Welcome to Western Australia …. Today we leave Perth at 7.30am and take a leisurely drive towards Margaret River, a region not only famous for producing some of the best wines in the world, but boasting some of the best coastal scenery in the South West! We drive to Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse and take a leisurely 3.7km stroll to picturesque Sugarloaf Rock. This walk will take us along the first stretch of WA’s premier coastal walking trail, The Cape to Cape Track. After stretching our legs, we hop back in the bus and journey towards the bustling market town of Margaret River, where we’ll enjoy some leisure time, before continuing onto our final destination for the day, Pemberton.

Today’s walk begins at the mighty Gloucester Tree, continuing on into the magnificent karri’s, where we’ll enjoy the sounds of birds and the many delightful scents, typical of the south west forested region. We walk on through the forest, with the sound of the babbling brook close by, arriving at our destination at around lunch time. Once we pick you up from here, we’ll take a very short drive to The Cascades...a beautiful setting where we will enjoy our lunch.
Afterwards, we drive a further two hours south to Walpole, nestled in the heart of the Valley of the Giants, an internationally recognised nature-based tourism attraction. You’ll have free time later this afternoon enjoy ... relax, explore the beautiful surrounds of where we're staying, grab a canoe and take a paddle on the river .. the choice is yours.

This morning, we experience the excitement of The Tree Top Walk, which is 40 metres high above the ground, through a canopy of the giant tingle forest. Here we have magnificent views of core wilderness areas from this vantage point. As we continue our walk, a boardwalk winds through a grove of veteran tingle trees known as the Ancient Empire.
After passing through heathlands and low woodlands, dominated by the magnificent red flowering gum, the track rejoins the coast at Conspicuous Beach where our walk ends today. After a great day’s walking, it’s back to our cozy accommodation to enjoy some local produce and wine provided for your enjoyment, while your guides prepare your dinner.

Today we continue heading east from where we finished walking yesterday at Conspicuous Beach. Our first encounter, while we’re still bright eyed and bushy tailed, is the climb up to Conspicuous Cliff-top lookout, where we are rewarded with spectacular views of the beach, the river flowing into the sea and if we’re lucky, we may spot dolphins or a whale or two!
Once we’ve caught our breath and spent time enjoying the views, we keep walking through to Rame Head and then onto Peaceful Bay. This section of the Bibbulmun Track is one of our favourites, as it provides the greatest variety of scenery and vegetation seen anywhere along the track.

During this tour we will be staying in two different areas of our south-west and we will be accommodated in both hotel/motel style rooms & chalets ... all very comfortable (linen included).
Unless you are travelling with a friend or have requested the single supplement, your name will be placed in a draw along with the other ladies on the tour to allocate room buddies.
This will change again, when we arrive at our second lot of accommodation part way through the tour. We have found this to be a wonderful way for our clients to get to know different ladies while on tour and have noticed that it really helps to bond our groups.- Trip Notes Provided on Booking
This tour by it's very nature is not designed for the 5 Star Traveller. We do however, stay in very comfortable accommodation and we don't carry heavy backpacks, so there's no roughing it ...... Our No Princess Policy is more about adopting a 'Go with the flow' mind set when travelling as part of a group so you enjoy the experience - ie: we suggest earplugs if you're a light sleeper, or pay the extra single supplement of $450 for a single room. We mix it up - you get to room with a different lady from the group when we change over our accommodation location and this is designed to bond the group, while alleviating any potential annoyances that may occur as a result of sharing with the same person the whole time.
Notice of cancellation must be in writing, with an email as an acceptable form of communication, directly to Adventurous Women with the following conditions:
No refund is available after departure of a tour has commenced.
Update 19th September 2019 - ** Due to PayPal changing their policy to now retain fees even when we issue a refund we will be forced to pass this along. This means both partial and full refunds will be less the full fee charged by PayPal
