Tour Description

A journey combining three of Western Australia's renowned northern icons, the magical wild Dolphins of Monkey Mia, gorges of Kalbarri and the mystical Pinnacles Desert.

Day 1: Perth to Monkey Mia (L, D)
We journey north via the 'lobster fishing' town of Port Denison where we stop for lunch by the waters edge. We continue north across the Greenough Flats, better known for unusual 'leaning trees', travel via Geraldton and Northampton to the world heritage listed area of Shark Bay to our overnight accommodation located at the Monkey Mia beach where the dolphins come in.

Optional Activities at Monkey Mia – Complete your experience at Monkey Mia on Saturday and take the popular 1 hour “Shotover” Dolphin Spotting Cruise for just $34 per person.

Dinner & Overnight: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort or similar (motel room with ensuite bathroom).

Day 2: Monkey Mia to Kalbarri (B, L, D)
As our accommodation is located right at the dolphin interaction beach, you can spend extra time at the waters edge this morning where you may encounter a visit by the famous Monkey Mia dolphins. As they are wild, dolphin appearances can't be guaranteed but coming in at regular times through the day to interact with people has been a ritual for many years.

Maximise your Monkey Mia visit by joining an optional 1 hour wildlife sailing cruise aboard the award-winning, awesome 18 metre sailing catamaran 'Shotover'. Seasonally meet dolphins, dugongs, turtles, sharks, sting-rays and sea-snakes (unconditional monkey-back guarantee). For a special package price of just $34 per person, take this cruise along with a Astronomy Beach Talk (see day 1 activity note).

This afternoon we visit the town of Denham for lunch, incredible Shell Beach and Stromatolites before travelling south to Kalbarri. Known for wildflowers (best seen July to October) and magnificent rocky landscapes we visit Hawks Head in Kalbarri National Park, one of the areas most spectacular red river gorges.

Dinner & Overnight: Best Western Kalbarri Palms Resort or similar (motel room with ensuite bathroom).

Day 3: Kalbarri to Perth (B, L)
Homeward bound, we enjoy sightseeing along the Kalbarri coastal gorges then travel south breaking for lunch at the rock lobster fishing village of Cervantes - gateway to the renowned Pinnacles Desert, an amazing moon-like landscape and truly one of Australias most mystical experiences. Time will be allowed to stroll among these limestone spires and take photographs, with arrival back in Perth at approximately 7.00 pm.
