Feel nurtured by nature.  Atop the Granite Skywalk, in the Porongurup National Park see boulders balancing, teetering on weatherworn pedestals. Castle Rock is a 4.2km return uphill, nature trail, hike that requires moderate fitness.  To reach the spectacular views at the summit, requires a final short scramble over rocks and a climb in an enclosed ladder to the Granite Skywalk. Our AlbanyTours Guide will entertain you with intriguing stories of the area, from the traditional Noongar owners to the European settlers.  Suspended above the treetops you can breathe the clean air and exhilarate in the views to the Southern Ocean on this award-winning platform, in this Heritage listed area abundant in wildflowers.

Savour the wine of the Great Southern of Western Australia to add to your lunch at a Porongurups winery.  Rich soils, plentiful rain, and clean air, nourish the vines and bush land. You too can sense nature’s nourishment.

BOOK NOW on a guided experience climbing to the Granite Skywalk in the Porongurup National Park. Here is what our guests report: 

We took the opportunity of doing the castle rock hike in the Porongorups while down in Albany in order to make sure that we rounded off our trip with a bit of stunning scenery and exercise and the trip did not disappoint. Tim (our guide) was congenial, knowledgeable and helpful in taking us to the base of the hike, shepherding us through the hike and of course, ensuring we got the obligatory “top-of-the-world” shots. The weather played along nicely, and that coupled with Tim’s knowledge of the local area made the trip an excellent end to our down-south adventure. The subsequent Plowman’s lunch at the winery was welcome and for once deserved.
