We begin today’s journey via Perth’s wine growing region, the picturesque Swan Valley. New Norcia, the only Benedictine Mission in Western Australia and its Spanish atmosphere will invite you to a break. This carefully chosen, beautiful piece of land represents an important era of Australian history. We head north towards Geraldton, the sunniest town in W.A. Cruising along the coastal road we enter the Kalbarri National Park via Port Gregory. You can experience some of the most picturesque grazing land as well as the rough coastline. In the early evening we will arrive in the “laid back village” of Kalbarri.Day 2 Kalbarri – Monkey Mia
After breakfast we farewell Kalbarri. We continue into the Kalbarri National Park with breathtaking views down to the Murchison Gorge. Drive to the World Heritage area of Shark Bay where we stop at Hamelin Pool where the world best known colony of stromatolites can be admired. In the afternoon we arrive in Monkey Mia, home of the well-known dolphins. We will take a cruise on a catamaran to experience the silent sensation of sailing and capture the five-star view of the coastline.Day 3 Monkey Mia – Denham

Day 4 Denham – Francois Peron National Park
Today we will be exploring the close-by amazing Francois Peron National Park. It allows immersing you in nature and feel the energy of this world class park to where the red sand from the desert kisses the beautiful turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. We visit Point Peron and spectacular Skipjack Point. We look for turtles, rays and dugongs (seasonal). On the way back, we will watch out for lizards, birds and rare and endangered wildlife.Day 5 Denham – Gascoyne Junction

Enjoy a full day of exploring the magnificent mountain tailored to the likings and fitness level of the group. Walk some of the eleven amazing trails, visit engrossing Aboriginal art sites and learn about the Wajarri’s spiritual connection to the land and about the history of the first European pioneers. For sunset drinks we settle down on a little hill which offers breathtaking views of the mountain and, finally, after dinner it’s time for stargazing.Day 8 Mt. Augustus – Carnarvon
Today we enjoy the magnificent sunrise from a lookout before we slowly make our way back to the coast. Return to Carnarvon via the same route but this time with multiple stops along the way to appreciate the unique Outback.
