Hike summary

Wardanup Trail is a 6.3km loop that wanders throughout Yallingup to Ngili Cave and Lookout and back to Yallingup Beach. If you walk the whole loop you will cover much varied terrain so be prepared.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
