The popular 8-day Highlights of the Bibbulmun Track departs in the midst of the spectacular wildflower season. Led by experienced guides from the Bibbulmun Track Foundation, this tour takes in some spectacular scenery along the Track.

The iconic Bibbulmun Track in Western Australia is one of the world’s great long-distance walk trails, stretching almost 1000kms from Kalamunda in the Perth Hills to Albany on the south coast. The Track passes through some of the most diverse and beautiful coastal, forest and wilderness areas of Australia’s south west, and this tour allows participants to experience glimpses of the very best sections. In 2004 and 2006 the Bibbulmun Track won the WA Tourism Award for Significant Tourist Attraction and was a finalist in 2007 and 2008.

The itinerary has been carefully compiled to combine a variety of day-walks with off-track accommodation.   The specially selected full and half-day walks cover varied landscapes of the Track from the rolling hills and jarrah forests in the northern section, through the magnificent karri and tingle forest to the spectacular ocean views and coastal heathlands in the far south. Lead Guide, Steve Sertis, who has walked the length of the Track three times and knows it ‘like the back of his hand’ said “These tours are a great way to showcase the best of the Track and offer a unique experience to participants".

A private bus provides transport to and from the Track each day and participants will experience a number of unique eco-tourism attractions in the region.  Each evening the group returns to comfortable accommodation in the rural towns and villages along the Track. The group is limited to 16 and the cost is $2,400 twin share (single supplements available).  Participants need carry only a small daypack, and the flexible itinerary caters for all levels of experience.

The Bibbulmun Track Foundation is a not-for-profit, community-based organisation established to provide support for the management, maintenance and marketing of the Bibbulmun Track.  They have been conducting guided walks on the Bibbulmun Track for a number of years.   All proceeds from this trip support the ongoing sustainability of the Bibbulmun Track.
