Australia's west coast boasts some of the world's best beaches, relatively untouched by tourism, set against a backdrop of lush rainforest and rugged outback terrain. Our adventure takes us from Broome to Perth, bringing you face-to-face with the region's natural wonders and exposing you to an exciting range of unique experiences. The distances are vast, amenities sometimes sparse and isolation palpable, but the rewards rich beyond belief.
Itinerary
Day 1 Broome
Hop on the Heritage Trail, hit the beach or check out the latest flick at the world's oldest outdoor cinema; the choices are endless in Broome.
Day 2 Eighty Mile Beach
Step into the pages of history at Broome's Japanese cemetery. Then hit the road and head to Eighty Mile Beach, soaking up spectacular coastline vistas on the way. Arrive in time to catch the sun setting over the Indian Ocean.
Days 3-4 Karijini National Park
Swap the ocean for the Outback at Karijini National Park. With its combination of dramatic gorges, tumbling waterfalls and swimming holes, this park will impress. Swap stories around the campfire, sleep under the stars and marvel at the sheer vastness of the Outback.
Days 5-6 Coral Bay
Swim, snorkel or scuba dive in Coral Bay, an ocean sanctuary for whale sharks, dugongs, manta rays and sea turtles. At Ningaloo Marine Park, Western Australia's largest coral reef, strap on a snorkel to see over 200 species of coral. There's plenty to do here in free time.
Days 10-11 Perth
Visit the famous Pinnacles in Nambung National Park. Then, catch a game of AFL, hit the shops or head to Rottnest Island; there's something in Perth for every taste.
Days 7-8 Monkey Mia
Enjoy a close encounter with dolphins at Monkey Mia. Every day a number of dolphins swim into the clear shallows of the bay to interact with humans. At night embark on a cultural tour of Gathaagudu (Shark Bay) with our Indigenous hosts.
Day 9 Kalbarri National Park
After time spent exploring the rugged Kalbarri National Park, relax by a campfire at an outback ranch next to the Murchison River.
