Itinerary
Wonders of the Pilbara & West Coast (Travel Period: 01 Apr 2025 – 31 Mar 2026)
Almost two weeks of adventures lie before you, the first a tour of Perth with your Travel Director. The vibrant Western Australian capital has a lot to offer. It’s remarkably green, with 400-hectare Kings Park and Botanic Garden sitting pretty in the CBD. Two thirds of the grounds are reserved for native plants. Take a stroll through the park with your Travel Director and meet up again this evening for a Welcome Dinner.
Hotel:
Crowne Plaza Perth
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine
It’s time to go north to Yanchep National Park. Here, on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, your Aboriginal guide's Dreamtime stories tell the tale of how the land was created. This tour is hands-on, so expect to taste bush tucker and try playing the didgeridoo. Think the day couldn’t get any better? Within Nambung National Park, the Pinnacles create a moonscape that appears plucked from a sci-fi film, its staggering collection of natural limestone structures jutting into the sky. Arriving in Geraldton, pay homage to sailors lost off the WA coast during WWII at the HMAS Sydney Memorial.
Hotel:
Nesuto Geraldton Apartment Hotel
Included Meals:
Breakfast
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. And just when you thought the outlook couldn’t get any better, you arrive at Monkey Mia.
Hotel:
Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
Sparkling turquoise water, powdery white sand, ochre dunes – Monkey Mia knows how to dial up the drama. And then there are the wild resident dolphins, which famously swim to shore every morning to splash about in the shallows and mingle with humans. It’s a hard act to follow. Perhaps choose a sunset cruise, or get some perspective of the bay on a scenic flight (both own expense). The afternoon is yours.
Hotel:
Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort
Included Meals:
Breakfast
Prepare yourself for the ‘living fossils’ at Hamelin Pool, home to the most abundant colony of stromatolites in the world. The state's World Heritage listed Shark Bay is also characterised by Shell Beach, formed by billions of coquina bivalve shells. Your next port of call is the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum. Did you know it played a role in the 1969 moon landing? Just one of the fascinating facts you’ll learn from your passionate guide. The experience is interactive, so budding astronauts can opt to try on space suits and climb aboard a spacecraft simulator.
Hotel:
Best Western Hospitality Inn Carnarvon
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
You don’t need to get your hair wet to experience the sheer wonderment of Ningaloo Reef. A Coral Bay glass-bottom boat cruise gets you within a whisker of turtles, colourful coral and an embarrassment of fish. You won’t know where to look, although your on-board naturalist will help guide your gaze. This is part of the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Coast, a popular hangout for larger-than-life migratory marine life including whale sharks and humpbacks. Before you settle into your plush Exmouth hotel, admire the curves of the coastline from Vlamingh Head Lighthouse.
Hotel:
Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
Steel yourself for a few ‘pinch-me’ moments today. Opt to snorkel (with an ethical operator) over Ningaloo Reef. Time of year pending, you may have whale sharks and possibly humpback whales in your company. Nothing quite prepares you for the initial moment you glimpse these gentle giants up close. Or spend your day strolling the sand and cruising with dolphins at sunset. The choice is yours.
Hotel:
Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
Take one last look over the Exmouth waters before continuing north to Western Australia's famous Pilbara region. Known for its rich cultural landscape, red earth and vast mineral deposits, the region's diverse landscape will fascinate you.
Hotel:
Comfort Inn, Karratha
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
It took billions of years to create the geological wonders of Karijini: the striking red escarpments and the quiet gorges all enveloped by tall gums. You have a single day to explore, so bring your stamina and sense of adventure. You’re heading deep into the national park, discovering hidden nooks and waterholes just begging you to swim in them.
Hotel:
Tom Price Motel
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Lunch, Breakfast
At first glimpse of the Pilbara, you may well think you’ve been transported to Mars. The soil couldn’t get any redder, the skies any wider, the rock formations any more dramatic, much of the countryside streaked with mineral deposits. People are few and far between until you reach the town of Port Hedland.
Hotel:
Hospitality Port Hedland
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
Skirting the edge of the Great Sandy Desert, your morning outlook is flat – almost as far as the eye can see, the sand eventually giving way to mountain ranges, and then multicultural Broome. This city delivers many surprises, from its eclectic restaurants to its long pearling history – the pristine waters produce some of the most prized pearl oysters in the world. The other standout attraction here happens at sunset. Follow locals to the sand on Cable Beach and salute your arrival in Broome.
Hotel:
Cable Beach Club Resort
Included Meals:
Dinner with Wine, Breakfast
Which direction should you choose to venture today? Head north deep into the Kimberley on an optional experience where the Horizontal Falls reveals the power of nature. Get some perspective of the tides here on a scenic flight, then feel the force of the water on a heart-starting cruise across the rapids. Or veer off to a pearl farm to witness the precision that goes into growing and harvesting these gems. Or simply enjoy Broome’s tropical climes, strolling along 22-kilometre Cable Beach, hunting for dinosaur footprints and browsing boutiques.
