We learnt lots about the local area on the way thanks to their great knowledge and spent a lot of time laughing. Would definitely join again and had a great time!
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK, led by Tracy and with wonderful help from Sarah and Anne Marie.
Every part of the walk was explained and advice was given.
The break in the middle was welcome, with tea and refreshments and a lovely platter of biscuits and cheeses and strawberries and other items.
Thank you for supplying the walking poles to me as a newby.
I thoroughly enjoyed the walk as a 77 year old senior.

As always, the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Our guides (Mikey and Kym) were outstanding – knowledgeable, supportive, and full of good humour – which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. We had plenty of laughs along the way, were treated to gourmet food, and even enjoyed some wine tasting on the journey back.
Everything was so well organised and thoughtfully planned. I always feel looked after and inspired on these trips.
Can’t wait to join OTBT for more adventures in the future!
Highly recommend.
Super fun and friendly.- will definitely be signing up for more adventures.
Australia is a world way away from many of us, and it takes a lifetime to fully experience everything it has to offer. Don't hesitate to do your research well ahead of your visit and benefit from the insider knowledge/tips that OTBT can share with you. Thank you, Tracy and Sarah!
I’m not a strong confident swimmer but the partnering tour companies were awesome and supplied life jackets or pool noodles to make me feel comfortable in the deep ocean.
The tours were amazing, the snorkelling surreal and can be summed up as WOW!!! No hesitation in recommending, even if your not a confident swimmer - book it I travelled with my husband who was also impressed and exceeded all expectations
From our first gorgeous sunset views at Vlamingh Lighthouse to our last stunning sunrise from Charles Knife Canyon, this trip was amazing!! The hikes were tough but worth it! Yardie Gorge and Mandu Mandu Gorge!! We got to see wildlife everywhere including Ospreys, bats and black flanked rock wallabies. The stunning Ningaloo reef experiences were even better than I had ever imagined! From sea kayaking, snorkeling, the glass bottom boat trip and the unbelievable Whaleshark experience! We saw whalesharks, turtles, dolphins, dugong, giant clams and so many reef fish! This is a trip I'll never forget. Thanks to our awesome guide Sarah for making this such an unforgettable experience.
Will be back for the guided multi days hike next time !
Accommodation in Albany was great, very central to cafe's and restaurants where we dined and the food was delicious.
First hike on the Bald Head Trail was challenging but the views were breathtaking.
Our second hike had to be cancelled due to weather conditions but the alternative was organised immediately including our winery lunch. We hiked Mount Hallowell in Denmark and this hike was fantastic definitely a contrast from the previous day and the views at the top were astounding.
We also did a sunrise hike to Point King Lighthouse ruins which was not on our itinerary but our guides went out of their way to get up early to take us and the sunrise was spectacular.
Will definitely do another tour with OTBT
I have been hiking with this amazing company for 5 years and they never disappoint.
We were so blessed with blue skies and a bit.of sun which made it even more enjoyable.
10/10 service and knowledge.
Highly recommend this to anyone that wants to meet new people and to get outdoor ????.
I would absolutely recommend this company for one and this event secondly, if the attention to detail of this experience and guides Mikey and Debbie are any indication of the Off the Beaten Track service then I look forward to anything they have to offer and will definitely be back for more.
Walking on the long beach sections was amazing .just your thoughts and the sound of the waves.
The Passion, Love and Enthusiasm from Tracy each day and also Andrew our guide absolutely made it a memorable experience.
The views on the C2C speak for themselves, whether coastal or forest.
Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Met some lovely people and made memories and new friends along the way.
Thank You OTBT and fellow hikers.
While the track itself highlights the spectacular South West coastal cliffs, sand dunes, beaches and forests, our guide, Andrew, added to this experience with his knowledge of local history, culture, flora, fauna, and his sense of humour!
Off the track, Tracy ensured our week was perfect with amazing food; from indulgent breakfast baskets, local restaurants, home cooked meals for bath and PJ nights, impromptu brekkie at the bakery to unexpected cheese boards, fruit platters and bubbles with choccies popping up along our walk. Our accommodation was extremely comfortable, the massage after day 4 relaxing and the playlist on the bus fantastic.
As a solo hiker, I felt part of this family for the week, sharing much fun and laughter and making many memories (captured and shared in over 350 photos on our return).
Thank you Tracy and Andrew for a wonderful adventure - I'm still smiling!
