“We searched the world using genuine experiences from AllTrails members and insights from our local partners to identify these remarkable destinations,” said Carly Smith, Chief Marketing Officer at AllTrails.

A scenic coastal view awaits those on walking holidays, featuring turquoise waters and a clear blue sky. Large, reddish-brown rocks and boulders grace the foreground, with a prominent rounded boulder partially submerged in the sea—a perfect snapshot along the Cape to Cape Walk.

“These once-in-a-lifetime places are designed to inspire people to plan a journey or simply step outside and explore closer to home.”

A two-story building with a wooden facade, large windows, and an outdoor patio covered with umbrellas. It's the perfect stop on your Cape to Cape Walk, surrounded by lush green grass and tall trees that enhance its serene atmosphere.

Stretching 135km from Cape Naturaliste in the north to Cape Leeuwin in the south, the Cape to Cape Track showcases some of Australia’s most spectacular coastal scenery.

This tour offers far more than walking alone. It combines breathtaking coastal views with indulgent local food and wine, as well as unforgettable experiences, including an awe-inspiring scenic helicopter flight along the dramatic coastline.

One of the highlights is day three. After a relaxed breakfast, you transfer to Moses Rock to begin the day’s walk towards Gracetown. Along the way, take in sweeping coastal panoramas from cliff-top lookouts and admire the striking granite-gneiss formations of Wilyabrup. The trail passes through low heathland and across the granite headland known as Whaleback before continuing through an enchanting stretch dotted with lichen-covered rocks and, in spring, clusters of delicate pink fairy orchids.

A plate with poached eggs on toast, topped with spinach and beans, accompanied by cherry tomatoes and sliced meat—perfect fuel for Australian Walking Holidays. In the background, a bowl of yogurt with fruit and a glass of orange juice completes this energizing meal.

After the walk, you’ll transfer to your accommodation to enjoy a superb dinner paired with local Margaret River wines, the perfect way to end a rewarding day on the trail.
