On day one we explore delicate heathland environments and enjoy stunning high cliff top views as the track stays close to the coast and we are instantly immersed in natures beauty.
Our time is spent meandering past several small inlets as we make our way to camp finally crossing Wallagoot Lake Entrance with our shoes off for the last stretch along the beach.
After settling into camp with a hot shower or an ocean dip we will set the fire and watch the sunset over the lake as we enjoy a delicious meal prepared by your guide.

Awake to a spectacular beach sunrise with the smell of coffee and a yummy breakfast before packing up and heading back out on the trail.
Our route takes us past inland lagoons and back onto the beach before climbing to the Bournda Island Lookout. If we are lucky the dolphins will be there to greet us. Heading down the coast there are several spectacular viewing platforms where we can take regular breaks. We will slowly make our way back to civilization passing Short Point then over the hill to our final destination at Merimbula Wharf to celebrate with views toward Twofold Bay.

To fully enjoy the Wharf to Wharf walking track, participants are required to have a moderate level of fitness. The hike involves carrying a full overnight pack with personal and shared group gear, and participants should expect to be hiking for around 6-7 hours each day. While we take regular breaks and support each other throughout the journey, it's essential to be able to walk comfortably across loose terrain, up and down steps, and around rocky cliffs and inlet crossings. It is recommended to bring walking poles for extra support.
This trip is graded moderate, requiring some previous bushwalking experience, but it's not essential if you haven't been overnight hiking before. However, participants must be in good health and physical condition to tackle this adventure safely.
If you're someone who enjoys physical activity and the great outdoors, then this trip is perfect for you! Please note that the trip is graded as moderate due to two days of hiking on beaches, trails, and rocky sections. As a result, a good level of fitness and mobility is required. During the trip, we will traverse rocky terrain, hike up hills and steps while carrying an overnight pack of approximately 15kg. Get ready to challenge yourself and have an amazing time!
Certainly! Please inform us in advance, so that we can avoid bringing any additional gear on your behalf.
Provided we are advised in advance we are able to cater for vegetarian diets, and can assist with food intolerances. Please ensure you discuss your requirements with us at least a month prior to your trip to determine whether we can cater for your dietary needs. We do not cater for FODMAP on this trip.
Almost everyone! Welcome to the community. Most women turn up individually to our trips to connect with others and make friends with like-minded women who enjoy getting outdoors.
As part of our group experience, we encourage sharing of group meal items and sometimes cooking equipment. Rest assured that we will assist you in arranging your pack, and you need not worry about allowing additional space. Prior to setting off, we will go over the packing process to ensure that everything is in order. Please note that each person will be responsible for carrying their own 9L small food bag.

I was not disappointed!!!
I was counting down the days for the Tathra to Merimbula hike since April 2023 and I was not disappointed. Tracey is a knowledgeable, patient guide and knows her Seinfeld! This was my first trip with WWA and won't be my last however I now feel really well equipped to tackle a few trips solo. The remoteness of this area and its little hidden gems, crystal clear rock pools, whales, dolphins etc where magical!! you could only experience by foot. I loved the age diversity of the group and there was plenty of fresh healthy food options.

Awesome trip!
Thank you guide Tracy you are a superb guide and make the best ANZAC biscuits. This trip was lots of fun, still recovering from all the sand walking. I have done 3 trips now, all as a solo traveller and every guide and group have been welcoming and supportive. Women Want Adventure is an awesome community.
