  • 5Beautiful views, just know what you are capable of

    It was a bit crowded but you can avoid the crowds by going early morning I think. Very beautiful views. Just be wary of what your fitness skill is becuase you have to climb up rocks and ladders and there is a long hike before you get to the skywalk bit.

  • 5This is demanding hike...

    This is demanding hike with numerous steps to get to Castle Rock. Participants should be in good shape. The last part of the climb requires upper body strength and flexibility. The views are worth it upon reaching the top.

  • 5Local Knowledge Makes All the Difference

    Went on the Porongorups Castle Rock trip recently with a passionate and knowledgeable guide who clearly cares deeply about our national parks and her clients. Ironwood Winery was a great way to finish with good food, good drinks, and a good chat. Tour included pickup and transportation, park pass entry, lunch and wine tasting. An intimate local experience. Highly recommended.

  • 5Lovely excursion with rock-climbing followed by wine-tasting

    Had a lovely trip up to the Granite Skywalk with Susan, who was an excellent and knowledgeable guide who could identify all the trees and shrubs we passed, and also good company! The other person who had registered for the trip failed to turn up, so I had her to myself. We duly reached the Skywalk and I have a photo to prove it though the weather, low-flying wet cloud, was not optimal. There followed a delicious lunch and wine-tasting at Ironwood Vineyard and I went back to the hotel with a doggy bag! At the end of the tour Susan drove me to the Anzac Centre well into overtime so that I could catch a couple of hours there and then enjoy the walk along a trail back to the centre of Albany. (The sun was naturally shining by this time!) Thank you, Susan!

  • 5Highly recommend if you like a good walk with a little scramble at the end.

    Wow quite a challenge but doable and very interesting. Susan was a terrific guide her knowledge extensive and we learned a lot. She oozes passion for her state and we really enjoyed the walk, wine and lunch. Thank you.

  • 5A great hike with great company

    We took the opportunity of doing the castle rock hike in the porongorups while down in Albany in order to make sure that we rounded off our trip with a bit of stunning scenery and exercise and the trip did not disappoint. Tim (our guide) was congenial, knowledgeable and helpful in taking us to the base of the hike, shepherding us through the hike and of course, ensuring we got the obligatory "top-of-the-world" shots. The weather played along nicely, and that coupled with Tim's knowledge of the local area made the trip an excellent end to our down-south adventure. The subsequent Plowman's lunch at the winery was welcome and for once deserved.

About Albany

Albany is a harbour city on Western Australia's south coast, with granite headlands, wild surf, a whaling history and the Anzac story of 1914.

Albany stands on King George Sound on Western Australia's south coast, where a military outpost was founded in 1826, three years before Perth, making it the oldest European settlement in the state. Old stone buildings fill the town centre. In 1914 the first troop convoys of the Australian and New Zealand armies sailed from the sound for the First World War, and the National Anzac Centre in Albany Heritage Park tells the story.

Top-ranked sights in Albany: National Anzac Centre, Albany's Historic Whaling Station, The Gap and Natural Bridge.
