The most outstanding aspect of our experience was ‘customer service’. Nothing was too much trouble, communication was great, Gene and the entire team were warm, happy, informative. We did the 7 day self guided walk. Accommodation, transportation and logistics were well organized. The breakfast supplies were plentiful and the meals delicious. Oh and the walk itself… spectacular and challenging! Wonderful experience overall!

What an absolutely amazing adventure. CCET definitely nailed all wants and needs on our group based guided tour. As a couple joining a tour of 11 we loved every minute from pickup in Perth to drop off. Big shout out to the wonderful CCET crew, Randall, Sophie, Colin, Rusty, Kristie, Bree, Nic, Floss, & Archie to name a few. Everyone was so kind and welcoming and we could tell that they love what they do. The accommodation was great and the food was sensational (thankyou to the catering crew :-) ) The wonderful thing about this tour is that it allowed us to simply walk and enjoy the beauty of the area. CCET took great care of the rest. Shara & Adrian

A group of 14 of us just did the 8-day Cape to Cape guided tour & it was absolutely fantastic in every way! Best of all, the entire team were incredibly professional, friendly & knowledgeable & thanks to their expertise, what was already a beautiful walk became a stunning walk as we discovered & learned so much along the way. Their passion for their work & the environment is obvious, as is their commitment to ensuring all of us were enjoying ourselves, despite bull ants & aching feet! The accommodations & food were a sensational bonus. What a week! I’ll never forget it. Thank you Gene & the entire team! 🌻

We had an amazing 7 days hiking the Cape to Cape with great support from Hamish, Glen, Floss, James and Gene - all of who were very accomodating in relation to our early morning start requests. The food was really good both on the trail and for dinner and breakfast. We did the self guided option which was great. I would recommend buying the Cape to Cape app which was very informative and helpful while on the trail.
