Perth to Exmouth 5 or 7 Day Tour
Western Australia
Day 1 - Perth to Kalbarri
Jump aboard as we head north to Nambung National Park and explore the fascinating formations of the Pinnacles Desert. Our journey continues along coastal roads passing by seaside fishing towns until we arrive at some local sand dunes. Get ready for an adrenaline hit! Sand-boarding on local dunes will get your blood rushing. In the afternoon we pass through the major port of Geraldton, before reaching our overnight stop in the seaside resort town of Kalbarri.(LD), (H).
Day 2 - Shark Bay
It’s an early start this morning for a short drive to Murchison Gorge in Kalbarri National Park. Here, we explore Nature’s Window, the Loop and Z-Bend Gorge - an exhilarating 150 metre descent into the heart of the gorge - before an invigorating swim in the tranquil water pools (seasonal). Feeling adventurous? Give abseiling a go (at own expense). Lunch is well-earned today! In the afternoon we head towards Monkey Mia and enter Shark Bay World Heritage area, stopping at gorgeous Shell Beach before reaching our overnight stop at Denham (BLD), (H).
Day 3 - Shark Bay to Coral Bay
We hit the beach after a short drive across the Peron Peninsula and make our way to the world famous Monkey Mia dolphins - have your camera ready for some great shots of these entrancing animals. From here, we head to Carnarvon, with a stop at a banana plantation (the chocolate coated frozen bananas sold here are a yummy treat!) From Carnarvon we finish the day by driving the highway to Coral Bay, the Jewel of the North. (B,L,D), (H).
Day 4 - Coral Bay & Exmouth
It’s time to explore! Spend today discovering the wonders of the Ningaloo Reef and its fantastic marine wildlife. Snorkelling, cruising on a glass-bottom boat, quad bike tours or a joy flight over the reef are just some of the ways you can check out this beautiful aquatic park (all at own expense). Late this afternoon we make the short trip to Exmouth. (BLD), (H).
Day 5 - Exmouth
Another day of freedom and relaxation! Laze around on the beach or head underwater to go diving (optional). Otherwise, we’ll tour around the area including Turquoise Bay and Yardie Creek. (BL), (H).
Day 6 & 7 - Exmouth to Perth
We hit the road at 7.00am to begin our trip back to Perth, staying overnight at Northbrook Farmstay for our last evening together. In the morning, it’s a short trip to the Principality of Hutt River, where you’ll be fascinated with Prince Leonard’s story and why he seceded from Australia - a unique story! Bring your passport along to add another stamp! From here, our journey south towards Perth continues. Along the way we stop at Greenough Wildlife Park, which is home to a python breeding centre. Get friendly with a snake (and other native animals) if you’re game! We arrive back in Perth in the late afternoon, where we farewell our new friends. (BLD day 6, BL day 7), (FS).
