5 Day Highlights Leadership WA Guided Camping Experience

Come adventure with us as we walk from lighthouse to lighthouse, along stunning coastal landscape from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin. 

Hiking with us you will be joining a global social initiative, Move For Mental Health - an initiative created to raise awareness + encourage people to move and get out in nature more to boost mental wellbeing or reduce the symptoms of mental illness. 

Each participant will be committing to raising $500 for The Gidget Foundation, a not-for-profit who supports expecting and new parents who are struggling emotionally with post natal depression/anxiety. PNDA affects 1 in 5 mothers and 1 in 10 fathers. Each $1000 raised by the team helps provide a year's worth of quality psychological care to a family through their #starttalking service. 

Over the five day adventure you will be able to experience the power of nature and movement through specifically designed Ecotherapy and leadership activities, that will allow you to take those next steps forward personally and professionally.  

You will walk into a camp that is all ready for you – including hot showers and delicious meals – all this while carrying only a daypack throughout the day. The beachside Prevelly Campsite will become your haven for the duration of your Cape to Cape experience!

Our professional, local guides have extensive knowledge and experience interpreting the natural beauty of the Track. And you can enjoy all this long distance walk has to offer without carrying a heavy pack.

Todays walk begins with a gentle down hill stroll on the ‘access-for-all’ section of Track to the stunning vistas of Sugar Loaf Rock. The Track then runs along an extended section of carved limestone sea cliffs before reaching the coastal hamlet of Yallingup – ‘The Place of Caves’ which is perfect for an afternoon dip before checking in to your accommodation at Prevelly Caravan Park.
