Adventurous Women ® ™ are delighted to be teaming up with Inspiration Outdoors once again, to provide a Women Only "end-to-end" walk, on Western Australia's iconic Cape to Cape Track.
This is not just a walk....it's an experience like no other. Breathtaking views, great company, friendly and knowledgeable guides, a little indulgence mixed with a little adventure and as always, lots of laughs.
The tour is 8 days, with a total of 7 days walking - you will complete the full Cape to Cape "end-to-end", walking approximately 20km/day, with the total distance being 135km. Cape to Cape is a challenging walk, made very achievable though, by carrying only a day pack and returning each evening to comfortable accommodation, a hot shower, glass of wine and a great meal! Big Bonus is that we only have to unpack once!!

Today’s walk on the Cape to Cape track is relatively easy with mostly cliff-top and some beach walking. Keep an eye out for dolphins!

Some beach walking in the morning and superb coastal views all day. The red granite boulders, white sand beaches and turquoise waters are a stunning sight to be seen!
We’ll have lunch at the surfing Mecca, Injidup, visit Quinninup Falls and finish with ocean views at Moses Rock.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region
This is a great day, and relatively easy – although there are a few hills and some sandy patches. The magnificent sweeping views of the coast from cliff-top vantage points, and the towering red rocks of Willyabrup are two of many highlights.
If the weather’s nice, you might enjoy a refreshing swim in the sheltered bay at Gracetown, or just soak those feet as you reflect on another great day on the Cape to Cape track.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region
It’s fairly easy walking among coastal heath to Ellensbrook historic homestead, where you can enjoy morning tea and explore the grounds. The track then takes an inland route, which gives us a good appreciation of the landscape away from the ocean for a while.
After lunch we’re back on the coast, and a very pleasant beach walk takes us to Cape Mentelle. We finish the day at the Margaret River mouth – another good place for a swim if it’s warm.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region
A very varied day today! We’ll head inland again to start with, and enjoy morning tea beside the Boodjidup Brook. A beach walk takes us to Redgate for lunch and then a spectacular stretch of cliff-top walking sees us reach shady Contos Campground by afternoon tea.
The final part of the day is through the cool peaceful forest on firm, easy tracks. It’s a wonderful end to a wonderful day on the Cape to Cape track. Despite the distance, today is not usually considered the most difficult.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region
This morning we continue through the karri forest before making our way down to the aqua-blue waters of Hamelin Bay. This 6 km beach stretch can be very enjoyable, 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 back along the coast. Then before you know it, you’ll reach the end of another beautiful day.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region
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 all that you’ve achieved this week. After that we 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’ll take a walk up to the lighthouse, if time permits. Tonight we will celebrate your wonderful achievement!
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Accommodation: The Break, in the Margaret River Region

Absolutely sensational! Had THE best time, ticks all the boxes! Elijah and Remy were simply excellent, totally professional, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful - could not ask for better hosts. This trip was absolutely awesome, a fabulous group of ladies and to top it all off, snorkelling with whale sharks and manta rays in a mating frenzy… wow!
Awesome trip away as usual..the food was great! thank you to catering for my food intolerances. The two Sue's were awesome..so caring and made sure everyone felt included and safe. The area we walked in was sooooo beautiful, every day was different and it was so great to be out in nature even when it rained 😜
Pemberton to Northcliffe was my first trip with Adventurous Women and will certainly not be my last. Everything about this trip was exceptional and reflected the work of an amazing and very experienced team who are all totally devoted to ensuring that each participant has an amazing experience. Sue O and Jazzy are two amazing and inspirational ladies who have extensive knowledge of the track and are so willing to share their expertise with you. This amazing team are a shining example of excellent team work and the delivery of exceptional service with a very 'can do attitude'. Felt very safe in their company and knew that they genuinely wanted us all to have a fun, safe and enjoyable trip and that was achieved at every step of the journey. Food was exceptional and in plentiful supply and very suited to the needs of hungry walkers. An overall amazing experience with an an outstanding organisation and with fellow walkers.
This was my first multi day hike and I am hooked! I learned so much about hiking and I learned a lot about my ability as well. All the ladies were fun, friendly and supportive of each other, great camaraderie and our guides - well they are hiking angels who made our weekend the aboslute best.
Another fabulous AW trip. I come hiking with AW for a Mum vacation. I feel cared for by the fact all the logistics are taken care of, time in nature and with like minded people. Guides who create a positive experience for all. I enjoy the personal challenge that each walk offers.
Every aspect of the trip as always is considered and planned out to maximise enjoyment, ( including the epic cooking).
This was an amazing adventure. The organisation was flawless and Sue provided us all with an empowering, once in a lifetime experience. All services Adventurous Women selected as part of this package were top quality, with supportive and encouraging guides. I thoroughly recommend this trip and any adventure that Sue pts together.

What an amazing experience! The landscape is breath-taking. Very special thanks to our guides, Sarah & Mandy. Our safety was paramount with them plus ensuring we had an extraordinary adventure. An AW trip to be recommended.
