This bus trip from Perth to Exmouth was truly one to remember. As an Aussie, getting out to explore more of my own backyard was a dream, and this tour made that not only possible but incredibly fun.
We experienced so much along the way: sunrises and sunsets, swimming with manta rays, turtles, and even whale sharks, plus plenty of laughs and memories with an awesome group of people. If you're looking to explore the West Coast of Australia, this is absolutely the way to do it.
The journey never felt rushed. It was a relaxing cruise up the coast with well-timed stops to take in all the sights. The itinerary was well-paced, with enough time to explore without feeling like we were constantly on the move.
We were also really lucky with the weather for a July trip! We only had rain for two days, but even then we made the most of it. We still got up for sunrise, no sun in sight, but we headed to a lookout and ended up spotting some whales in the distance, so that was a bonus. The rest of the trip had lovely weather, around 19–25°C everyday. It was a bit windy at times, but honestly, it was perfect for this time of year.
Our tour guide, James, was an absolute legend. Down to earth, genuinely cared about everyone on board, and always made sure we caught sunset every day. Snack stops were also regular (very appreciated!) so no need to stress about being hungry on the road.
The tour was really well organised, especially around food. The first few nights' food shop was done before we arrived, and we just had to cook it (with James’ expert guidance - and excellent rice cooking skills, even when we accidentally added water to his carefully planned prep 😂). Midway through, we did a group food shop, split into teams to grab our ingredients, and cooked on a rotation. The trailer had everything we needed, and it made meals on the go super easy.
Accommodation was awesome too. Only 2 nights camping, and the rest in great hostels. Especially the hostels in Monkey Mia and Coral Bay, absolutely top tier!
If I had one suggestion, it would be to maybe swap out one night in Kalbarri for an extra night in either Monkey Mia or Coral Bay, there’s just more to see and do in those spots.
The group vibe was amazing. A great mix of people aged 18–35, and I’ve definitely made some friends for life.
Can’t recommend this tour enough.
Met so many amazing people who really made the trip incredible and so much fun!
Would definitely recommend going on the Why Not Bus tour!
Big shout out to James for making the trip absolutely incredible! You’re a legend! :)
My favourite trip I’ve had in Australia. Our tour guide James was outstanding, no request or question was ever too much. His fun spirit added to the whole groups experience.
Everyday felt like a completely different adventure. The range of activities and landscapes were brilliant.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing WA. The group element really adds to the experience! Thank you James & Why Not Bus
If you're debating whether to book something like this — don’t second guess it. For both of us, it was hands-down one of the best experiences we’ve shared. The places we visited, the people we met. Unforgettable. We’re still close with friends we met on the tour, and we feel so lucky to have had that time together.
Not long after the trip, my partner was diagnosed with lymphoma. I’m not sharing that to bring the mood down, but to say how grateful we are that we did this when we did.
Massive thanks to Leo and Oli, who made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The only thing I regret is not getting to swim with the whale sharks — so when they say book early, definitely do. They’ll match you with the best tours, and spots sell out fast.
I’d really recommend this to anyone wanting to travel the west coast - the distance covered is massive so it was great to have things taken care of through a tour.
Everything was perfect - the pace, the driving vs. stopping times and the spots covered. We stopped at a range of places overnight - some camping, some dorm accommodation, which felt like a really good balance.
Everyone helping out with the cooking was a great way to bond too and made things really fun.
Kasey, our guide was by far my favourite tour guide I’ve had in Australia (I have done quite a few tours!) and he was super patient, fun, informative, kind and helpful.
So glad I picked to do this trip!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We enjoyed a mix between camping and hostels and found the group cooking a great way to speak to new people.
Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without our guides James & Kasey who gave us a true country WA adventure with their experiences, stories & graft behind the wheel. They made a real effort to become part of our group and we were sad to see them go!
Highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting 2 weeks of travel, fun & beautiful sunsets.
Of course wouldn’t be the same trip without our lovely guides!! Kasey really helped make the experience what it was. He was so kind with a lot of knowledge on the area, and really made the trip feel like a big group of friends hanging out. We also had James for the first half, and his energy and love for WA was definitely infectious!
Overall, highly recommend ☺️
The group dynamic was super chill and friendly, with no pressure to party or drink unless you wanted to, which made it easy for everyone to just enjoy things at their own pace.
A huge shoutout to our guide Kasey, who went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great time — he was fun to hang out with and kept the good vibes going throughout. And thanks as well to James, who was with us for the first half and also did an awesome job. There’s a lot of driving involved, but it’s made so much easier when you don’t have to do any of it yourself!
Would definitely recommend to anyone keen to explore the West Coast without the stress of planning — it’s a fun, easy, and beautiful way to see this part of Australia.
James, our guide and bus driver for the two weeks set a chill, good feel tone which the group soaked up from the start. He was always so accommodating and made the whole experience so easy for us all. The 26 of us on the tour were like family from the start, we had the best fun and formed a very special bond!
Couldn’t recommend this trip and way of seeing WA anymore.
Best tour guide & tour and I know I’ve made friends for life 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This was my first ever trip and I couldn’t have wished for a better one. The group was so lovely, but most importantly the tour guide, James was great! It really felt like he was part of the group wich created a very fun and relaxed vibe:)
We saw a lot of WA and had lots of sunset drinks😁 and also watched a few amazing sunrises!! Would recommend this trip to everyone, because what an experience this was!!
The coastline was beautiful. The ocean gets clearer every stop on the journey north. We saw huge cliffs, beautiful beaches, canyons/dessert, and some pre cool wildlife.
The group dynamic was awesome! Everyone got along super well, and James made sure we all had a great time. The only thing I wish we had more time for was to book on a tour to Steep Point to see the most western point of Australia.
If you’re thinking about booking this trip, do it! It’s the best way to see the west coast!
Snorkeling at Ningaloo Reef and Exmouth was a dream—crystal-clear waters, vibrant marine life, and the unforgettable experience of swimming with manta rays and whale sharks. Evenings around the campfire were full of laughter, storytelling, and marshmallow roasting under a sky packed with stars. And the WA sunsets? Absolutely breathtaking. Watching the colors stretch across the horizon was pure magic.
What really set this trip apart was the incredible vibe. The guides were so passionate, fun, and knowledgeable, and the group felt like one big family. I made friends for life on this trip—people I’ll always treasure. Every day was packed with adventure, stunning sights, and moments I’ll never forget.
If you’re thinking about a Why Not Bus trip—don’t hesitate! It’s the perfect mix of excitement, relaxation, and unforgettable memories.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can’t recommend it enough!
 Great experience!! Great experience!
Great experience!! Great experience! Travelling with the Why Not Bus on the west coast of Australia is highly recommended!
Such a good experience with a fantastic group of people, and really good equipment.
The bus is so much more comfortable than expected
The daily cooking is so organised and well done
The itinerary is well written and so easy to navigate.
The included snorkelling experiences, as well as the hikes in Karijini are amazing!
I can highly recommend the Why Not Bus. If I had done this trip on my own, I’m sure it wouldn’t have been as great nor as cheap.
 
  Great route, guide needs improvement Really great route! Unfortunately our guide was quite unfriendly, it felt like he didn’t want to know us, made no effort to chat or introduce any team bonding games or anything fun like that, and even got angry at a few members of the group causing a tense and unpleasant atmosphere on a couple of occasions. It was a shame, especially when we passed other tour groups in our hostels where the guide was really interactive and created a great vibe for the group.

It was a shame, especially when we passed other tour groups in our hostels where the guide was really interactive and created a great vibe for the group. The group of travellers were really nice, it turned out great for solo travel, and most accommodations are pretty nice - especially the eco retreat. Bus has a tv so that’s a plus!
However worth noting something that our group found very strange and which put a dampener on the trip - the owners of whynot used our personal photos that we had taken of each other from our personal shared album and posted them to their social media, without checking with us first and without any of us even realising they could access the photos! We noticed this and asked for them to check with us before they posted anything, which they agreed to but then did not do and continued to post without permission. A real violation of privacy and personal property tbh!
Also worth noting this is not a party bus as it used to be!! This wasn’t what I was looking for so it was fine but beware if you are looking for that. All hostels have a noise curfew and there’s no games or activities to encourage partying.
 
  Amazing trip with great tour guides! Had an amazing trip with Why Not bus. James and Johnny were great tour guides, who took suggestions for food/ activities from everyone and made sure everyone was cared for. The scenery on the west coast is unbelievable and what made it better was the people that I did the tour with!

  Amazing trip!! I heard about Why Not from a friend who had done a previous trip with them and had highly recommended it. I knew on that recommendation we were in for a good time but the trip itself completely exceeded my expectations. As a group, we had a fantastic time together and made memories for life. The tour itself was so well planned and each destination was better than the last. Our tour guides (James and Johnny) were fantastic and went above and beyond to ensure each tour member was well looked after and had a great time. This tour covers all the main tourist attractions between Perth and Broome and booking through Why Not takes all the hassle out of researching and booking things yourself. Why Not gets a 10/10 from me and would highly recommend to anyone

  An incredible 2 weeks! The trip was more than I could have imagined, 2 weeks of laughter, and the spots we saw were incredible. Definitely an experience I’ll never forget. It felt like one big group of friends exploring the coast. I was worried it would feel like a school trip with it being arranged but it didn’t at all! It was stress free, flexible and just great vibes from start to finish! James and Jonny were great, and made the trip! I wish it didn’t have to end! Would 100% recommend!

Amazing trip Couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Met so many amazing people and had the best experience. A great way to travel WA without having to worry about all the planning. Amazing!!! I had so much fun on this tour!! I did Perth>Exmouth>Karijini. Wicked group of people, breathtaking scenery and a variety of locations made for a truly amazing experience that I will never forget. Oli and Leo have created something really special. I grew up in Perth and have travelled extensively internationally  but getting to experience my own state (as an adult) has been one of my favourite trips yet. Loved the variety of campsites mixed with hostel stays and all the different stops along the way. Highly recommend!

  Book now ! Ahh ! I’ve just come out of this trip and honestly had the time of my life , and been re reminded why I solo traveled to Australia. The tour is so well organised and Oli is the best guide/driver being knowledgeable and chill! The camping equipment is fab , even extra sleeping bags for the cold nights , and the hostels made for a change. The glamping at Karijini was awesome too! I started this trip jumping onto a bus load of strangers and have left with a massive family of friends all over Australia, and this is defo down to the way the trip is planned , and the structure of the tour. A really good mix of physical activity, Hikes , snorkelling, beach afternoons, sightseeing and extra excursions (fully recommend the manta rays and whale sharks!). Also really appreciated the inclusion of all dietary requirements. Don’t Hesitate to book at all!

  A Trip to Remember Without doubt this is the most rewarding vacation I have ever been on.  Unlike many others on the tour I was new to the backpacker style of travel.  However our lovely tour guide Oli was a seasoned pro and made us all feel right at home in the remote outer reaches of WA.  Having to work together with all of the tour members to cook, clean, and setup camp really did bring everyone together and by the end of the trip we were all the best of friends.  Oli was a star and made sure that every person was comfortable, taking the time to get to know each of us personally.  Due to his hard work and the flexible nature of the tour, we were able to navigate any speed bumps along the way.

Why Not Bus took away so much of the logistical stress of planning a massive trip like this allowing us to really enjoy each experience. Everyday was a new adventure and the things we saw along the way were all amazing. This has been the absolute best snorkeling of my life with the pristine shoreline of WA never disappointing. Breathtaking landscapes were a daily occurrence with each hike being better than the last. The value offered on this trip is staggering when you consider how many unforgettable moments you will walk away with.
Cheers for all your hard work guys, you exceeded all my expectations.
 
  Best tour group to explore WA I had the best time experiencing WA with this tour group! This tour hits up all the great spots with a knowledgeable guide and a great group of people mostly aged between 18-35. The tour itself was a lot of fun with awesome activities including hikes, snorkeling and sightseeing. Would highly recommend

  Highly recommend the Perth - Karijini 14 day tour Highly recommend the Perth - Karijini 14 day tour to check out some of the highlight locations along the coast up to Exmouth and in Karijini. They know all the best spots to explore inbcluding scenic view points, hikes, places to eat and local companies to recommend. My partner and I had such a great time, met a wonderful group of people and had some incredible experiences. Our guide Oli was friendly, calm, informative, well organised and flexible, doing everything he could to make this trip enjoyable for the group! Why Not Bus have such a great set-up with a mix of camping and hostels, and it feels like they really have thought of everything you may need. Would highly recommend doing the optional tours in Coral Bay and Exmouth that Why Not Bus suggest, these were all absolutely incredible. Could not recommend Why Not Bus, Oli and Leo enough!
