New to hiking or looking to build your confidence on the trails? Join us for Hiking 101—an engaging and practical skills hiking workshop designed to give you the know-how to hike smarter, safer, and with more confidence.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Cape Le Grand National Park, this 5km return hike from Lucky Bay to Thistle Cove is the perfect classroom. Along the way, you’ll learn the fundamentals of hiking safety, trip planning, trail etiquette, basic modern navigation techniques, and how to prepare for a day on the trails—from gear selection to packing tips and hydration strategies.

Led by Off The Beaten Track WA’s experienced and award-winning Guides, this small-group experience is all about empowering you to explore the outdoors with confidence and clarity.
