No hidden cost on our tours. Look closely at the value for money with our amazing inclusions!
Day 1: Pinnacles National Park & Geraldton

Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting in Perth at 8:30am with your tour guide, before we set out for the trendy seaside resort of Geraldton. But this isn’t just any journey. We’ll stop off along the way to take in the largest dunes in WA and the mysterious alien-like limestone towers of the Pinnacles at Nambung National Park, as well as checking out the Leaning Trees of Greenough and the lovely Jurien Bay, where you might spot a sea lion or two. In Geraldton we have an orientation drive around town before dinner, drinks, and a chance to get to know everyone.
Day 2: Northampton First Nations Gallery & Kalbarri National Park

After a leisurely breakfast, we head to historical Northampton, one of the oldest towns in Western Australia. We’ll catch some heritage buildings dating back to the 1800s, and meet the artists at a First Nations gallery. Next up: the Pink Lake at Hutt Lagoon, which truly lives up to its name, before gazing in awe at the wind-eroded sandstone of Nature’s Window, the spectacular Z-Bend Gorge, and the Kalbarri Skywalk at Kalbarri National Park.
Day 3: Shark Bay & Monkey Mia

It’s an ocean-themed day today. Jump on a boat at the Kalbarri Marina to learn about the local rock lobster industry – and even pull up some lobster pots yourself. Keep your catch to enjoy later that evening! Then it’s one sealife legend to another, as we head off to scenic Monkey Mia, where the local Dolphin population thrives. Stop via the Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve for some ‘living fossils’, and one of Shark Bay’s picturesque lookouts. Put your feet up at Monkey Mia or hit the water, before an evening of First Nations experience courtesy of the Nhanda and Malgana people. This is your chance to try the didgeridoo or traditional conch shell, and taste some bush tucker.
Day 4: Shark Bay & Monkey Mia

Here’s a post-breakfast activity you don’t get every day: Bottlenose dolphin-spotting with WA Parks & Wildlife experts. Learn a bit about these magnificent animals, and then take some well-earned time off to relax on the beach, snap photos to make the folks back home jealous, or sit at the bar and watch the wildlife go by. If you fancy it, there’s a sunset cruise, and you’re invited, feel free to bring a sundowner with you. If you’re lucky you might spot the elusive sea cows, or ‘Dugongs’.
Day 5: Carnarvon

It’s definitely a more spaced out day as we head to Carnarvon Space and Technology Centre for a quick photo stop. It was created to support NASA’s Gemini, Apollo and Skylab programs. Next up, we visit the Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Centre to learn about the region’s unique culture and country from its First Nations custodians. Snap pictures of the Carnarvon Cactus Farm, one of the town’s quirkiest sights, before heading to the Gascoyne Food Trail. The trail features everything from bananas, avocados, to beans, beef, ice cream, and mangoes. Relax tonight – take the chance for a stroll along the beautiful foreshore and head to a local restaurant.
Day 6: Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef & Exmouth

Today we are off Coral Bay, home to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, the world's largest fringing reef. We'll embark on a glass-bottom boat tour and snorkel experience to see up to 250 species of coral and 500 species of fish. Further along the coast we visit Vlamingh Head Lighthouse, with stunning views, then rest up in Exmouth town.
Day 7: Exmouth

It’s your day. Experience a swim with the world famous whale sharks, go whale-spotting, swim with manta rays, or get your hiking boots on – the choice is yours. You can select your optional adventure when you book your tour, or your guide can help you get set up. Please note: Public transport is non-existent in Exmouth, so pre planning your activities is a must!
Day 8: Exmouth

None. Book now and experience it for yourself.

No hidden cost on our tours. Look closely at the value for money with our amazing inclusions!

Day 1: Pinnacles National Park & Geraldton  

Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting in Perth at 8:30am with your tour guide, before we set out for the trendy seaside resort of Geraldton. But this isn’t just any journey. We’ll stop off along the way to take in the largest dunes in WA and the mysterious alien-like limestone towers of the Pinnacles at Nambung National Park, as well as checking out the Leaning Trees of Greenough and the lovely Jurien Bay, where you might spot a sea lion or two. In Geraldton we have an orientation drive around town before dinner, drinks, and a chance to get to know everyone.

Day 2: Northampton First Nations Gallery & Kalbarri National Park

After a leisurely breakfast, we head to historical Northampton, one of the oldest towns in Western Australia. We’ll catch some heritage buildings dating back to the 1800s, and meet the artists at a First Nations gallery. Next up: the Pink Lake at Hutt Lagoon, which truly lives up to its name, before gazing in awe at the wind-eroded sandstone of Nature’s Window, the  spectacular Z-Bend Gorge, and the Kalbarri Skywalk at Kalbarri National Park.

Day 3: Shark Bay & Monkey Mia  

It’s an ocean-themed day today. Jump on a boat at the Kalbarri Marina to learn about the local rock lobster industry – and even pull up some lobster pots yourself. Keep your catch to enjoy later that evening! Then it’s one sealife legend to another, as we head off to scenic Monkey Mia, where the local Dolphin population thrives. Stop via the Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve for some ‘living fossils’, and one of Shark Bay’s picturesque lookouts. Put your feet up at Monkey Mia or hit the water, before an evening of First Nations experience courtesy of the Nhanda and Malgana people. This is your chance to  try the didgeridoo or traditional conch shell, and taste some bush tucker.

Day 4: Shark Bay & Monkey Mia  

Here’s a post-breakfast activity you don’t get every day: Bottlenose dolphin-spotting with WA Parks & Wildlife experts. Learn a bit about these magnificent animals, and then take some well-earned time off to relax on the beach, snap photos to make the folks back home jealous, or sit at the bar and watch the wildlife go by. If you fancy it, there’s a sunset cruise, and you’re invited, feel free to bring a sundowner with you. If you’re lucky you might spot  the elusive sea cows, or ‘Dugongs’.

Day 5: Carnarvon  

It’s definitely a more spaced out day as we head to Carnarvon Space and Technology Centre  for a quick photo stop. It was created to support NASA’s Gemini, Apollo and Skylab programs. Next up, we visit the Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Centre to learn about the region’s unique culture and country from its First Nations custodians. Snap pictures of the Carnarvon Cactus Farm, one of the town’s quirkiest sights, before heading to the Gascoyne Food Trail. The trail features everything from bananas, avocados, to beans, beef, ice cream, and mangoes. Relax tonight – take the chance for a stroll along the beautiful foreshore and head to a local restaurant.

Day 6: Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef & Exmouth

Today we are off Coral Bay, home to the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, the world's largest fringing reef. We'll embark on a glass-bottom boat tour and snorkel experience to see up to 250 species of coral and 500 species of fish. Further along the coast we visit Vlamingh Head Lighthouse, with stunning views, then rest up in Exmouth town.

Day 7: Exmouth 

It’s your day. Experience a swim with the world famous whale sharks, go whale-spotting, swim with manta rays, or get your hiking boots on – the choice is yours. You can select your  optional adventure when you book your tour, or your guide can help you get set up. Please note: Public transport is non-existent in Exmouth, so pre planning your activities is a must!

Day 8: Exmouth
