Itinerary

  • Day 1 Welcome to Perth. Welcome to Perth. Almost two weeks of adventures lie before you, the first a tour of Perth with your Travel Director. The vibrant Western Australian capital has a lot to offer, including fascinating art galleries. It's remarkably green, with 400-hectare Kings Park and Botanic Garden sitting pretty in the CBD, on a lazy bend of the serpentine Swan River. Two thirds of the grounds are reserved for native plants, but there are also seasonal wildflowers, all enveloping the Anzac Memorial. Meet up again this evening for a Welcome Dinner. Accommodation Crowne Plaza Perth Included Meals Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 2 Perth to Geraldton. Two wilderness highs provide a fitting start to this journey of contrasts. Venturing north, you soon reach Yanchep National Park. Here, on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience, your Aboriginal guide's Dreamtime stories tell the tale of how the land was created from an Aboriginal perspective. This tour is hands-on. Think tasting native bush tucker, smelling medicinal plants, and maybe even trying to play the didgeridoo. Think the day couldn't get any better? Think again. Within Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles create a moonscape that appears plucked from a sci-fi film, its staggering collection of natural limestone structures jutting into the sky - some are 3.5 metres high. For all their mysterious appeal, geologists tell us the spires were formed 30,000 years ago when an inland sea receded. It's a spiritual place. Arriving in Geraldton, pay homage to sailors lost off the WA coast during WWII at the HMAS Sydney Memorial. Accommodation Nesuto Geraldton Apartment Hotel Included Meals Full Breakfast.
  • Day 3 Geraldton to Monkey Mia. Arriving at Kalbarri National Park, enjoy spectacular views from the Kalbarri Skywalk over the Murchison River Gorge. If you're here during wildflower season, expect acacia, banksia, and caladenia in full bloom. And just when you thought the outlook couldn't get any better, you arrive at Monkey Mia. Accommodation Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 4 Monkey Mia Free Time. Every morning, Monkey Mia's wild dolphins swim close to shore where the National Park Rangers explain the feeding habits of these friendly mammals that they know by name. After watching the famous dolphins swim into shore (Note: As dolphins are wild their appearance cannot be guaranteed) enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the calm waters of the bay. The rest of the day is free for you to explore or relax. Accommodation Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort Included Meals Full Breakfast.
  • Day 5 Monkey Mia to Carnarvon. Prepare yourself for the 'living fossils' at Hamelin Pool, home to the most abundant colony of stromatolites in the world. These astounding creatures show us what life was like 3,500-million years ago, when there was no other complex life on Earth. You're officially in the state's World Heritage listed Shark Bay, the largest of its kind in Australia with more than 1,000 kilometres of beaches. Not all of them sandy - welcome to Shell Beach. Here, the snow-white colour comes from billions of tiny coquina bivalve shells, up to 10 metres deep and stretching for 70 kilometres. From this thriving marine ecosystem to overhead attractions, your next stop is the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum. Did you know it played a role in the 1969 moon landing, and was instrumental in the space race? These are among the gallery's claims to fame, as you'll discover touring the collection. Accommodation Best Western Hospitality Inn Carnarvon Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 6 Carnarvon to Exmouth. You don't need to get your hair wet to experience the sheer wonderment of Ningaloo Reef. A Coral Bay glass-bottom boat cruise jettisons you within a whisker of turtles, colourful coral and an embarrassment of fish - some 500 species have been recorded. You won't know where to look, although your on-board naturalist will help guide your gaze. This is part of the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Coast, a popular hangout among larger-than-life migratory marine life. Like whale sharks, the world's largest fish, which amass here between March and August every year. Before you settle into your plush Exmouth hotel, admire the curves of the coastline from Vlamingh Head Lighthouse. Your gaze will hold firmly on the ocean for the next couple of days. Accommodation Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 7 Exmouth Free Time. Steel yourself for a few 'pinch-me' moments today. Opt to snorkel (with an ethical operator) over Ningaloo Reef. Time your visit right, and you could have whale sharks and humpback whales in your company. Nothing quite prepares you for the moment you glimpse these gentle giants up close, gliding gracefully through schools of fish. It's a full day of unbridled, and unrivalled, marine immersion. Accommodation Mantarays to Ningaloo Beach Resort Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 8 Exmouth to Karratha. Take one last look over the Exmouth waters before continuing north to Western Australia's famous Pilbara region. Known for its rich cultural landscape, red earth and vast mineral deposits, the region's diverse landscape will fascinate you. Accommodation Comfort Inn, Karratha Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 9 Karratha to Karijini National Park Tom Price. It took billions of years to create the geological wonders of Karijini: the striking red escarpments and the quiet gorges all enveloped by tall gums and pocked with enormous termite mounds. You have a single day to explore, so bring your stamina and sense of adventure. You're heading deep into the national park, which covers 630,000 hectares just north of the Tropic of Capricorn. It's WA's second-largest national park, and the scale can be daunting. Thankfully, you're in the company of a guide who knows all the hidden nooks and cool waterholes just begging for a swim. Things get hot here - why not dive in? Accommodation Tom Price Motel Included Meals Full Breakfast.
  • Day 10 Tom Price to Port Hedland. At first glimpse of the Pilbara, you may well think you've been transported to Mars, the ethereal landscape almost glowing in the sun. The soil couldn't get any redder, the skies any wider, the rock formations any more dramatic, with much of the countryside streaked with mineral deposits. People are few and far between until you reach the town of Port Hedland. Accommodation Hospitality Port Hedland Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 11 Port Hedland to Broome. Skirting the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, your morning outlook is flat - almost as far as the eye can see, the sand eventually giving way to mountain ranges and then multicultural Broome. The city delivers many surprises, from its eclectic restaurants and colourful Chinatown to its long pearling history - the pristine waters produce some of the most prized pearl oysters in the world, and fortune-seekers from around the world descended during the region's 'pearl rush'. It's time to discover Broome's other standout attraction: its sunsets. Follow locals to the sand on Cable Beach, which is so long that it can accommodate 4WDs, camel trains and foot traffic, and salute your arrival in Broome. Accommodation Cable Beach Club Resort Included Meals Full Breakfast, Dinner with Wine.
  • Day 12 Broome Free Time. Today you have a full free day to explore this tropical hideaway. Take your time to discover the charms of the town, indulge in the delightful pearl boutiques, and embark on a leisurely stroll along the magnificent Cable Beach, stretching over 22 kilometres. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Chinatown, with its colourful streets and cultural offerings. If you're feeling more adventurous, you can choose to embark on an optional tour that will take you to breathtaking destinations. One such experience is a visit to a pearl farm, where you can witness the fascinating process of pearl cultivation and learn about the rich history of the industry. Marvel at the intricate craftsmanship and discover the allure of these exquisite gems. Alternatively, you may opt to venture further afield and explore the natural wonders of the area. Speak to your Travel Director about the possibility of joining a scenic flight, soaring above the landscape to witness the awe-inspiring sights from above. Accommodation Cable Beach Club Resort. Included Meals Full Breakfast.
