Day 1 - Perth to Horrocks
We enter the Nambung National Park to explore the mysterious Pinnacles Desert and then discover some massive sand dunes. There’s the opportunity to sand board down the slopes, before continuing on through Geraldton to our accommodation. (LD)

Day 2 - Horrocks to Shark Bay
It’s a short drive to the Kalbarri National Park where we explore Murchison Gorge, Natures Window, the Loop and Z-Bend Gorge (it’s a steep descent but worth the effort for a refreshing swim). There’s also the option to abseil here (own expense). After lunch we visit beautiful Shell Beach as we travel towards Denham and Shark Bay. (BLD)

Day 3 - Shark Bay to Coral Bay
After a short drive across the Peron Peninsula we make our way down to the beach and the world famous Monkey Mia dolphins – it’s a unique experience with some fantastic photo opportunities. As we travel towards Carnarvon, we stop to view the fascinating Stromatolites at Hamelin Pool. After a break in our journey at Carnarvon we continue along the highway to Coral Bay, the Jewel of the North. (BLD)

Day 4 - Coral Bay to Exmouth
Today is yours to explore Coral Bay and the wonders of the Ningaloo Reef and its fantastic marine life. You can go snorkelling, cruise on the glass bottom boat, take a quad bike tour or even a joy flight over the reef (all at additional expense). Today is a day to relax. Late afternoon and its time for the short drive into Exmouth. (BLD)

Day 5 - Exmouth
Today we explore Yardie Creek in the Cape Range National Park, have a swim, snorkel or sunbathe at beautiful Turquoise Bay and admire the view from historic Vlahming Head Lighthouse. We return to our hostel late afternoon. (BL)

Day 6 - Exmouth to Karijini National Park
Heading inland through the vast cattle stations of the Pilbara region, our destination is the oasis of Karijini. This afternoon we pass through Tom Price, a little town known for its iron ore mining, before reaching our camp overlooking the magnificent Hamersley Range. (LD)

Days 7 & 8 - Karijini National Park
Two full days of adventure is the perfect amount of time needed to explore Karijini National Park and its amazing gorges. Formed over 2,500 million years ago, the Hamersley Ranges are some of the most unusual landforms on earth. Deep in the gorges you’ll come across cascading waterfalls and fresh, still waterholes – perfect for swimming. Dales Gorge, Fortesque Falls, Fern Pool, Circular Pool, Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge are just some of the stunning areas we’ll get to. Definitely a highlight! (BLD)

Day 9 - Karijini National Park to Pardoo Station
We depart Karijini this morning and travel towards the coast and the iron ore port of Port Hedland. We have time for a quick town tour and marvel at the sheer size of the iron ore industry. After lunch we continue on towards Pardoo Station, where we spend our last night together. (BLD)

Day 10 - Pardoo Station to Broome
En-route to Broome we enjoy a leisurely break and take in the glory of the stretching sands of the 80 Mile Beach. Enjoy a stroll along the beach and get some fantastic photos, before our final leg into Broome. (BL)
