Nobody knows the Cape to Cape Track like US

At Cape to Cape Explorer Tours, we pride ourselves on creating the highest quality experiences on Western Australia’s premier multi-day hiking trails – the Cape to Cape and Bibbulmun tracks.

An award-winning, local company, we support the envrionment and our community. Our guides and staff all live in the area, are professionally trained and have an intimate knowledge of the region, plus a passion for walking and people.

“Explore the true nature of Western Australia”

A ‘LEAVE ONLY FOOTPRINTS’ PHILOSOPHY

We aim to offer a holiday experience that makes a positive impact on the natural environment and our community – among a long list of environmentally conscious and socially responsible practices, we actively contribute to management of the Track and sit on the committee of the Friends of the Cape to Cape Track volunteer group. We aim for low food miles with our catering. We have a ‘buy local’ policy. We choose minimal and recycled packaging. We’re partners with and practice the principles of the Leave No Trace Foundation. And we’ve achieved Advanced EcoAccreditation – the national benchmark for environmentally aware tourism operators.

PERSONALISED AND QUALITY SERVICE

Cape to Cape Explorer Tours deliver a personalized and quality service – a fun, healthy holiday with great food, accommodation, company, scenery and a wonderful sense of accomplishment! Your safety and satisfaction are our priority and our attention to detail and love of looking after all the ‘little things’ have led to many repeat customers and glowing reviews.

 We look forward to welcoming you to Margaret River and sharing the natural wonders of the region – and especially the Cape to Cape Track – with you! 

Acknowledgment of country

At Cape to Cape Explorer Tours we acknowledge Country as both the environment in which we live and work, and its own entity.

Country does not just mean the forest, creeks, rock outcrops, beaches, hills and waterholes but in fact all living things. It incorporates people, plants, climate, soil and animals. It embraces the seasons, stories and creation spirits. Country is a way of believing and a place of belonging.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of this Country, the Wadandi People of the Noongar Nation, past, present and emerging. We walk through Country with a sense of awe, respect and sensitivity to Country’s sustained existence and preservation.
