When is the best time to walk the Cape to Cape Track?

The best time to walk the Cape to Cape Track is in Spring for the spectacular wildflower season, or in autumn to early winter for windless days and sunny skies. Our Signature Cape to Cape Walk is timed for the best hiking conditions, avoiding the peak holiday and bush fire seasons.

In recent years we are seeing the warm weather lasting into June, which means our Signature Cape to Cape Walk – which operates in March to June and September to November - is timed to give you the best chance of hiking in good conditions avoiding the peak holiday and bush fire season.

If you like calm fine days with light winds we recommend hiking the Cape to Cape in Autumn or early June (March-June), which is generally less windy than Spring. If you want to enjoy whale watching from the clifftops as you walk, or to see the wildflowers which carpet the Cape to Cape Track in mid-late Spring, then September October and November are the best months for you.

Other considerations include the seasonality of other aspects of your trip. For example if you are hoping to combine your Cape to Cape Walk with a visit to Ningaloo Reef to swim with whale sharks, this will limit your travel window to the months of March to June when both experiences are available. Please let us know if we can assist with your planning.
