Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk. SNORKELLING WITH WHALE SHARKS Whale shark season in Western Australia runs from April through to July. Travellers on this trip have the option to swim with whale sharks – please check the itinerary for the exact day this is available. In August you can also swim with humpback whales. To book these optional activities you can speak to your guide on Day 1 of your trip. However, during busy periods, like school holidays, we recommend you book in advance to avoid disappointment. You can do this by contacting your booking agent or our activity supplier – Kings Ningaloo Reef. Please find a link to their website and their phone number below. http://kingsningalooreeftours.com.au/ 08 9949 1764 By pre-booking this activity you will be paying a slightly higher price to secure your spot, but given the popularity of this activity if it’s a must do for you then we do recommend booking in advance.

Day 1 - Perth / Pinnacles / Jurien Bay / Kalbarri
Welcome to Perth! Or Boorloo in the language of the local Whadjuk Nyoongar people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Perth is now located. Your adventure begins straight away, as you meet your group and head to Nambung National Park to check out the famous Pinnacle Desert – a unique landscape unlike any other in the country. After, journey to the massive sand dunes of Jurien Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to go sandboarding down the slopes and perfect your surfing-on-land technique. From here, continue to Kalbarri, where you’ll spend the first night of your adventure after a group dinner.
Day 2 - Kalbarri National Park / Shell Beach / Shark Bay
Drive to Kalbarri National Park, where you can explore diverse scenery like Murchison Gorge, Natures Window, The Loop and Z-Bend Gorge (this gorge has a steep descent, but it’s worth the effort for the refreshing swim at the end). Maybe go abseiling here if you’re craving an adrenaline hit. After lunch with your group, you’ll visit Shell Beach – one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from seashells! Tonight, get back on the road and head towards Shark Bay.
Day 3 - Shark Bay / Coral Bay
After breakfast this morning, take the short drive across the Peron Peninsula down to the beach at Shark Bay. After a short walk, continue along the highway to Coral Bay (‘the Jewel of the Northwest’) via the fascinating stromatolites at Hamelin Pool. These are the oldest living organisms in the world! When you arrive in Coral Bay, sit down for a group dinner and enjoy a relaxing night.
Day 4 - Coral Bay / Ningaloo Reef / Exmouth
Take a day to explore Coral Bay today at your leisure. Maybe kick back on the warm sand, go for a swim, or visit famous Ningaloo Reef and the amazing marine life that lives below the waterline. Go snorkelling or take a cruise in a glass-bottom boat to see the wildlife up close (while you stay dry). In the late afternoon, you’ll drive into Exmouth where you’ll spend the next two nights.
Day 5 - Ningaloo Reef / Exmouth
Soak up some free time in the gorgeous area of Exmouth and maybe take on some optional activities – go snorkelling (equipment provided) or diving, search for whale sharks if the season’s right (optional) or go and see Vlamingh Head Lighthouse. In the afternoon, maybe soak up the sunshine on the warm sands of Turquoise Bay. Tonight, perhaps head out for dinner with your group – your local leader will always have suggestions handy.
Day 6 - Karijini National Park
Today is mainly a travel day, as you head inland past many cattle stations to reach the outback oasis of Karijini National Park. Get stuck into a good book, your favourite podcasts or hit your travel playlist and watch the land pass you by. Along the way, you’ll pass through Tom Price – this small town is known for its iron ore mining – before reaching your camp that overlooks the scenic Hamersley Range, where you’ll spend the next three nights.
Day 7 - Karijini National Park
Enjoy a full day of exploration in Karijini National Park today, following your leader to the gorgeous gorges and swimming holes. Formed over 2500 million years ago, the Hamersley Ranges are some of the most unusual landforms on Earth and you’ll be able to take some great photos while you’re here. Deep in the gorges, you’ll come across waterfalls and fresh, still waterholes that are ideal for swimming. See Dales Gorge, where you can cool off in Fortescue Falls and Circular Pool, then in the afternoon you’ll visit the Visitors Centre. Here, you’ll deep dive into the culture of the First Nations people of the area, then sit down to dinner as a group around the campfire.
Day 8 - Karijini National Park
After breakfast, venture to Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge. For those interested in a challenge, you can walk to Handrail Pool at the end of Weano Gorge or take on the Spider Walk in Hancock Gorge. Both gorges are great places for photography, with breathtaking views and lots of examples of banded iron formations, which seem to sink into the Earth.
Day 9 - Port Hedland / Eighty Mile Beach
Say your farewells to Karijini National Park this morning and travel towards the coast and the iron ore town of Port Hedland. Take some time for a quick driving tour of the town to see the size of the iron ore industry. Keep your eyes peeled for the road trains carting iron ore, some of which can be up to 60 m long. After lunch, you’ll continue to your campsite at Eighty Mile Beach. Enjoy a group dinner together and take the opportunity to do a spot of stargazing in the blanket of night sky, which boasts very little light pollution.
Day 10 - Eighty Mile Beach / Broome
This morning, you’ll have some free time on the stretching sands of Eighty Mile Beach – Australia’s longest uninterrupted beach, famous for migrating sea birds. Stroll along the white sands and snap some photos of the clear water before heading to Broome – a pearling town with a rich history. When you arrive, your leader will take you on a tour of town, including China Town and the Japanese cemetery, ending at Town Beach, where your trip comes to an end in the late afternoon.
