They somehow made it even better than the East Coast Hi,i participated in the August tour and it was great!
I originally payed 2099 AUD to get from Perth to Exmouth and experience everything in between but after the second day i payed them an additional 900 AUD to do the Karijinis.
We were guided by Adam - let me tell you, we could not have possibly had a better Tour-guide, he was never strict, stressed, worried, anti-fun. His first priority was always comfort and fun, that meant: waking up on most days whenever we wanted. Staying longer at some places, choosing where to eat when to do a bus break or not. Checking out Gorge A or B you get the gist.
Adam is well versed in the region and lives there, so he knows plenty about the landscapes, how they were shaped, the indigenous people, inicdents that happened in the past, the best places to check out and mind you, this was his second tour after 8 years.
Him and Leo are extremly kind and welcoming and the people that i have met there are now lifelong friends.
When i thought about it, 2099 AUD sounded like a good prices but you probably have to pay about 900 AUD on top for the tours which is not so great and 100 AUD for food at the beginning which was not mentioned. And the 100 AUD for food that you put in there doesn't even cover all the food for the entire trip which is not the guides fault but it should be at least be included in the price prior to the departure.
So you'll roughly be looking at 3800-4000 AUD for the Trip which sounds like a lot but having all the things in mind that i did and all the people that i have spent those 14 days with it was definitely worth it and i would spent that money always again.
They get a 5 Star from me because i am walking away with nothing but joy and good memories, it was the best way to finish my gap year in Australia.
Thank you for everything, i will never forget this experience.

Unreal insane experience Wow, the Why Not Bus exceeded my expectations beyond anything. The people in my group, insane - we clicked quicker than anything, everyday brought more laughter, fun times and jokes with sun and age range. The tour moves at such a perfect pace and Adam was so helpful in guiding us with what was best to do on each weather especially if our weather was a bit unpredictable or if some ideas meant we got to experience a day better than before. The meals brought us together even closer by cooking in random groups but cooking up a feast every time of such varied but fancy style meals. The meals were never basic, there was plenty of protein and vegetables in every one and such varied options. The activities were so relaxed with options to increase your thrill level or bring out your inner adventure so that definitely was a positive and we saw everything that was the top spots along WA, especially with the bus recommending swimming with Manta Rays and to swim with Whale Sharks, which neither disappointed any of us. The bus was easy to manage and follow and the company really puts effort in to plan this trip to be the best it can be. It was such an incredible experience and it’s so sad it came to an end so quickly. Adam helped match our daily needs and wants as a group while focusing on giving us the best views, sightings and outings we could have possible. He was always there to help, give such a funny comment and lead us through our journey. As a nervous first time solo traveller this definitely is something I recommend to anyone wanting to travel or try something new. This was amazing and I loved every second.read moreread less

A trip I will never forget What an experience! Saying that I travelled with a friend wouldn’t quite be accurate, because by the end of the very first day, all my fellow travellers had become so close to me. I genuinely felt like I was travelling with a group of friends from the very beginning. There’s something so special about meeting people from different walks of life who are all looking for similar experiences, adventures and connections from a trip. The group was honestly one of the best parts of the entire experience. Everyone was so welcoming, easygoing and up for making the most of every moment. There was such a lovely sense of camaraderie, and it didn’t take long before we were laughing together, sharing stories and looking out for one another. It felt less like travelling with a group of strangers and more like joining a little community of likeminded people. Adam is an absolute legend! His management, friendly approach to everything and absolutely insane stories made the trip so much fun. He created such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, which made it incredibly easy for everyone to bond. The accommodation and meal planning were all immaculately organised, and you could really see how much thought had gone into every detail. I especially loved the idea of smaller groups taking turns cooking meals and doing the washing up, it gave everyone a chance to get involved and created a genuine sense of community from the very beginning.If you’re thinking about doing this trip, go for it! You absolutely will not regret it. You’ll come for the adventure, but you might just leave with some incredible memories and friends for life <3

Best Trip Ever I did this tour with a friend and we had a wonderful time! Our guide Adam helped our group gel and gave us all the local knowledge from the very beginning. Not to mention his crazy stories. He was amazing! The tour was very social and I enjoyed getting to know everyone. There was always the opportunity to drink/party but absolutely no pressure to if you weren’t feeling it. I’m so glad I chose to see the WA coast with why not bus and would recommend to anyone!read moreread less

I went on the Why Not Bus Tour in July 2026 from Perth to Karijini National Park over 14 days. It was the best craic from start to finish with everyone we met. Whether we were on the bus or in hostels or camping we all chipped in and had such a laugh. I would say the people we were with made the trip extra memorable.
I would recommend doing the Mantaray tour. We saw so much and was a really fun day and the Ningaloo tour guides were brilliant and was a Highlight for me.
Adam was our tour guide and made the trip so chill and fun.
Definitely bring a pair of Reef shoes and old trainers because there will be water and dirt along the way!
We got fed really well by the tour and stopped regularly for extra snacks and drinks so definitely budget for that.
Overall was so worth it and met amazing people and saw the best sunsets and sea life when snorkeling and swimming.
Thanks to Adam and all involved.

Unforgettable West Coast Road Trip I had an absolutely incredible time on the Perth to Exmouth tour with Why Not Bus! If you want to experience the best of Western Australia’s Coral Coast without the stress of driving or planning every detail, this is definitely the way to do it.From stargazing at the Pinnacles and hiking through Kalbarri National Park to snorkeling with incredible marine life at Ningaloo Reef in Coral Bay and Exmouth, every day was packed with unforgettable sights.
The vibe on the bus was relaxed and fun. It’s perfect for solo travelers, as you make friends almost instantly. The driver was enthusiastic, and kept everything running smoothly while making sure everyone had the best time.
Highly recommend to anyone visiting WA!

More than a road trip I expected the landscapes to be incredible but was amazed by the amount of wildlife we saw. Snorkeling Ningaloo Reef being a highlight! The nights camping under a sky full of stars and seeing the Milky Way so clearly are memories I'll carry with me.The biggest surprise was how quickly a bus full of strangers became a great group to travel with. The laughs on the bus, the conversations around camp, and the shared experiences ended up being just as memorable as the places we visited.
A huge thank you to Adam, who kept everything running smoothly while creating such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. He genuinely cared about everyone having a great experience and made the trip what it was.

What a trip! I would definitely recommend choosing Why Not Bus. We had such a lovely group, we saw so much in such little time without ever feeling rushed. There was time and space for everyone’s wishes and our guide Adam was the most chill man ever!! He was so sweet, concerning, trying (succesfully) to make sure everyone had a good time. I was not too sure about the camping, but these nights ended up being my favorites during the trip. Big big thanks to Why Not.

An amazing trip! Was worried as a solo that everyone would know each other but 95% of people came alone and even the couple and the 2 friends that came together mingled amazingly. A good mixture of all nationalities. The group split immediately between party people and people that wanted early nights and chill.
Shout out to Chris who came back out of retirement to do this trip a final? Time. Hostels were amazing, camping was amazing and the way it was organised and all the food was insane. I looked at google reviews of this trip before booking it and trust them. Most amazing time of Perth - Broome

So so glad I booked this tour, it was honestly the highlight of my western Australia experience! I was worried I wouldn’t gel with anyone, but the group was fantastic & I know I’ve made friends for life. Our tour guide Chris made every day fun and interesting, even arranging indoor places for us to sleep instead of camping in torrential rain. Shoutout to Vish too - the best driver! Really well organised, food was great with veggie options every day & good cooking setup. We were able to go out in the evenings or stay in & relax, so there are options for everyone! Highlights were definitely the whale sharks (don’t miss out on this, it’s worth every penny), Kalbarri and Karijini. 2 weeks of sand, sea & sunshine. Wish I could do it all over again!

While the WhyNotBus tour had very good points; it was extremely well organised, James was very friendly, the coach was spacious and had great A/C, plenty of food and drink stops along the way, and for the most part, clean and safe accommodation - I wouldn’t recommend to anyone who identifies as non-white.
I unfortunately didn’t have a great experience with some of the wider group. As the only person from an ethnic minority background, I was subject to a few micro-aggressive underhand comments and behaviours that unfortunately dampened the trip for me. I felt constantly excluded, except for a small group of people, and was made to feel very aware of my different cultural background. Some of the accommodation was also a little cramped and not the cleanest, and meals sometimes became repetitive.
However, the opportunity to experience the different hikes, wildlife, and activities was amazing. Monkey Mia was my favourite, along with Coral Bay - which as a qualified Diver was amazing!
I do also have to commend Leo for all his communication with me prior to the trip which was much appreciated. Thank you to James for leading this trip.

Genuinely the best trip of my life so far, and i dont give that title willy nilly.
Had the perfect mix of party and calm vibes, met the most lovely and interesting people, and visited places/did things i never would have known of if i had done my own trip up the coast. Organisation was incredible, tour guide Chris was a legend, food was solid, set up was bloody awesome (got complimented by other travellers a LOT), and overall vibes were just top tier. I don’t think ive ever had post holiday depression like it before!! Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore their own backyard like me, or wanting the true aussie roadtrip experience from overseas!!

Why Not Bus tour for two weeks along the west coast… it was incredible. James our driver and group leader made us feel very safe and comfortable in the bus. I was amazed that the trailer could carry all the equipment we needed for camping and cooking equipment for two weeks. James had great knowledge of weather, sights and found us some beautiful places to watch the sunrise and sunset. Thank you for making our trip worth every penny!

The Why Not Bus tour was an unforgettable experience. I had an amazing two weeks, met the loveliest people, and saw some incredible parts of Western Australia.
The whole trip was very well organised and ran smoothly from start to finish. The pace was perfect and never felt rushed. There was a great balance between camping and hostels, along with a mix of cooking dinners together and eating out, which made it feel really social and relaxed.
There were so many highlights, but Karijini National Park was definitely one of my favourite days!
A big thank you to our guide, James, who was fantastic – always looking out for everyone, keeping things organised, and adding little extra adventures (side quests!) that made the trip even more fun and memorable.
I would highly recommend the Why Not Bus to anyone thinking about travelling the north coast of WA!

I did the Perth to Exmouth trip with the Why Not Bus Tour in March 2026 with group leader James and 24 other people from all over the world. From the moment we all met, we were a family!! I never thought it was possible for a group to click so well so fast, and this is all thanks to our group leader James. The organisation that goes into this trip is incredibly impressive!! The bus itself is extremely comfortable- the phone charger unit and aux speaker is definitely a bonus!! I completed two nights of camping on this tour- absolutely everything is provided including a fantastic tutorial by James in how to set up the tent so if you’re like me and don’t know too much about camping- he will show you everything!! The food selection is fantastic on this tour and James took into account all the dietary requirements extremely well!! The driving time was divided up extremely well by James which meant we could enjoy our time in each destination and not rushing from place to place!! He knew the hidden beauty places in WA and I do believe I wouldn’t have seen half of the places I saw without him guiding us on this tour. We were guided so incredibly well on everything- he knew exactly what we needed to bring with us and when we needed to bring it!! His photography skills are also top class!! It really was such a fantastic trip I couldn’t recommend it more, I definitely have made friends for life and memories that I will cherish forever💓💓 thank you again James 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I did the 10-day Perth to Exmouth tour with Why Not Bus and it was incredible from start to finish. The trip had the perfect mix of adventure, stunning scenery, and some chill time ☀️
A big shoutout to our guide, James, who really made the experience. He was super organised, knowledgeable, and brought a great, relaxed energy to the group while making us feel safe and well looked after throughout.
The bus was modern and comfortable, and the trailer had everything we needed for the trip 🚌 We stopped at all the key highlights and never felt rushed, with plenty of time to enjoy each place — including some amazing sunsets 🌅 Ningaloo Reef was incredible, with snorkelling straight off the beach 🤿
Accommodation was a mix of camping and hostels ⛺️ Food was great — cereal for breakfast, wraps for lunch, and different dinners each night (all planned and organised by our guide, which made things so easy). I also met so many lovely people, and the group got on really well ✨

One of the most unforgettable and transformative experiences of my life was joining the Why Not Bus tour along the Western Coast of Australia, from Perth to Broome. Coming from a family where travel isn’t common, deciding to embark on this adventure was one of the most daring things I’ve ever done. As a young woman travelling solo for the first time, I was both nervous and excited - but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Till this day, it brings nothing but a smile on my face...
During my year abroad in Australia for my exchange studies, I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and see the country’s natural beauty up close. From swimming in the pink lakes to camping under the stars, every day felt magical. One of the highlights was snorkelling at Ningaloo Reef - my first time ever! It was absolutely breathtaking, surrounded by beautiful coral and fish, and I remember thinking how lucky I was to witness something so pure and alive.
Travelling with strangers who soon became friends, I met people from all walks of life, shared stories by the campfire, and laughed under the starry skies. The sense of freedom, independence, and connection was something I had never felt before. As a new female traveller, it was empowering to navigate new places, make decisions for myself, and prove that I was capable of far more than I’d ever believed.
Even though it’s been about three years since that trip, the memories are still vivid and deeply rooted in who I am today. That journey taught me courage, self-discovery, and the beauty of exploring the unknown. I’ll always be grateful to Leo and the Why Not Bus team for creating an adventure that helped me discover not just Western Australia - but most importantly myself!

Book book book! This was my first time doing a trip with a tour and I was sceptical but Why Not were amazing - great value tour, so organized and relaxed with absolutely everything taken care of for us.
Bus? New, spacious & with great air con. There was a trailer attached with our luggage, camping stuff and a full kitchen - incredible
Food? All shopping was done for us by our tour guide James and all meals and recipes planned. We had different dinners every night and they were all delicious - pesto pasta, curry, mash & sausages etc. (veggie options too)
Accomodation? The hostels were all walking distance from a beach and all decent, clean & had lovely hot showers. The camping nights were incredible too - Wooramel River Retreat is a magical spot
Views and stop points? We stopped and had time at all the usual highlights, with James going out of his way to make sure we also got in incredible sunsets everyday. Ningaloo Reef was the best place I've ever snorkelled - walked right off the beach to the most amazing coral.
Tour guide & people? James really can't be faulted. He was so organized and professional and we just didn't have to think about a single check-in, food shopping, route or timing to get to anything. He really cared about us having the best time possible and his patience and going the extra mile so many times did not go unnoticed - thank you James! The group I was with were so sound. 98% solo travellers. We were just all on the same page - such a relaxed and fun trip. Friends made for life.

Why Not Bus: The Ultimate Western Australia Road Trip! If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure through Western Australia, I would definitely suggest Why Not Bus! I had never really done a pre organised trip like this before so I was a bit hesitant but from start to finish, this tour exceeded all expectations, delivering a perfect blend of exploration, excitement, and genuine connection. A huge part of what made this trip so special was our incredible tour guides, James and Kasey. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone had an amazing time, always ready to lend a hand (especially with pitching tents). Their passion for Western Australia was infectious, and they truly made the experience unforgettable.
The itinerary was brilliantly planned, balancing travel time with an array of incredible activities and sights. From the otherworldly Pinnacles to the vibrant Pink Lake, every stop was a highlight. Camping in Jurien Bay was a fantastic start, and the Pink Lake was even more incredible in person than in photos. Our time in Kalbarri was memorable, especially the skywalk in the national park and the numerous photo opportunities at stunning viewpoints. Visiting Shark Bay and the unique Shelly Beach was followed by a relaxing camping experience at Wooramel Station, complete with its rejuvenating natural baths. The highlight for many was undoubtedly the time spent exploring the Ningaloo Reef at Coral Bay, where we had the extraordinary opportunity to swim with graceful manta rays. Then it was onto Exmouth, where we experienced the ultimate thrill of swimming alongside wild whale sharks. The beautiful Karijini National Park was another standout, showcasing the raw beauty of the region. Evenings were filled with laughter as we cooked meals together, shared stories, and indulged in some memorable nights. We spent countless hours stargazing, witnessing some of the most breathtaking sunsets and sunrises I’ve ever seen, all from incredibly beautiful spots. Beyond the stunning sights, the tour fostered a fantastic sense of community. I made lifelong friends, and we still keep in touch months later.
If you're planning a trip to Western Australia, I wholeheartedly recommend Why Not Bus. When I return, I’ll definitely be booking another tour with them!

Best two weeks ever! Seriously take me back! An incredible two week trip up the west coast and making friends on day 1. Perfect balance of ticking all the bucket list boxes and chilling / meeting new friends. James was the best tour guide proving us with lots of info and the best sunset spots. Worth every penny. Truly felt looked after by the company and would recommend to anyone!

What an amazing 2 weeks travelling from Perth to Broome with why not bus. James our tour guide was extremely helpful and knowledgeable he made sure we all had a great time and always made sure we caught the sun set 😂 . As a solo traveler this is probably one of the best tours you can do it’s not too rushed as we spent a few nights in some destinations meaning we had more time to explore the areas along with time to rest down the beach in between activities so a perfect balance. All of the accommodation provided including the campsites all had toilet and shower facilities. I think collectively as a group we all had amazing time such a laugh. WA can be hard to travel as it’s a such a big area but with Why Not Bus it was made an easy stress free experience I would highly recommend if you want experience the west coast see some amazing places and have some incredible experiences with the wildlife.

I had an amazing time on this bus tour. It's such a good way to see the western coast and to bond with people from all over. I met one of my best friends on that trip three years ago!! I only booked on the Perth to Exmouth tour but was having such a blast I extended to go up to Karijini and back mid-tour. Loved the flexibility of the small company too. I'll never forget the adventure, giggles, scenery (most beautiful beaches in the WORLD), and people. Shoutout to bus driver/tour leader Bob!

Why not bus does it best! I was recommended why not bus by a friend who also wanted to travel the West coast but had no one to go with. She highly recommended why not bus and after my trip I would do the same. Every day was full of adventures and site seeing with a great bunch of people all around my age. I feel like we spent enough time in each location and didn't feel rushed at all. James our tour guide was also really accommodating and was always checking in with the group regarding wake up times and how long everyone wanted to spend at certain areas. James also was a great man to find us a sick sunset location! I think compared to other tours I've done it was great value for money and other than the $100 food fee you wouldn't need to spend any money on the tour if you're on a budget. Thanks everyone at why not bus especially James, I've had the experience of a life time.read moreread less

Had the best time on this tour in September 2025. Lots of really fun activities from sandboarding and hikes to swimming with whalesharks (some cost extra $$). Saw so many amazing sunsets. Was a nice mix of hostels and camping. Tour guide Kasey was great and so friendly and wouldn’t have been the same without him. Definitely worth it if solo travelling or don’t want to drive yourself. Food was good, breakfast was cereal or toast, lunch usually wraps and dinner was a range of things, nice that everyone took turns helping to cook.

I joined Leo & Miles’ WHY NOT BUS back in August 2018 & hands down it was my best travel experience on my 8months Australia trip! If you are looking for travelling along the West Coast, there is no better way. Not only the nature was beautiful but also the time we spent in the bus - sometimes driving six hours straight - was FUN! 🤩 Good music, great vibes. They had all the equipment ready for us to build up our campsites and we as a group grew in the team building exercise of setting up our tents 🏕️.
Best thing: I met Julia & Carina, which I have been friends with ever since & we just met in 2025 again for Julia’s Bachelorettes party 🎉

Had such a fantastic trip in April this year. Everything was super organised, loved having everything planned for us, but also having the opportunity to do our own thing when we had downtime. Our tour guide James was amazing and easy going, nothing was too much trouble for him. Exmouth was a highlight and swimming with the whale sharks.

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.

Cannot recommend this tour enough, was considering hiring a campervan but I am so glad we booked onto the tour. We did Perth to Broome and the trip is organised perfectly. Kasey was an outstanding tour guide with brilliant knowledge of everywhere we went. The sea life and sunsets in WA is unmatched compared to anywhere else in Australia. If you are debating booking this tour, do it you won’t regret it.

My partner and I did this tour through Western Australia over 3 years ago now, and honestly, it still stands out as one of the absolute highlights of our time in Australia.
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.

Had such an Amazing time with why not bus on their June tour this year.
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 absolutely loved our time with the WhyNot bus. The tour itself is very well organised so that you get to see all the main spots along the coast without feeling rushed. There’s a big push towards socialising early on which helps create a relaxing atmosphere as you’ll be spending a lot of time together. There were plenty of solo travellers!
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.

Loved my time on this tour! I usually stick to solo travel and had never done a big group trip like this before, but it ended up being such an easy and fun way to see a lot of WA without the stress (or cost) of doing it myself. The itinerary was super well organized but never felt rushed. It was definitely a social vibe, and I met some absolutely lovely people who I’m sure will be lifelong friends! Also, highly recommend doing the whale sharks!!! Well worth it
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 ☺️

We had the best time on the Why Not Bus tour — the stunning views, especially during the daily sunsets, and the epic hikes at Karijini and Kalbarri were definite highlights.
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!

I recently finished up an awesome trip with these guys in April 2025. Our tour guide, James, made the trip incredible. He’s super patient, organised, and knows the WA coast like the back of his hand. On top of that, he was a heap of fun—he made sure everyone was having a great time, whether you were a big partier or an early riser.
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.

Such an amazing trip. Kit our tour guide was brilliant so organised and laid back. The trip itself takes you to hidden gems of WA with incredible scenery and wildlife. The fact that we didn’t have to drive was amazing and it was organised really well so we maximised our time and got to see so much more than we would have on our own. The accommodations were all perfect, even the camping was great. Exmouth was the highlight and the Ningaloo where Kit took us to some amazing snorkelling spots. Karinjini National Park was also unbelievable. Overall I couldn’t recommend the Why Not Bus more, a fantastic way to see the best part of Australia with no stress!!

Why Not Bus gave me the adventure of a lifetime! From the moment we hit the road, it was clear this was no ordinary trip.
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!
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.

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.

Unreal tour and definitely the best way to see the west coast of aus - packed so much in the twelve days starting from perth all the way up to broome. Great tour and had so much fun with the group - kit was a brilliant tourguide !

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. 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.
