Tour Description

Day 1 Perth – Kalbarri (H)
We depart Perth and head North through market gardens and vineyards to join up with Highway 1 on our way to Nambung National Park and the fascinating Pinnacles Desert. After exploring these unique formations we continue our journey northwards along coastal roads to Geraldton.
After a short break we head out to some local sand dunes for an adrenalin rush sand boarding down these huge slopes. From here we continue on to Kalbarri and our overnight accommodation. (L,D)
Day 2 Kalbarri – Shark Bay (H)
After an early rise we take a short drive to Murchison Gorge in Kalbarri National Park. Here we take time to view Natures Window, the Loop and discover the wonders of the Z-Bend Gorge. At Z-Bend Gorge it is an exhilarating 150 metre descent into the heart of the gorge – well worth the effort – where there is time to explore and swim in the tranquil fresh water pools. For the adventurous there is even an opportunity to try your hand at abseiling (optional activity at additional cost).
After a well earned lunch it’s time to make our way toward Monkey Mia, stopping at the beautiful Shell Beach and then onto Denham for our overnight stop. (B,L,D)
Day 3 Shark Bay – Coral Bay (H)
After a short drive across the Peron Peninsula we make our way down to the beach and the world famous Monkey Mia dolphins – it’s a unique experience and there are some fantastic photo opportunities.
All too soon its time to continue our journey northwards, stopping at a Carnarvon banana plantation where they sell yummy chocolate coated frozen bananas. From Carnarvon we finish the day by driving the highway into Coral Bay, the Jewel of the North West (B,L,D)
Day 4 Coral Bay - Exmouth (H)
Today is yours to explore the wonders of the Ningaloo Reef and its fantastic marine wildlife. You can go snorkeling, cruise on the glass bottom boat, take a quad bike tour or even a joy flight over the reef (all optional extras). Today is a day to relax.

Late afternoon and its time for the short drive into Exmouth. (B,L,D)
Day 5 Exmouth (H)
A day in Exmouth to relax. Laze on the beach or go diving (optional) or perhaps jump on the bus and tour around the area including Turquoise Bay and Yardie Creek. (B,L)
