kangaroos are often spotted bouncing along the beach in the early light, one of those only-in-Australia moments.
Frenchman's Peak
Those feeling adventurous can tackle the Frenchman Peak hike, a short but challenging Grade 5 climb. This 3 km return trail is steep, rocky, and best suited for experienced hikers who are comfortable scrambling across granite slabs and navigating uneven surfaces. If the weather's dry and the skies are clear, the payoff is massive: 360° views of aquamarine bays, bright white beaches, and the islands of the Recherche Archipelago stretched out below.
Cape Le Grand National Park
The rest of the day is yours to explore Cape Le Grand National Park, one of Australia's most biodiverse and breathtaking coastal regions. Hike bushland trails, swim in turquoise bays, relax on the sand, or take it slow and soak up the serenity. We stay another night at Lucky Bay, where another beautiful sunset and a camp-cooked dinner await.

Ravensthorpe
After breakfast, we farewell Cape Le Grand and begin our journey west. The first stop is Esperance for a coffee break, while your guide stocks up on supplies. Then, on through Ravensthorpe, a great spot for lunch and a quick look at the town's colourful silo art.
Bremer Bay
By afternoon, we roll into Bremer Bay, a peaceful coastal town known for its turquoise waters and wild beaches. Choose to stretch your legs on two scenic short walks. A gentle estuary trail with crystal-clear waters where the estuary meets sea, and a quick climb to a coastal lookout with sweeping views over the ocean. Keep an eye out for seabirds and, if you're lucky, migrating whales.
Bremer Bay
Tonight's base is Tozer's Bush Camp, a rustic hideaway tucked into native bushland just outside town. With basic facilities, bush trails, and a laid-back atmosphere, it's the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the serenity. If you're up for it, there's a 4.7 km loop walk from camp for an extra dose of nature before dinner.

Albany
We hit the road early and head west, stopping for coffee in Albany before continuing on to William Bay National Park. Home to two of WA's most iconic swim spots: Greens Pooland Elephant Rocks. With turquoise water, soft white sand, and dramatic granite boulders, this is the kind of place that makes you want to dive right in.
Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree
From here, we leave the coast behind and head into the towering karri forests of the southwest to visit the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree. Once used as a fire lookout, you can still climb partway up this 75 m giant using a spiral of metal spikes embedded in the trunk. It's not for the faint-hearted, but even reaching the lower platform gives you a taste of the canopy views and adrenaline rush
Margaret River
Tonight, we roll into Hamelin Bay Holiday Park, right on the beach. Kick back, enjoy dinner by the sea, and listen to the waves roll in
BREAKFAST
Breakfast
Margaret River
Start your day with a peaceful walk along the iconic Cape to Cape Track, where on the beach, you might be lucky enough to spot Hamelin Bay's famous stingrays gliding right up to the shoreline.
Margaret River
Next, we journey into the heart of the Margaret River region, stopping at Surfers Point, home of the world-famous Margaret River Pro surf comp. After soaking up the coastal views, enjoy free time in the Margaret River township to explore and grab lunch.
Margaret River
In the afternoon, it's time to taste what this region is best known for, wine, produce and local flavours. We'll visit two tasting venues, including one celebrated cellar door, to sample the region's finest.
Busselton
Our final stop is in Busselton, where you can stretch your legs with a walk along the historic 1.8 km jetty, and explore the vibrant Origins Market, a local hub filled with artisan goods, fresh produce, crafts and gourmet treats.
Perth
We return to Perth around 7:00 pm, wrapping up six days of wild coastlines, natural wonders, and memorable moments.

I’ve never struggled so much to pick a rating. There were a lot of good parts to this tour, but if the description were more accurate or detailed, I’m not sure I would have booked it. Pros: I very much enjoyed the long Cape-to-Cape and Hellfire Bay hikes. The first one is mostly flat, so most people can easily do it. The second one is harder. At both Mt. Trio and Lucky Bay, we had kangaroos in our camp in the morning, which was very cool. The one at Lucky Bay came into the kitchen area and stole one of our bananas! She didn’t care at all when we lightly touched her. The first night’s site was a farm with guinea pigs you can pet, which was fun. The bus was quite comfortable during the day, especially since there were only 8 of us. Green Pools and Elephant Rock were very pretty, although we spent too much time there. The forest with the tingle trees was gorgeous. I wish we could have spent more time there, even though we couldn’t climb the tree (they were doing maintenance, I think). Most of the people on my tour were very interesting, seasoned travelers, so that was great. The tour guide gave us plenty of toilet breaks and we could buy snacks at gas stations a lot. Our guide was super enthusiastic, even faced with a group of 7/8 introverts. She did her best with obviously unfamiliar situations, although she didn’t know much about the area, which was odd for a tour guide. The coast is beautiful. Cons and stuff they don’t tell you: I don’t think these will bother everyone, but you should know what you’re getting into. First, if you look up swag camping online, that’s not what you’re getting. Our “traditional Aussie swags” were filthy canvas sacks with, essentially, gym mats for mattresses (those actually worked OK) that you put your sleeping bag in. They don’t seal, so anything can get inside with you while you sleep. Nothing did, but I also sprayed the crap out of the perimeter of my swag with bug repellent every night. Unless you live in the area, you have no idea what “weather-appropriate” clothing is, so here’s mid-October: cold. It was 45-52F/7-11C at night and 60-80F/15-26C during the day, usually the colder end of that. So, bring layers and very warm nightwear. Most of us froze the first night. Realize this also means it was never warm enough to swim in the icy water at any of the stops (though one brave person jumped in at Green Pools when it was 80F). October is also fly season, so at several stops, including lunch stops, we couldn’t stop waving our hands in front of our faces for a second without the flies landing. The Castle Rock hike is a solid mile of unrelenting uphill hiking. The views are great but be prepared. The itinerary is misleading: If a town is listed, that’s where you stop for fuel and toilets. The only time you can walk around a town is if the guide needs to buy groceries. You also spend a lot more time on the bus than the itinerary says. There was no hike at Leeuwin-Naturalise. The Ngilgi cave was cool, but it had nothing to do with aboriginals; there were no didgeridoos. When they say “taste your way around…the Margaret River region,” they mean a 90-minute stop at a winery, and that’s it. There is no ocean access at the Peaceful Bay campground, so you can’t watch the sun set over the ocean, but it does have the nicest shower facilities, so yay. Day 4 is almost all driving, but that may have been because we had to backtrack 2 hours since one person’s suitcase fell out of the trailer when the door flew open mid-drive on day 3 and we didn’t realize it until we got to the campsite. Luckily, it was retrieved and intact. I'm betting they won’t let that happen again. We did the hike from Hellfire Bay to Lucky Bay instead of Frenchman’s Peak. I think that hike was an option for the afternoon, but most people can’t do both in one day. Like I said, I liked the bay-to-bay hike, so this didn't bother me. There is very little opportunity to charge your electronics. I saw exactly one light at Lucky Bay campground inside the showers: most of the toilets don’t even have them. You NEED a flashlight. Other people have commented on the bad food. It wasn't fast food for us (wraps with processed fillings, sausage sandwiches, pasta, fried rice), but it wasn't great. Considering the guide was a 23-year-old vegan, I was satisfied with it being edible. So, basically, if you understand exactly what kind of trip this is and don’t count too heavily on the itinerary, you’ll have a good time. I think it would be a lot better in the summer. In any case, it's an experience.

negative aspects: positive:
- not a very motivated tour guide who seemed to be not very competent since she had to ask for the way and figure out what we could do where
- food - fastfood only: sandwiches/wraps for lunch were ok but also burgers for dinner? i mean even on a bbq you can do so many different meals! it would've been so easy to have veggies and stuff but instead we got fast food twice every day. on our last day we had a heated lasagne bought in a shop convenience product
- tree top walk we didn't do pay extra 20 even tough it says that it is included
- in one bush camp we didn't have showers in the discription it says that you have shower facilities every day, no electricity and no phone signal
- we did a hike in stirling ranges where our tour guide sat down and chilled half way up. what if something would have happened to the guys on the top?
- we did some sting ray feeding that wasn't mentioned in the description
