Tour Description


Discover why Western Australia is a nature lovers’ paradise. Become an Exmouth Explorer and experience

the many wonders of the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. As you journey through the idyllic West Coast

you will experience a totally different side to Australia, a region many are yet to discover!





Start your adventure in the most remote capital city of Perth before heading north into the nature

lovers’ paradise that is Western Australia. Hike down to the banks of the Murchison River and peek

through Nature’s Window into an ancient gorge. For those seeking a unique view over the gorge

there’ll also be an opportunity to test your abseil skills (own expense). A visit to the World Heritage

Listed region of Shark Bay will leave you in awe of the beauty of nature. Here you can marvel at

a beach made entirely of tiny shells, meet the world’s oldest living fossils, the stromatolites, and

witness dolphins playing just off shore at Monkey Mia.





The region is not only home to around 2000 dolphins but also turtles, dugongs, kangaroos and

emus! Be amazed by your visit to the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef, known for its diverse

marine life, manta rays and whale shark visitors! Stay overnight in Coral Bay, a town right by the

beach which boasts coral so close to shore you can swim out to view it. Or join a tour in search

of whale sharks or manta rays. Whether you choose to join a boat tour or simply relax on the beach, the pristine beaches and turquoise waters here will leave a truly lasting impression.



We follow the road as far north as Exmouth Cape, a place where rugged mountains flow almost

down to the sea. Stand atop Vlamingh Head at the lighthouse for views over the reef and

ranges. In spring, you may even spot the migrating humpback whales go by. Complete your tour

of the Cape with a visit to the snorkelling haven of Turquoise Bay. From Exmouth we make our way

back down towards Perth stopping for many comfort breaks and a farm stay. Take this last opportunity for

you to solidify new friendships and reflect on your adventure together.
