Itinerary
Day One (L/D)
The tour kicks off from Perth, where we’ll head straight to the Pinnacles Desert to discover a unique and historic landscape. You’ll take a guided tour amongst the jutting limestone peaks and head to the Discovery Centre. We’ll have lunch against the sea before moving on to the town of Geraldton and Big River Ranch, where we’ll spend the night.
Day Two (B, L, D)
Day two starts with a visit to Muchison Gorge, Natures Window, and Z-Bend in the lush confines of the Kalbarri National Park. If you want to get adventurous, you can try your hand at abseiling into the gorge before cooling off in the sparkling waters of the Murchison River. Then we’ll head north to pretty Shell Beach and the Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort for the night.
Day Three (B, L, D)
On the third day, you can meet the beautiful famous Monkey Mia Dolphins. At the resort, you can get up close and personal with them for some once-in-a-lifetime photo opportunities before taking an optional one-hour sail through the sea to spot even more mesmerising marine life. Alternatively, you can opt to take a kayak around the coastline or simply kick back and relax on the stunning expanse of beach. In the afternoon, we’ll make our way to the Stromatolites before bedding down for the night in the Kalbarri township.
Day Four (B, L)
The final day starts with a trip to Pot Alley, a stunning ocean gorge that is surrounded by breath-taking scenery. After you’ve soaked up the views, we’ll move on to the Greenough Wildlife Park, where you can hand feed the resident kangaroos and spot the friendly snakes. The tour ends with an adventurous foray into the world of sand boarding on the Lancelin Dunes. You’ll be able to whizz down the sandy peaks at high speed, exploring the desert landscape from a different perspective. Finally, we’ll head back to Perth via the stunning Western scenery.
