Description

There’s no better way to explore the magic of Western Australia than hiking through it. Walk through red dirt and admire the fantastic gorges and rock formations in the Karijini National Park on this awesome half day trip. You’ll join one of our experienced guides to Hancock Gorge, and cover 1.5 km in around two hours.

The Weano Gorge car park will be the start point for this adventure and where we’ll start hiking. We’ll descend to the gorge floor and that’s where things get really interesting! We’ll wade through water (remember this when you’re deciding what to bring. You don’t want to bring anything that’s not waterproof). We’ll also have to climb over rocks and navigate ledges on the walls of the gorge. We’ll walk as far into the gorge as is safe to do so, then we’ll turn around.

This hike is awesome fun. It’s not easy though. The hike is technical and you’ll need a pretty good level of fitness. We’d also recommend that you have experience bushwalking.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see some of the most beautiful sites in Western Australia.

If you like this, then you should definitely check out our day hike around the most iconic symbol of Australia, Ayers Rock.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
