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!
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.
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.
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.
All in all, a well organised fun and memorable trip. Highly recommend!!
