Itinerary
Day 1: Perth to Kalbarri
Free-spirited, we cruise up the Coral Coast, where ironically, it feels like our adventure begins in the desert.

It’s then on to Geraldton, a township renowned for rock lobster, pearls and shipwrecks, if time permits enjoy a visit to the pink lake (seasonal) before spending the night in Kalbarri.

Day 2: Kalbarri National Park - Shark Bay
With endless beauty, it’s easy to imagine dinosaurs roaming the ancient interconnecting gorges of Kalbarri National Park. Carved out by the Murchison River and lined with red river gums, the towering cliffs are striped with a blood-red hue and contrast spectacularly with the azure hidden waterholes. The best vantage points are from Nature’s Window and Z-Bend lookouts, or for the ultimate rush, there’s the option of abseiling down. Toast the day in Denham, the gateway to Shark Bay.

The wonder continues with the three billion-year-old Stromatolites, creating a carpet-like sculpture beside the sea at Hamelin Pool. Watch the sun sink, and the stars come out at Coral Bay.
