Embark on an unforgettable overnight hiking adventure through one of Western Australia’s most stunning coastal landscapes. This immersive 2-day experience led by Off the beaten Track WA expert guides covers 18km of rugged beauty, starting with a coastal traverse from Rossiter Bay to Lucky Bay, where you’ll set up camp and be treated to panoramic views, white sands, and possibly a kangaroo or two on the beach.

In the afternoon, we’ll wander from Lucky Bay to Thistle Cove and back, taking in granite outcrops, ancient formations, and delicate coastal flora. Along the way, you’ll learn to interpret the stories written in the landscape—from wind-carved boulders to the colourful wildflowers that thrive in this dramatic setting.

This isn’t just a hike—it’s a hands-on overnight skills workshop designed to prepare you for your own multiday hiking adventures. You’ll gain practical knowledge in hike preparation, gear selection, campsite setup, hiking techniques, trail nutrition, and lightweight meal ideas. This event will equip you with confidence, capability and community and is perfect for anyone dreaming of their first solo overnight or planning a bucket-list multi-day hike.

Get GROUNDED, build your skills, and experience the wild magic of the Esperance coastline.
