Itinerary
Day 1: Perth - Geraldton
We depart from Perth and head north. The journey takes us through Lancelin to Cervantes, the entrance to Nambung National Park. The Pinnacles, some of the most visited natural wonders of the state, lie in a flat desert landscape that seems almost surreal. Thousands of bizarre limestone pillars, up to five meters high, provide breathtaking photo opportunities. After a scenic drive along the coast through Jurien Bay and Leeman, we arrive in Geraldton, the sunniest city in Western Australia. We will visit Mount Scott, offering an overview of Geraldton and Grey’s Bay, and hosting a memorial for the HMAS Sydney II. The day concludes with a visit to the architecturally unique St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in central Geraldton.
Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Geraldton
Day 2: Geraldton - Kalbarri B
In the morning, we fly to the Wallabi Islands in the Houtman-Abrolhos Archipelago. This is where the Dutch trade ship Batavia stranded in 1629, leading to a bloody mutiny. Back on the mainland, we travel along the coastal road to Kalbarri National Park, known for its rugged coastal formations. We arrive in the charming town of Kalbarri by evening.
Accommodation: Kalbarri Edge Resort, Kalbarri
Day 3: Kalbarri - Monkey Mia B
After breakfast, we visit Kalbarri National Park, enjoying stunning views down into the Murchison Gorge. Seasonal wildflowers can be found as we continue through Shark Bay World Heritage area. By afternoon, we reach Monkey Mia, famous for its dolphins, and enjoy a relaxing catamaran ride.

Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Carnarvon
Day 5: Carnarvon - Exmouth (Ningaloo Reef) B
We drive to Coral Bay, the southern end of Ningaloo Reef, known for a vibrant marine life. The reef is close to shore and can be explored with fins and snorkels or on a glass-bottom boat. In the late afternoon, we continue to Exmouth.
Accommodation: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort, Exmouth
