Itinerary

Arrive in Perth and be transferred to your hotel. Tonight, enjoy a welcome dinner. Stay: Perth, The Ritz-Carlton (D)

Travel to Nambung National Park, a striking coastal desert region, home to the unique limestone Pinnacles.

Explore the port town of Geraldton after breakfast, and then head to Kalbarri National Park to begin your explorations. Stay: Kalbarri Edge Resort (B/L/D)

This morning, journey along the Butchers Track to the stunning coastline where World Heritage-listed Shark Bay lies. This westernmost part of Australia has a unique combination of stunning scenery and amazing flora and fauna, unlike that found anywhere else in Australia. Later, continue to Monkey Mia. Stay Two Nights: Shark Bay, Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort (B/L/D)

Enjoy a special Signature Experience this morning then perhaps explore pristine white sand beaches during time at leisure. Enjoy a sunset cruise before a seafood dinner at your resort. (B/L/D)

Travel to World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Marine Park and join a cruise aboard a glass bottom boat at Coral Bay. Enjoy the opportunity to snorkel on this unspoilt reef in warm crystal-clear waters. Beneath the surface, you'll find dugongs, dolphins, manta rays, and more than 500 species of fish. Marine playgrounds really don't get much better than this. Stay Two Nights: Exmouth, Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort (B/L/D)

Explore Cape Range National Park as you board a cruise through the gorge walls of Yardie Creek. Admire the plethora of wildlife, the deep waters and the dramatic red limestone cliff faces.

Trip was very good. Karijini was below standard (very arrogant staff and canteen like food). Tour director Shay and husband who drove the bus were outstanding and went the extra mile to assist everyone. Visited many places that we had never heard of. The weather was lovely Exmouth and Broome excellent accommodation. Smaller towns accommodation was not as good but that had to be expected as there isn’t much to choose from.
