Bibbulmun Track | Walpole - Peaceful Bay Pack & Camp 5 Day Hike

From towering tingle forests and misty river valleys to rugged coastal cliffs and remote bush camps, this six day pack and camp adventure (5 day hike) showcases some of the most spectacular sections of the southern Bibbulmun Track. Journey between Walpole and Peaceful Bay carrying only what you need, immersing yourself in the rhythm of life on trail as you disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with nature.

Your adventure begins with a scenic drive south from Perth before stretching the legs on a beautiful warm up hike from Walpole to Hilltop Lookout. Wander through towering karri and tingle forest, breathe in the cool southern air and take in sweeping views across the Walpole Wilderness before settling into cosy accommodation in town for the evening.

Over the following four days, the trail unfolds through some of the most remote and breathtaking landscapes on the Bibbulmun Track. Hike beneath ancient giants in the famed Valley of the Giants region, camp beside peaceful shelters deep within the forest, and traverse dramatic coastal heathlands with glimpses of the Southern Ocean appearing through the trees. Each day brings new scenery, rewarding climbs, and the simple joy of life on trail.

As you approach Peaceful Bay, the landscape transforms into wild coastal beauty, with pristine beaches, rolling dunes and ocean views creating the perfect finale to this unforgettable journey. Celebrate your achievement with a hot shower, comfortable accommodation back in Walpole and a well earned dinner with your hiking crew before returning to Perth the following day.
