The day begins with a visit to Tom Price for a guided mine tour, gaining insight into the region’s rich mining history. Continuing our journey, we travel to Karratha, a town established in 1968 to
support the iron ore industry in the Hamersley Ranges. Along the way, we stop at the magnificent Millstream-Chichester National Park, known for its rugged escarpments, tree-lined rivers, and pristine water pools. In the afternoon, we explore the historic Millstream Homestead, a former pastoral station that now serves as a visitor centre. Later, we arrive in Karratha in the late afternoon. Meals (B.L.D)

Cruise Ningaloo is an untouched, 300km-long fringing barrier reef that protects a shallow, brilliant white-sand-fringed lagoon. It is one of only a few places on Earth where you are able to access the coral reef from the beach. This morning, we enjoy a half-day discovery cruise on Ningaloo Reef. Learn about the reef’s vibrant marine ecosystem, and if you choose, take the opportunity to snorkel in the crystal clear waters and encounter marine life up close. This afternoon, enjoy some free time or take a stroll along the beach before meeting in the awardwinning Mantarays Restaurant for dinner. Meals (B.L.D)

Enjoy a relaxing morning as we depart Exmouth and journey along the North West Coastal Highway. We call into Coral Bay before heading further south to Carnarvon for our overnight stay. Meals (B.L.D)

The Shark Bay World Heritage Area was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in December 1991. It is one of only a handful of places on the list that satisfied all four natural criteria concerning natural beauty, biological diversity, ecological processes and Earth’s history. Its seagrass meadows are the largest in the world and support a significant population of dugong, along with a variety of other marine life. This morning, we head to the beach to meet the famous locals – a pod of wild dolphins that come into the shallows and interact with people. (As the dolphins are wild, their appearance cannot be guaranteed). We then enjoy a catamaran sailing adventure in Shark Bay Marine Park, keeping an eye out for marine life, including dugongs, dolphins, sharks, huge sea turtles and more. This afternoon can be spent at your leisure at the resort. Meals (B.L.D)

Please note: The visit to the Shark Bay World Heritage Discovery Centre is dependent on opening hours and time constraints. 

Our final full day takes us to one of Australia’s most otherworldly landscapes, the Pinnacles. These striking limestone formations rise eerily from the desert sands, creating a truly unique scene. We take time to wander through the area before making our way back to Perth. In the evening, we come together for a special farewell dinner to celebrate the conclusion of our journey. Meals (B.L.D)
