Broome to Perth Safari

Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Broome is now located. Start your 4WD adventure on the Dampier Peninsula – you’ll visit the Beagle Bay Aboriginal Community and the remote One Arm Point Aboriginal Community to tour a local aquaculture hatchery perched on the tip of One Arm Point, which overlooks the impressive Buccaneer Archipelago. Take in the views, then continue to Cygnet Bay Pearl Farm. Take a tour of the farm, which provides insight into the remote pearling industry. After, take a swim in the infinity pool that looks over Cygnet Bay and head to an included group dinner to get to know your fellow travellers a little better. (L/D)

After breakfast, drive south this morning to start your journey across the Great Sandy Desert. Stop at the coastal oasis of Eighty Mile Beach along the way – famous for its magnificent sunsets, sunrises, fishing opportunities and shell collecting. Here, you can stroll along the beautiful white-sand beach, enjoy a group lunch and relax. Tonight, you’ll stay in the remote town of Sandfire, where you’ll sit down for a group dinner before a spot of stargazing. (B/L/D)

This morning, you’ll make your way to the remote but spectacular Karijini National Park, where you’ll spend the next two days exploring the ancient gorges and stunning swimming holes. Begin your Karijini experience with a visit to the Karijini Cultural Centre before heading for Fortesque Falls, where you’ll be rewarded with a refreshing swim. The next two days are spent exploring, swimming and relaxing in the magnificent Karijini Gorges. As one of the oldest landscapes on earth, this region will continue to amaze you. Explore a number of gorges, including Weano Gorge, Oxers Lookout, Hancock Gorge and more. Spend the nights in a Karijini camp, having group dinners over the campfire under the stars. (Bx2/Lx2/Dx2)

Leave Karijini this morning and travel through the vast bushland and station country on the way to Exmouth. Spend the next three nights in an excellent private campsite at Yardie Creek Station, where you can kick back and watch the sunset as kangaroos hop around the grounds. The following day, enjoy a little freedom and relaxation. Maybe go snorkelling (equipment provided) or diving, maybe search for whale sharks if the season is right or view Vlamingh Head Lighthouse. If you’d rather, just kick back on the pristine beach at Turquoise Bay and soak up the sunshine. In the afternoon, make the short trip to beautiful Coral Bay, where you can spend the rest of the day snorkelling the world-famous Ningaloo Reef and seeing the marine life under the waterline. Alternatively, thrill-seekers can choose one of the many optional activities here. (Bx3/Lx3/Dx3)

Head south this morning after breakfast and cross the Tropic of Capricorn. Pass through the town of Carnarvon on the way, famous for its bananas, and maybe pick up some of nature’s snacks. Stop at unique Shell Beach – made up entirely of tiny shells – to stretch your legs and take photos before continuing to Monkey Mia, where you’ll be able to say hello to the famous wild dolphins that live here! Tonight, sit down for a group dinner to swap photos and dolphin stories. (B/L/D)

This morning after breakfast, you’ll have time to visit your new best friends – the dolphins – before exploring the Shark Bay World Heritage area. Stop to view the stromatolites – the oldest living organisms in the world – before heading south for Kalbarri. Time permitting, you’ll be able to view the Murchison Gorge and Nature's Window this afternoon along the way. Have dinner and spend the night in Kalbarri. (B/L/D)

Take some time to explore, then head to the fascinating landscape of the Nambung National Park to check out the famous Pinnacle Desert. Then, make your way to Perth, arriving in the early evening. This is where your trip comes to an end. (B/L)
