Hike Distance: Minimal (short flat walks at farms and coastal areas) · Drive: Approx. 300–400 km round trip
Depart Perth between 9:30am and 10:00am from selected inner-city pick-up points (e.g., central locations like Criterion Hotel; arrive 5–10 mins early).
Head north along the coast, arriving in the Yanchep area for a delightful local produce experience. Visit the Yanchep Lavender Farm to sample aromatic lavender-infused treats such as lavender ice cream, scones, or other seasonal products amid blooming fields (peak in warmer months). Alternatively, depending on availability or group preferences, stop at Yanchep Chocolate Drops Tearoom for chocolate tastings and relaxed vibes. Enjoy the fragrant gardens, short strolls, and insights into local sustainable farming.
Continue to the coastal town of Cervantes, renowned for its lobster fisheries. Arrive at the iconic Lobster Shack for a fresh seafood lunch featuring Western Rock Lobster (famous locally), oysters, and other catches. Learn about the lobster harvesting process – from pot to plate – through informative commentary or an optional factory tour glimpse (if time allows). Relax on the terrace with ocean views, and spot local wildlife or enjoy the child- and pet-friendly atmosphere.
Take in scenic coastal drives and stops along the way, with opportunities to view wildflowers (seasonal), beaches, and perhaps native animals. Your guide provides engaging commentary on the region's ecology, Indigenous connections, and sustainable practices.
Return to Perth between 18:30pm and 19:00pm. Itinerary may adjust slightly for seasonal conditions, lobster availability (peak season influences freshness), weather, or operational factors. Easy pace with minimal walking makes this suitable for most fitness levels.
