This 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.

Local 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.

Lovely 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!

Highly 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.

Well worth the climb to see the view, but it isn't an easy climb - You need to be fit for this one, but it is well worth the climb. There is roughly 2 km? uphill walking on a good track, then you reach the area of the lower look out for spectacular views for those who don't want the extra climb. If you want more there is a relatively difficult climb over large boulders, with expert assistance from our guide Michelle as to where to put our hands and feet we all managed it. Then there is the firemans ladder climb up to the top which is fairly easy. Once you have done that the views from the top are amazing. We are a couple in our late 60's and managed it but I wouldn't call it easy.

Stunning view on the Skywalk. - A great hike with an excellent guide. Such a beautiful view on the top of the mountain. Bring plenty of water as it is up hill for 2 k's.
Very well engineered skywalk. You need some fitness to make it all the way to the top.

Breathe taking views, with some effort before hand - The walk from car park to top is roughly 2.4 kms but at your own pace it is doable for most. The rock scrambles at the top require a little bit of coordination but I guarantee you the view is worth it! We got up there quite early so still had some cloud cover which was amazing, then the clouds started to break and the view became breathe taking. We even got to see some small icicles in the air floating about. Unforgettable….
