The Bibbulmun Track is a popular Western Australia walking opportunity which explores the magnificent National Parks, Karri forests and pristine coastlines of the state's magnificent southern wilderness. This wonderful section of the Bibbulmun Track between Walpole and Denmark is possibly the most scenic and varied section of the whole track. The walk takes in majestic forests, deserted beaches, magnificent bays and spectacular coastal cliffs. You'll visit the Valley of the Giants in Walpole and see the beautiful rock formations and tranquil waters of Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks near Denmark, and many sights between. The hills and some beach sand sections can add to the challenge of the walk but overall people with good fitness can join this trip. The beauty and variety of the walk make the effort all worthwhile. Each night, we return to our accommodation in Denmark, where you can put your feet up and enjoy the hospitality. For the full Bibbulmun experience combine this trip with our 7 day walk from Albany to Denmark which departs before this trip.

Itinerary

Expand all | Collapse all

Day 1
Drive Perth to Walpole and a short walk (5km)

Depart Perth CBD at 7.45am (from the Tourist Coach Stand at 37 Beaufort Street, near the corner of James Street). We will stop for morning tea and lunch on the way to Walpole. Starting from the centre of town, we just have a short walk planned for the afternoon, as a good chance to stretch the legs after the long bus ride. We will then settle in Walpole for the next four nights our accommodation where you can enjoy a glass of wine. Walking distance: 5km

Meals: L,D

Day 2
South Coast Highway to Box Hall (18km)

A heart-starting ascent to start the day, up to Hilltop Lookout and the Giant Tingle Tree will rewards us with great views and amazing tingle trees, our constant companions for the rest of the day. The forest walk has a few ups and downs, but is mostly moderate. Walking distance: 18 km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 3
Box Hall Road to Ficifolia Road (19km)

We will spend the morning in the forest, before we start making our way out towards the coast. Watch as the environment changes as we head down the hill towards the beckoning ocean. We will fall short of the ocean today, leaving it for tomorrow. Walking distance: 19 km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 4
Ficifolia Road to Peaceful Bay (20km)

A fabulous day! We will soon be getting glimpses of the ocean, and should arrive at Conspicuous Beach around morning tea time. From here, we will head up, and up, and up! towards the Rame head campsite. For the rest of the day, we are mostly close to the coast, and we will finish at Peaceful Bay which is an excellent swimming beach if the weather is warm. Walking distance: 20 km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 5
Peaceful Bay to Boat Harbour (21km)

It’s a long but interesting day today. Vegetated dunes and an enchanting peppermint woodland bring us to the Irwin Inlet – where we get in the (very stable) canoes provided and paddle across. After crossing the inlet we walk through the Showgrounds, comprising grassy (and hence firm!) rolling dunes. A challenging walk, with spectacular inland and coastal views, brings us to Boat Harbour – a fantastic bay that may tempt you into its tranquil waters. Walking distance: 21 km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 6
Boat Harbour to William Bay (20km)

A wonderful walk along cliff-tops this morning gives us amazing views along the coast. After reaching Pt Hillier we descend to Parry’s Beach, a good spot for lunch. Then it’s an 8km walk along Mazzoletti Beach – but it’s usually firm! That takes us to the delightful William Bay with Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks. Enjoy a swim or just soak your feet in what has to be one of the most scenic bays in Western Australia. Walking distance: 20km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 7
William Bay to outskirts of Denmark (18km)

A strenuous but thrilling final day! First, we ascend Tower Hill and encounter some amazing granite boulders. Then it’s more ups and down through orchid country to Lights Beach. After a break at Lights Beach we have the walk up Mt Hallowell, with beautiful boulder formations and spectacular views over the Denmark area and coast. Thereafter it’s a slow descent to the inlet and an easy walk along it – right back to our home for the week at The Cove! This evening we’ll celebrate your wonderful achievement together! Walking distance: 18km

Meals: B,L,D

Day 8
Drive Denmark to Perth (3km)

We will have just a short 1 hour walk this morning, to complete this wonderful walk. Grab a coffee and some take away lunch in Denmark (own expense) and we’ll stop for lunch on the way home. We plan to be back in Perth by about 4 pm. Walking distance: 3km

Meals: B
