Margaret River
Arrive in Margaret River late morning and enjoy your first walk on the Cape to Cape Track - from Smiths Beach to Injidup beach - with lunch and a swim in a secluded bay along the way. On arrival at Injidup Spa Retreat, enjoy a welcome drink on the clifftop (weather permitting) before settling in to enjoy some wine and cheese and your first sunset by your villa plunge pool. Enjoy a casual dinner with local wines in your villa tonight.

Margaret River
After a gourmet breakfast hamper in your villa, you will make your way to Cape Naturaliste for your 14km walk along the limestone coastline to Yallingup, passing famous surf-breaks on this mostly clifftop walk. Sugarloaf Rock is a highlight today; jutting from the ocean this granite rock formation is visible in the distance on much of the Cape to Cape Walk. This afternoon you have time for a massage at the wonderful Bodhi-J Spa, before a wonderful private chef dinner and hosted wine tastings in the lounge. The chef will showcase local produce to the group over a three-course dinner, while you sample wines from a leading Margaret River winery.

Margaret River
Today’s walk is arguably the most stunning, taking in 14 kilometres of the Cape to Cape from Redgate Beach to Boranup karri forest. You will be dwarfed by the karri trees and marvel at the jaw-dropping views from the cliff-top above pristine Contos beach, and enjoy lunch in the forest today. Later, you will be transferred to a Margaret River vineyard for a private tasting with the owner, before dinner at an acclaimed local restaurant.

Margaret River
This morning your walk is a gentle 3 hours from Moses Rock to Willyabrup sea cliffs. Witness the powerful Indian Ocean waves crashing into the granite cliffs, and the turquoise hues standing out against the orange rocks. Standing on top of the cliffs you’ll have 180 degree views of the coastline and a wonderful sense of achievement at the distance you’ve covered. After, it’s time for a celebratory lunch at founding Margaret River winery, Vasse Felix. Enjoy four courses with premium wine matches overlooking the vines and enjoy browsing the onsite gallery and cellar door before your transfer back to the 5-star Ritz- Carlton, Perth.
