B = Breakfast | L = Lunch | D = Dinner

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 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)

Day 2 - Kalbarri to Shark Bay
It’s an early start this morning for a short drive to Murchison Gorge in the Kalbarri National Park. Here we explore Nature’s Window and Z-Bend Gorge which is an exhilarating 150 metre descent into the heart of the gorge. Be rewarded with a swim in the tranquil water pools (seasonal). Feeling adventurous? Give abseiling a go (own expense). In the afternoon we head towards Monkey Mia and enter the Shark Bay World Heritage area. Along the way we stop at beautiful Shell Beach before reaching our overnight stop at Denham. (BLD)

Day 3 - Shark Bay to Coral Bay
We hit the beach this morning and make our way to see 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 (time permitting). From Carnarvon we finish the day by driving the highway to Coral Bay, the Jewel of the North. (BLD)
Day 4 - Coral Bay and Exmouth
It’s time to explore! Spend today discovering the wonders of the Ningaloo Reef and its fantastic marine wildlife. Snorkelling, cruising on a glassbottom boat, quad bike tours or a joy flight over the reef are just some of the ways you can check out this beautiful aquatic sanctuary (all at own expense). Late this afternoon we make the short trip to Exmouth. (BLD)

Day 5 - Exmouth
Another day of freedom and relaxation! You can head underwater to go diving (optional) or we’ll tour around the area including great snorkelling and lazing on the beach at Turquoise Bay. We will also take a short walk at Yardie Creek. Late afternoon farewell your guide and group and remain in Exmouth (accommodation is not included). (BL)

Days 6 & 7 - Exmouth to Perth
We hit the road at 6.30am 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. (Day 6: BLD; Day 7: BL)
