The inaugural Esperance Hiking Festival will take place over three days in September 2024, promoting Esperance’s hiking trails while also supporting the local economy during a lower visitation period.

The festival in September invites you to explore the diverse tracks that wind through the captivating landscapes of Cape Le Grand National Park. It features five carefully crafted guided hikes tailored to different fitness levels to cater for beginners to seasoned hikers.

The festival has been strategically aligned with the Esperance Wildflower Festival and developed in a partnership between Australia’s Golden Outback and The Hike Collective. Read more here.
