Description

Embark on a 6-day adventure from Perth to the Coral Coast and Ningaloo Reef. Explore the Pinnacles, Kalbarri National Park, Shark Bay, and Ningaloo Reef before finishing in Exmouth.
Day 1: Perth to Kalbarri
Journey up the Coral Coast, where the adventure begins in the desert. Stop at Nambung National Park to explore The Pinnacles, eerie limestone spires rising from the sand.

Continue to Geraldton, famed for rock lobster, pearls, and shipwrecks. If time allows, visit the seasonal Pink Lake before overnighting in Kalbarri.

Day 2: Kalbarri National Park to Shark Bay
Marvel at the dramatic landscapes of Kalbarri National Park, where the Murchison River carves deep gorges lined with red river gums. Soak in breathtaking views from Nature’s Window and Z-Bend lookouts, or for thrill-seekers, try abseiling.

End the day in Denham, the gateway to Shark Bay.

Day 3: Shark Bay to Coral Bay
Be captivated by Monkey Mia’s marine wonders, where seagrass meadows attract turtles, whale sharks, dolphins, and dugongs. Then, witness Hamelin Pool’s 3-billion-year-old Stromatolites—living fossils forming a carpet beside the sea.

Wrap up the day watching the sunset in Coral Bay.

Day 4: Coral Bay
Explore the underwater paradise of Ningaloo Reef, home to 250 coral species and 500 fish species. Snorkel just metres from shore or opt for a boat tour (extra cost) to swim with turtles and manta rays.

Spend the night in Exmouth.

Day 5: Exmouth to Cape Range National Park
Choose between an unforgettable swim with whale sharks (extra cost) or exploring Cape Range National Park, where rugged limestone ranges meet deep canyons and pristine beaches. Spot native wildlife like emus, kangaroos, and bustards.

Cool off at Turquoise Bay before soaking in a spectacular sunset at Vlamingh Head Lighthouse.

Day 6: Departure Day
If you get up very early, join your fellow travellers for the last meal of the tour. Your tour ends this morning.
