Tour Overview
The ultimate tour between Perth and Monkey Mia, this epic journey from the West Australian capital includes a Pinnacles tour plus visits to pink lakes and Aboriginal sites. This tour between Perth and Monkey Mia may be short, but it’s big on natural attractions – the kind you expect to see on postcards. Like the limestone pillars of The Pinnacles, the oh-so-blue waters of UNESCO World Heritage-listed Shark Bay, the wild dolphins of Monkey Mia and the ancient gorges of Kalbarri National Park. Don’t even get us started on the pink lake… Western Australia tours from Perth never looked so good.
Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1: Fremantle - Geraldton
Location: Geraldton
Accommodation Name: Mantra Geraldton
Get set for a good dose of coastal drama today as you journey north from Fremantle all the way to Geraldton. But before you get there, pause in Yanchep National Park, a union of bush and wetlands that is as spectacular as it is sacred. The best way to understand its significance to First Nations communities is in the company of an Aboriginal guide. On this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, hear how stories are taught, told and used, didgeridoo playing, and hands-on learning with traditional tools. Just try not to leave more informed and understanding of the world’s oldest culture than when you arrived. Two national parks in one day – your next stop is Nambung. We’ll forgive you for thinking you’ve been transported to the set of a sci-fi movie when you arrive at this moonscape, studded with limestone pillars stretching into the sky. Welcome to your Pinnacles tour. Arriving in Geraldton, more moving moments await at the evocative HMAS Sydney Memorial, which pays homage to the servicemen who lost their lives off the West Australian coast.
Day 2: Geraldton - Monkey Mia
Location: Shark Bay
Accommodation Name: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort
Shark Bay is one of the planet’s greatest wilderness areas – if you don’t believe us, chat to UNESCO about the World Heritage listing they gave this pocket of WA. A window in time and a wildlife refuge, it’s all powdery white coves and gin-clear waters that naturally attract a plethora of wildlife. This afternoon, take in the bounty at your own pace, perhaps on a sunset cruise to spot sea creatures great and small, or from the air, where your bird’s-eye view reveals just how wide and wonderful the coast really is. Come dusk, be sure to find an oceanside perch and a cold beverage. Cheers to the end of another amazing day in WA.
Day 3: Monkey Mia - Kalbarri
Location: Kalbarri
Accommodation Name: Kalbarri Edge Resort
Bring your stamina – today’s adventures begin early. But if there’s anything worth getting out of bed for, it’s Monkey Mia’s wild dolphins, which swim close to shore to greet visitors every morning. Arriving at Kalbarri National Park, enjoy spectacular views from the Kalbarri Skywalk over the Murchison River Gorge. If you’re here during wildflower season, expect acacia, banksia and caladenia in full bloom.
Day 4: Kalbarri - Perth
Location: Perth
Accommodation Name: Holiday Inn West Perth
Meals Included: Dinner
If you thought you’d seen it all, wait until Hutt Lagoon appears on the horizon. One of Western Australia’s eye-popping pink lakes, this body of highly salty water changes hue at different times of the year – sometimes it’s bubblegum, often it’s lilac, occasionally it’s red. It’s always incredible. What a blazing way to end your Western Australia tour. But wait, you still have a Farewell Dinner and drinks with your new friends. Don’t forget to exchange email addresses.
Day 5: Farewell From Perth
Location: Perth
Short and sweet, we hope your journey inspired extended West Australian wanderlust.
