Itinerary

Day 1: Perth – Geraldton

After pick-up from your hotel, we are leaving Perth headed north along the coast towards Cervantes, the entrance to Nambung National Park. The Pinnacles are among the most visited natural wonders of the state. Thousands of limestone pillars rise out of a stark landscape of yellow sand. There is ample time to explore the area and take some colourful photos from these amazing formations. These impressions of lights and colours will stay with you for many years to come. We head north along the coast via Jurien Bay and Leeman towards Geraldton, the sunniest town in WA. A visit to Mount Scott gives you the opportunity of an outlook over the town of Geraldton and Grey’s Bay. Here is also the memorial for the victims of the sunken warship HMAS Sydney II. Our sightseeing tour concludes with a visit to the architecturally interesting St Francis Xavier Cathedral in the town centre.

Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Geraldton

Day 2: Geraldton – Kalbarri B

The beautiful aerial scenic flight includes flying over the fascinating islands in the Pelsaert Group, the Easter Group and the Wallabi Group. In 1629, this was the scene of the famous mutiny of the Batavia. Back on dry land, we enter the Kalbarri National Park via Port Gregory. You can experience some of the most picturesque grazing land as well as the rough coastline. In the early evening, we will arrive in the “laid back village” of Kalbarri.

Accommodation: Kalbarri Edge Resort, Kalbarri

Day 3: Kalbarri – Monkey Mia B

After breakfast, we farewell Kalbarri. We continue into the Kalbarri National Park with breathtaking views down to the Murchison Gorge. Depending on the season, our drive through the Kalbarri National Park to the World Heritage area of Shark Bay will be escorted by the famous wildflowers. In the afternoon, we arrive in Monkey Mia, home of the well-known dolphins. Nearly every day of the year, they come to the shore to give you a unique experience that will never be forgotten. There is time for relaxing and swimming on this beautiful beach. Before dinner, you will be taken on a catamaran cruise to experience the silent sensation of sailing and capture the five-star view of the coastline.

Accommodation: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Shark Bay

Day 4: Monkey Mia – Carnarvon B

In the morning, you have the opportunity to come face to face with the famous dolphins. Before our next stop at Shell Beach, we pay homage to this World Heritage area with a visit to the Shark Bay Interpretative Centre in Denham. We will stop again, this time at Hamelin Pool where the world best known colony of stromatolites can be admired. Typical “Outback Australian impressions” will accompany you on the drive to Carnarvon.

Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Carnarvon

Day 5: Carnarvon – Exmouth (Ningaloo Reef) B

After enjoying breakfast, our today’s desination will be beautiful Coral Bay. Here, we will encounter the 260km long natural wonder of the Ningaloo Reef. Specialists say that the marine life of this reef is more abundant than that found at the Great Barrier Reef. As the reef is not far from shore, it can be readily discovered with the aid of a snorkel and flippers on an outing in a glass-bottom boat. The shallow water of the reef is the homelhome to various sea creatures, such as corals, unusual sea stars, crustaceans and over 500 species of different fish. In the afternoon, we take up our journey to Exmouth.

Accommodation: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort, Exmouth

Day 6: Exmouth (Cape Range National Park / Ningaloo Reef) B

Breathtaking views from Vlaming Head Lighthouse across North West Cape, beautiful Ningaloo Reef and gigantic antennas of the Naval Communication Station Harold E Holt. During a boat cruise*, we explore the Yardie Creek Gorge in the Cape Range National Park and look out for some rare inhabitants, Black Footed Rock Wallabies and other animal inhabitants. Turquoise Bay creates the perfect scenes for some relaxation, contemplation on the many impressions of the past days, and the temptation of the effervescent Indian Ocean for a refreshing swim. Late afternoon we return our accommodation in Exmouth.
