Hike the Bibbulmun Track: Walpole to Denmark

Welcome to Western Australia! Departing from Perth, you’ll travel to the coastal town of Walpole. Stopping for morning tea and lunch, you’ll soon arrive in the town centre, where you’ll begin today’s short walk. After stretching your legs, you’ll head to your accommodation in Walpole, where you’ll stay for the next four nights. Settle in and unpack before heading to dinner with your fellow walkers.

A heart-starting ascent begins today as you hike to the Hilltop Lookout. Take in the views across the forest landscape before continuing to the Giant Tingle Tree. Have your cameras ready as you pose for a photo standing inside the open twisting trunk of the trees. Tonight, enjoy dinner with your group.

This morning, you’ll set out from Box Hall Road. Watch as the terrain changes from forest to coast as you hike downhill towards the ocean. You'll know you're nearing today's endpoint, Ficifolia Road, when the Red Flowering Gums begin to appear.

Enjoy the ocean views on today's hike from Ficifolia Road to Peaceful Bay. Stopping at Conspicuous Beach for morning tea, you’ll hike towards the Rame Head Campsite for another viewpoint across the ocean. From here, continue along the coast, finishing at Peaceful Bay. If the weather is warm, this is a perfect spot for a swim.

After breakfast, head out on to the vegetated dunes and peppermint woodlands as you hike towards the Irwin Inlet. Here you’ll get into canoes and paddle across the inlet. From here, you’ll walk through the Showgrounds. Today’s hike ends at Boat Harbour. With scenic inland and coastal views, the peaceful bay may tempt you for a swim. Tonight you will stay in Denmark.

This morning, you’ll start with a walk along the cliff-tops, enjoying the panoramic views. After reaching Point Hillier, you’ll descend to Parry’s Beach for lunch. From there, continue along Mazzoletti Beach before arriving at William Bay – the final stop on today’s hike. Explore the Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks or enjoy a swim in one of the most scenic bays in Western Australia.

Today’s hike begins with climbing Tower Hill, where you’ll encounter some amazing granite boulders. From here, it’s a series of ups and downs through orchid country to Lights Beach. After a break at the beach, you'll make the hike up Mt Hallowell, with its striking boulder formations and views over the Denmark area and coast. Then enjoy a gentle descent to the inlet and an easy walk along its edge. In the evening, you'll celebrate your wonderful achievement together with the group and enjoy dinner before settling in for your final night in Denmark.

After breakfast, you’ll start the morning with a short hike. Buy some takeaway lunch in Denmark to be enjoyed at a scenic spot on the way home. You’ll arrive in Perth this afternoon, where your journey comes to an end.
