Experience Overview

Remote bays, coral reefs, desert landscapes, a beach made up entirely of seashells and a bright pink lake – this west coast adventure showcases Australia’s scenic beauty over eight beautiful days. Starting in Exmouth, you’ll head into Cape Range National Park and go snorkelling in Oyster Stacks, search for turtles on a glass bottom boat, and look out for marine wildlife from above and under the water. Visit Shark Bay’s Shell Beach, enjoy some time to get active, then head into Kalbarri National Park. Canoe along Murchison River before sitting down to a special dining experience during sunset. Explore lookouts and short walks, see Hutt Lagoon’s vibrant pink hues, then wander the strange landscape of the Pinnacles Desert. Now this is one for the nature lovers!

Highlights

  • Soak up the natural beauty of Ningaloo Reef – a UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a three-hour glass bottom boat tour to spot turtles in Coral Bay and spend your free time walking the shores of Oyster Bay and Turquoise Bay.
  • Visit Shell Beach – one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from seashells – during your time in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. Then, enjoy heaps of free time to explore the bay however you like. Maybe go kayaking, snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding or 4WDing.
  • Be treated to the Murchison Glow Dinner Experience in Kalbarri National Park. Here, you’ll learn about the local area before gliding along Murchison River in a canoe and sitting down to a four-course dinner of regional dishes as the sun sets.
  • Walk through the otherworldly landscape of the Pinnacles Desert – this national reserve is peppered with strange natural limestone structures that date back to around 30,000 years!
  • See the vibrant pink to lilac hues of Hutt Lagoon – the extra high salinity in the lake causes the bright shades of colour.

Itinerary

1
Day 1: Exmouth / Ningaloo Reef / Coral Bay

Welcome to Exmouth! This is a small resort town on Western Australia’s North West Cape and the gateway to the nearby Ningaloo Marine Park. If you’d like to explore its coral reefs, colourful fish and migratory whale sharks, consider arriving a few days early and extending your stay here. After your pick-up this morning drive into Cape Range National Park this morning and head out on a walk to Mandu Mandu Gorge. Venture up to the gorge’s rim to see the vast views of the Ningaloo Reef and surrounding country. Keep an eye out for wildlife as you go, like black-flanked rock-wallabies and birds of prey. After, cool off with some snorkelling around Oyster Stacks – these five isolated islets protrude from Ningaloo Reef and can only be accessed at high tide. Explore the shallow coral gardens below the water, among colourful schools of fish – keep an eye out for turtles and sharks cruising by! After, drive to Coral Bay where you’ll spend the night.

Accommodation:

  • Hotel in Coral Bay (Number of Nights: 1)

2
Day 2: Ningaloo Reef / Coral Bay

Set out on a three-hour glass bottom boat tour this morning, to explore the scenic surroundings of Coral Bay. As you cruise the bright blue waters, go in search of local turtles feeding in the corals of their natural habitat. As well as looking out for turtles, you’ll have the opportunity to feed schools of fish and maybe even go snorkelling in the clear waters off the boat in two different spots! This afternoon, you’re free to kick back on the warm sands, go for a swim or head out for more snorkelling along the Ningaloo Reef.

Accommodation:

  • Hotel in Coral Bay (Number of Nights: 1)

3
Day 3: Carnarvon / Shell Beach / Shark Bay

It will be a bit of a long travel day today as you make your way to Shark Bay – this World Heritage Area is one of the world's greatest wilderness treasures set on the westernmost point of Australia. Along the way, stop in Carnarvon and maybe grab some lunch and visit Shell Beach – one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from seashells! Upon arrival at Shark Bay settle into your accommodation for the evening.

Accommodation:

  • Hotel in Denham (Number of Nights: 1)

4
Day 4: Shark Bay

Today is a free day to soak up all the natural beauty of Shark Bay. You might like to go stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking or 4WDing here – there are heaps of optional activities that your local leader can help you book. You might even like to take a daytrip to Dirk Hartog Island to explore the wilderness in a 4WD – on this tour, you’ll visit the blow holes of the island, walk on white-sand beaches, swim through clear bay waters and look out for sharks, turtles, whales, dugongs and dolphins from Surf Point Marine Sanctuary.

Accommodation:

  • Hotel in Denham (Number of Nights: 1)

5
Day 5: Kalbarri National Park

This morning continue South to Kalbarri National Park. Walk along Eagle Bluff Boardwalk for views of the harbour, limestone islands and wildlife (you might be lucky enough to see rays, sharks or even turtles here). Explore the Skywalk and Nature’s Window.

Accommodation:

  • Resort in Kalbarri (Number of Nights: 1)

6
Day 6: Kalbarri National Park / Hutt Lagoon / Geraldton

Wake up in the park’s resort and continue your exploration with visits to a couple of lookouts, like Natural Bridge – a fully formed limestone rock ‘bridge’ that’s still attached to the coastline of Kalbarri – then, carry onto Geraldton. Along the way, stop at Hutt Lagoon – the extremely high levels of salinity in this lagoon gives it its unusual pink, sometimes lilac hue.

7
Day 7: Nambung National Park / Perth

Check out the limestone caves of Stockyard Gully Reserve, then journey to the massive sand dunes of Jurien Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to spot endangered sea lions from the cafe. After, head to Nambung National Park to check out the famous Pinnacles Desert – a unique landscape unlike any other in the country. You’ll arrive in Perth in the late afternoon, where your trip comes to an end. If you’d like to extend your stay in Perth, just get in touch with your booking agent ahead of time.
