Join me, Didier, your local guide based in Denmark, Western Australia, for a forest loop following the Ancient Myth route near Walpole. We’ll walk along sections of the Bibbulmun Track and stop for a break at Giants campsite, taking up to three hours, including breaks.
Along the way, there’s time to look up into the canopy, notice the smaller details of the forest and enjoy being out on the trail with your own private group.
We also pass through the Tree Top Walk visitor area. The elevated Tree Top Walk isn’t included in this hike, but you can arrange a separate visit yourself.
An Authentic Taste of the Bibbulmun Track
Did you know the Bibbulmun Track starts in the Perth Hills and winds for around 1,000 km all the way to Albany?
On this adventure, you’ll hike a section of the same trail, following the trail markers through the forest and discovering what it’s like to be a Bibbulmun Track hiker, including a hiker only campsite.
You will feel like a hiker, not a customer. There are no unforms, no tour bus, you will be encouraged to feel fully yourself.
Along the way we’ll explore, take a few breaks, discover some lookouts, try some quiet hiking and stop for a Hikefulness® moment to see what we can hear and notice around us.
You won’t be hiking all 1,000 km — just yet! — but for three hours, you’ll be part of the same trail followed by hikers travelling all the way from Perth to Albany.
Your Guide Didier will share his story as he solo hiked the entire Bibbulmun Track, that changed his life and now also mentors people on trail with a disability and mental health challenges.

What Others Say
“My two teenage sons had such a fantastic time with Didier on their 3 day teen hike, that we decided to join him on a family private day hike. It was a wonderful family activity, Didier has the ability to connect with everyone.

Q&A - Questions I am frequently asked
Yes. Your hike is private and tailored entirely to your personal goal, pace and comfort level.
I am very experienced in guiding beginners and overcoming any barriers you may have, including beginners in groups on multiday hikes.
Due to the our pre-hike conversation, where we will discuss your goals, needs and any concerns, I am very experienced in listening and assessing someone capabilities and planning the hike around your needs.
I will assist you to be prepared for the hike, no matter the weather. South Coast weather conditions can change quickly, and must be expected. Hikes will continue unless conditions become dangerous. I am very experienced in guiding groups through severe weather during multiday hikes.
South Coast weather is very unpredictable and can change quickly, so being ready for these conditional changes can make your hike more comfortable and safer. Check out Day Hike Gear List for Denmark, WA for more information.
Food and lunch aren’t provided, so please bring your own snacks and drinking water. We’ll stop for a break at Giants campsite, where you can enjoy something to eat. As the hike takes up to three hours, including breaks, a snack or packed lunch is your choice. If you’d like to pick up something to eat before the hike or lunch after the hike, I’m happy to suggest a local option when you book.
