Itinerary:
Day 1: Perth / Monkey Mia (Lunch, Dinner) Travel north via the lobster fishing port of Port Denison. Here we make a short stop for lunch by the waters edge. Later, continue north across the Greenough Flats (better known for its unusual "leaning trees"), via Geraldton and Northampton, before turning off onto Peron Peninsula to the World Heritage listed area of Shark Bay for our overnight stay at the Monkey Mia beach where the dolphins come in. Overnight at Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort
Day 2: Monkey Mia / Carnarvon (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner) As our accommodation is located right at the dolphin interaction beach, you can spend extra time at the waters edge this morning where you may encounter a visit by the famous Monkey Mia dolphins. As they are wild, dolphin appearances can't be guaranteed but it has been a daily ritual for many years. Following this, an optional cruise on board the 'Shotover' is available (at own expense). This 60 foot sailing catamaran is the perfect way to view the playful dolphins as they ride the bow wave and interact with one another in the wild. Following lunch we visit the incredible Shell Beach and Stromatolites before we return to the highway again, traveling north to the subtropical town of Carnarvon for 2 nights. Overnight at Best Western Hospitality Inn
Day 3: Carnarvon / Coral Bay / Carnarvon (Breakfast, Dinner) Today we arrive at Coral Bay, centerpiece of the pristine Ningaloo Reef. Forming a 260 kilometer (156 mile) barrier along the coast, the reef creates a sheltered lagoon inhabited by a rich and colorful array of sea life, including exquisite corals, rare starfish, giant clams, over 460 species of fish, manta rays, dugong and dolphins. Your coach captain will arrange this afternoon's activities with the choice between a 1 1/2 hour Glass Bottom Boat Cruise or a 1 1/2 hour Reef Snorkel Cruise. The optional activity is included in your tour price. Afterwards, enjoy free time to wander the town and select a cafe for lunch (at your own expense). Overnight at Best Western Hospitality Inn
Day 4: Carnarvon / Kalbarri (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
This morning we head to the coastal resort town of Kalbarri. Known for wildflowers (in season from July to September) and magnificent rocky landscapes, we visit Hawks Head in Kalbarri National Park, one of the areas most spectacular red river gorges. Tonight, we recommend dinner at the renowned Finlay's Seafood BQQ, where you can feast on fresh local seafood in a unique outdoor setting. Overnight at Best Western Kalbarri Palms Resort
Day 5: Kalbarri / Perth (Breakfast, Lunch) Today we follow the coast south to the rock lobster fishing village of Cervantes, gateway to the renowned Pinnacles Desert, an amazing moon-like landscape and truly one of Australia's most mystical experiences.
