Bibbulmun Track – Walpole to Denmark

Yes, we will arrange a time and a place to meet you on the first afternoon of the tour.

Walpole to Denmark is reasonably challenging. This doesn’t mean that it is a hard slog the whole way, but rather there are a few days which are challenging. The day from Peaceful Bay to Boat Harbour has lots of hills and a beach section and is tough going, however the days either side are moderate.

As with all Bibbulmun track walks, the tracks themselves are fantastic. Although there are some beach sections, rocks and hill, the terrain is not too difficult.

As long as you don’t have any pre-existing injuries and you live a reasonably active lifestyle with regular walking, then with some training this walk is achievable for you. If you would like to discuss your fitness level, the best thing to do is to give us a call on (08) 6219 5164.

We use as couple of accommodation providers depending on availability and the size of the group. When we are sourcing accommodation for our tours we operate from strict guidelines. Good beds, great location, bathrooms close to bedrooms – these are all important however the number one factor we consider is balancing people’s need for private space whilst also having a communal space for socialising.

All linen and towels are provided.

The benefits of staying in one location far out weigh the benefits of moving. We find being able to unpack your bags once and get comfortable for the week is the way to go. Moving accommodation is no fun and it upsets the routine which you can otherwise develop staying in one place. The longest drive (on the second and last day) are only about 45 minutes and they are beautiful drives.

The difficulty of the walks ranges from tour to tour, from easy to challenging. We design all of our walking tours to be achievable for those with a moderate level of fitness. We do recommend doing some training before most tours, because physical activity is always more enjoyable if you are physically prepared. We will send you information about how to train when you book.

When on tour we find that a positive mental attitude is most important and that if you focus on the scenery, the company and the moment, and not on the kilometres, then you find yourself reaching your destination with little problem. You can always have a day or sometimes an afternoon off to relax if you feel like it. If you have any concerns about your fitness or ability to complete a walk, give us a call on (08) 6219 5164 and we can talk you through it.

Our tour prices are based on rooms being twin share (two single beds in one room) or double (one double/queen bed in a room, shared by a couple). If you are travelling alone, we will give you a room with someone of the same sex. Sometimes, depending on the accommodation, it is possible to pay a single supplement to ensure that you have a room to yourself – please ask us if this option is available when you book. We won’t always be able to guarantee your own bathroom with a single supplement due to the types of accommodation we use for group bookings. Often we stay at 2 or 3 bedroom chalets so that we can cook and have a common area for the group to relax and mingle at the end of your days walk. If having your own bathroom is important, give us a ring and we will see if it is possible.

We find a lot of people who haven’t been on a walking tour before worry about this, but it’s rarely an issue. We keep a comfortable steady pace with plenty of opportunities to rest and take in the scenery along the way. Usually the group will spread out over a couple of hundred metres as we walk.

Normal walking pace on a formed surface like a road or footpath is around 4.5 – 6 km per hour and we tend to average just over 3 km per hour on bush tracks. It’s not a stroll but it’s not a brisk walk either. If you feel you may be slower than this, try some longer training walks to increase your walking fitness.

About 80% of our walkers are aged between 45 – 75. Our youngest guest has been about 35 and our oldest was 82. We get a roughly 60/40 female to male split.

We serve simple, nutritious and delicious food on tour, using fresh and local ingredients as much as possible. Of course, if you like, you can indulge in some less nutritious treats as well – you’re on holiday after all and Emily bakes a mean cake. Breakfast, home-made morning tea, lunch, fresh fruit, pre-dinner nibbles and a two course evening meal are all included. We are happy to adapt our menu to suit many dietary needs including gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diets – please ask when you book.

Our walks are for anyone who enjoys walking and nature – bushwalkers or not. Our walks are conducted in safe, supportive and fun environments and you don’t need specialised equipment or experience to undertake them. We give you information about what you will need to bring and how you should prepare for each tour and we’re always here to answer any questions or concerns.

Of course not – it’s your holiday and you should do what you feel! Relax at the accommodation, come for a drive, get dropped off in town or go for a stroll of your own. On some days there is also the opportunity to walk for part of the day. This last option depends on whether there is vehicle access to the track.

Very little. A water bladder or bottles, a rain jacket, some personal first aid supplies and, on some days, lunch. You will probably want a camera as well. We return to accommodation each evening so there is no need to carry a large backpack.
