Cape to Cape Tours Thank you to all at Cape to Cape Tours for a most incredible experience and fabulous time walking the track. My husband and I absolutely loved it! We were nervous that at our age (69 and 79) it would be difficult but thanks to our brilliant guides who supported us the whole way we did it and feel so rewarded by the experience. The glamping accommodation was spacious, clean and fun. It was lovely sleeping under the stars and being woken by the chirping birds in the morning. The food was very nutritious and plentiful and the coffee, amazing. Thank you to all. We will recommend to anyone that wants to do the Cape to Cape tour go with your guys! You are brilliant!

Prisitne Trekking This is magical countryside to walk through as it is pristine with spectacular ocean views. A very restorative experience. Gene and his staff were informative and punctual with pick up and drop offs. Accommodation was clean and spacious, with laundry facilities being a big plus. Food supplied was plentiful and a wide variety of cuisine. The chocolate brownie from Lamonts supplied on day 2, was the best! A highly recommended experience, with a well oiled tour operator.

CCET are a fabulous team This was an excellent trip. It is clear that this company is passionate about their region and the Cape to Cape trail. There has been a lot of thought put into preparing hikers for their adventure and helping to make the experience really enjoyable. Keeping in contact with hikers, managing pickups around how you were progressing with the day's walk, excellent lunches and morning tea and a well thought out catering box all contributed to making this a fun hike along breathtaking coastline.

The Perfect Blend of Hiking and Holidaying Our group of seven have just returned from a fantastic experience with Cape to Cape Explorer Tours on their Guided Highlights Tour. We chose the ‘Highlights’ tour because we wanted to combine some solid hiking along the Cape to Cape Track with other Margaret River experiences. We loved the diversity of the program and had a blast! From the initial planning with Sam and Gene, whose patience and genuine ‘can-do’ attitude made the process so easy, right through to the wonderful team on the ground, we really couldn’t fault a thing. It genuinely felt as though we were wrapped up in their loving arms all week - looked after, cared for and expertly guided through this beautiful part of the world, while being hosted at our home away from home, Surfpoint Resort. The way the program is put together is innovative and functional, with those extra touches that surprised us in the best possible ways. Footbaths at the end of each day salved our tired feet, wonderful food and healthy snacks fuelled us throughout, and a welcoming community space to relax in the evenings make hikers feel very well looked after! The camaraderie between the staff is warm and genuine, and their experience and knowledge brought the region to life throughout our seven days. We learnt so much about the flora and fauna of the area, spotted whales and dolphins along the coast, and gained a fascinating insight into this part of Western Australia’s coastline, its Indigenous heritage and colonial history. There was plenty of variety beyond the hiking too with wine tasting, kayaking and cave exploring giving us the chance to discover the region from different perspectives. Thank you, team. You have developed a fantastic product and delivered it with expertise, love and joy.

Amazing I recently completed the Cape to Cape Guided Highlights tour with my sister. It was our first multi day hiking experience. Cape to Cape Explorer tours were amazing from our first enquiry through to the bus journey back to Perth. Accomodation and facilities were well set up. The food was great and all of our guides and drivers were fantastic. Thanks for making our hiking holiday amazing. Highly recommended 🙂

Independent 5 day Cape to Cape highlights. My husband and I have just returned from our 5 day Cape to Cape highlights walk. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly staff and felt welcome and well looked after. The walk was challenging for our older legs, but worth every step. Spectacular scenery around every corner. We would definitely recommend CCET, and would walk with them again.

Amazing coastal views We signed up for the 6 hour cape to cape track. The hike takes you past amazing coastal views. Andrew the guide gave an excellent introduction to the region, the geology and the wildflowers blooming during the Sept season. We aren’t atheletic and only have basic stamina but we still managed the hike on the sand and rocks. We encountered scorching sun even though the temperature was low. If sunny weather, lighten up on the clothing. Altogether, a highly recommended experience
