The Albany to Denmark section of the Bibbulmun Track is perfect for those wanting an active, but relaxing walking holiday.
On this 7 day fully guided walking holiday you'll be treated to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in WA's South. Carrying a day pack only, you'll set out each day and explore secluded beaches, marvel at dramatic rocky headlands & sheer cliff faces, wander through beautiful wildflower displays and spy plenty of wildlife along your way.
Walkers with a moderate level of fitness should be able to complete this walk, with daily distances coming in under the 20km mark. However, some training prior will certainly make the experience more enjoyable, given that there are some steep sections and beach walking involved.
● The Wilson Inlet - a haven for many water birds including pelicans and the black swan.
● Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches & plenty of sheltered swimming spots
● Impressive & expansive views all along the coast, as far west as Rame Head near Walpole, east toward Albany and inland to the Porongurup's & Stirling Ranges.
● West Cape Howe National Park
● Wide variety of terrain and vegetation types
● Great views of Albany town & abundant birdlife along the shores Princess Royal Harbour.
● Abundant Wildflowers & Orchids
This morning after picking everyone up from the Perth CBD we head south towards the port city of Albany where we begin our first walk on the Bibbulmun Track. Even though today's walk is short and sweet, it'll certainly feel good to get those legs moving after the drive ... and breath in that ocean air!!
Starting at the Southern Terminus of the Bibbulmun Track in Albany, we'll wind our way around the pretty foreshore of the Princess Royal Harbour, passing historical sites along the way and finishing off at Limeburner's Distillery. If time permits, we may be able to go in for a cheeky tasting.
Afterwards, we head off to our beautiful accommodation situated close to Cosy Corner Beach.

Today's walk see's us heading into Torndirrup National Park, before making our way out to the coast. The inland coastal heathlands produce a colourful display of wildflowers at this time of year and for those with a keen eye, orchids can be found alongside the sandy tracks. As we emerge from the National Park and head towards the Wind Farm, we're met with magnificent views of the Southern Ocean from dramatic cliffs.... absolutely spectacular!!

We have a relatively easy walking day today along the spectacular coastline between the rugged cliffs and majestic wind turbines. Again the views are just breathtaking, as are the wildflowers along this stretch of the track. We finish out the day's walking at a lovely little bay .... Time to take the boots off, relax, have a dip if you wish .. just soak in the beauty!

Starting our day on the beach, we wade our way across the Torbay Inlet (weather/tides permitting, otherwise an alternative route will be taken) and head west towards Cosy Corner Beach where we'll enjoy a break. Once back on the track again, we head through a variety of vegetation types and terrain including forested areas, coastal heath, beaches, bays and granite outcrops, finishing at stunning Shelley Beach. Shelley Beach is very popular for Hang Gliders so if the wind is up, we may see them in flight today.

This morning it's time to tackle a bit of up hill walking while we're bright eyed and bushy tailed. With our 'up hill' work out of the way early on, the rest of the day is relatively easy by comparison. Most of the day will be spent walking within scenic West Cape National Park where wildflower displays are abundant at this time of year, then in the latter part, as we head towards Lowlands Beach, we'll be once again taking in those stunning coastal views.

Another day in paradise! We enjoy both inland and coastal views during our last walking day along this section of the Bibbulmun Track. Toward the end of the day we pass through Nullaki Campsite set nicely among Peppermint trees, where we take a short break before continuing out to peaceful Wilson Inlet, marking the end of our fabulous week of walking.
