After pick up from your hotel we are leaving Perth headed north along the coast towards Cervantes, the entrance to Nambung National Park. The Pinnacles are among the most visited natural wonders of the state. Thousands of limestone pillars rise out of a stark landscape of yellow sand. There is ample time to explore the area and to take some colourful photos of these amazing formations. These impressions of lights and colours will stay with you for many years to come. We head north along the coast via Jurien Bay and Leeman towards Geraldton, the sunniest town in W.A. A visit to Mount Scott gives you the opportunity of an outlook over the town of Geraldton and Grey’s Bay. Here is also the memorial for the victims of the sunken warship HMAS Sydney II. Our sightseeing tour concludes by visiting the architecturally interesting St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in the town centre.
Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Geraldton (Breakfast)
The beautiful aerial scenic flight includes overflying the fascinating islands in the Pelsaert Group, the Easter Group and the Wallabi Group. In 1629, this was the scene of the famous mutiny of the Batavia. Back on dry land, we enter the Kalbarri National Park via Port Gregory. You can experience some of the most picturesque grazing land as well as the rough coastline. In the early evening, we will arrive in the “laid back village” of Kalbarri.
Accommodation: Kalbarri Palm Resort, Kalbarri (Breakfast)
After breakfast, we will visit Kalbarri National Park for a second time where we enjoy the breathtaking view into the Murchison Gorge. Depending upon the season, our drive through the Kalbarri National Park to the World Heritage area of Shark Bay will be escorted by the famous wildflowers. In the afternoon we arrive in Monkey Mia, home of the well-known dolphins. Nearly every day of the year they come to the shore to give you a unique experience that will never be forgotten. After dinner, a local Aborigine will introduce us on a walk into the indigenous culture. Enjoy the Dreamtime stories and the sound of the didgeridoo under the clear and bright night sky of Australia’s Outback Coast.
Accommodation: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Shark Bay (Breakfast)
In the morning you have the opportunity to come face to face with these famous dolphins. Before our first stop at Shell Beach, we pay homage to this World Natural Heritage area with a visit to the Shark Bay Interpretive Centre in Denham. We will stop again, this time at Hamelin Pool where the world best-known colony of stromatolites can be admired. Typical „Outback Australian impressions” will accompany you on the drive to Carnarvon.
Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Carnarvon (Breakfast)
After enjoying breakfast our today’s destination will be beautiful Coral Bay. Here, we will encounter the 260 km long natural wonder of the Ningaloo Reef. Specialists say that the marine life of this reef is more abundant than that found at the Great Barrier Reef. As the reef is not far from shore it can be readily available to discover with the aid of snorkel and flippers on an outing in a glass-bottom- boat. The shallow water of the reef is the homeland to various sea creatures, such as corals, unusual sea stars, crustaceans and over 500 species of different fishes. In the afternoon we take up our journey to Exmouth.
Accommodation: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort, Exmouth (Breakfast)
Breathtaking views from Vlaming Head Lighthouse across North West Cape, beautiful Ningaloo Reef and gigantic antennas of the Naval Communication Station Harold E. Holt. During our short stroll in Mandu Mandu Gorge we are looking out for some rare inhabitants, Black Footed Rock Wallabies. Turquoise Bay creates the perfect scenes for some relaxation, contemplation on the many impressions of the past days, and the temptation of the effervescent Indian Ocean for a refreshing swim. Late afternoon we return to our accommodation in Exmouth.
Accommodation: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort, Exmouth (Breakfast)
Today, we are driving in a north-easterly direction across the Pilbara region. The traditional owners called their land „bilypara“, which could be translated with “dry”. No wonder: This area, which is twice as large as Germany, half of it consisting of desert and red coloured crests. Today’s accommodation is to be found in the heart of Karijini National Park. What a fantastic atmosphere and a guaranteed good night sleep!
Accommodation: Karijini Eco Retreat, Karijini National Park (Breakfast)
The rock formations of Western Australia’s second-biggest National Park belong to the oldest ones in the world, the landscape most impressive and colourful. The plateau which is rich in iron ore and therefore coloured intensively red-brown, offers spectacular lookouts and many gorges with permanent water pools. We walk down through the changing vegetation of the iron-rich gorge walls to the park’s only permanent waterfall. Just a short distance from Fortescue Falls, you can swim in the refreshing, spring-fed Fern Pool. Finally, we visit the spectacular vantage point of the Oxer Lookout with its fantastic view on four gorges joining each other.
Accommodation: Karijini Eco Retreat, Karijini National Park (Breakfast / Lunch)
Until the departure today we enjoy the unique atmosphere of the resort. Eventually, we depart Western Australia’s iron-ore region and head for Port Hedland, Australia’s busiest iron-ore shipping port. We might – if lucky – sight an endless iron-ore train wheeling into or out of the port.
Accommodation: Hospitality Motel, Port Hedland (Breakfast)
On our journey towards Broome, we travel along the edge of The Great Sandy Desert with its small and meagre vegetation. Most of Australia’s northern coastline is bordered by extensive mangrove forests. One important exemption is Eighty Mile Beach. Enjoy the beauty of this white sandy beach and turquoise water of the Indian Ocean, renowned for fishing and shell collecting. Stingrays, stonefish and sharks are in abundance and good reasons to stay ashore. We reach Broome – Australia’s pearling capital – in the early evening.
Accommodation: Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome (Breakfast)
Today, we explore the vibrant town of Broome together. With around 15,000 residents, Broome is the tourist hub of the Kimberley region. Its blend of intellectual and alternative vibes makes it a trendy destination.
At the heart of Broome is Chinatown, a small, uniformly designed town center with a subtle Asian flair. It’s the focal point of local activity, featuring Sun Pictures, the oldest open-air cinema in the world, along with a wide array of street cafés, restaurants, galleries, souvenir shops, and pearl jewelry stores. Broome has a deep-rooted history in the pearl industry—once focused on mother-of-pearl, now centered on cultured pearls. In the early days, pearl diving was extremely dangerous. Today, the Chinese and Japanese cemeteries serve as solemn reminders of Broome’s multicultural past.
At Gantheaume Point, where towering red sandstone cliffs plunge into the deep blue ocean, you can see 130-million-year-old dinosaur footprints during low tide. The clean, warm, turquoise waters off the coast nurture pearls that are among the most sought-after in the world. Divers from around the globe once came here in search of fortune, helping establish Broome as Australia’s pearl capital.
A visit to one of the few pearl farms in the Kimberley region open to the public offers fascinating insight into modern pearl cultivation.
In the afternoon, relax at Cable Beach, one of the safest and most stunning beaches in the world. Enjoy your free time at your leisure!
Accommodation: Cable Beach Club Resort, Broome (Breakfast)
Near Derby, the administrative capital of the West Kimberley with its tropical flair, we visit its main attraction with a dark past – the Prison Tree. In the hollow trunk of the ancient boab tree, Aboriginal prisoners were once confined. Today, the bulbous giant is protected and should no longer be entered out of respect for the site and its history. We continue our leisurely journey along the Great Northern Highway toward Fitzroy Crossing, our destination for the day.
Accommodation: Fitzroy River Lodge, Fitzroy Crossing (Breakfast)
Our journey today begins with a visit to Geikie Gorge National Park. During a boat trip through the 14-kilometer-long and up to 30-meter-deep gorge, there is a chance to observe freshwater crocodiles and admire the remnants of a dried-up coral reef. We then continue on to Halls Creek, where a gold rush in 1885 caused quite a stir. A short detour takes us along a dusty track to the so-called China Wall. This vertical, up to 5-meter-high wall of light quartz is the result of erosion and was not man-made. The journey continues along the Great Northern Highway, between the Durack Range and the Carr Boyd Range, on the way to Kununurra.
Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra (Breakfast)
Early in the morning, we drive to El Questro Wilderness Park, where we will discover one of the many gorges during a short hike. The journey continues along the Great Northern Highway, between the Durack Range and the Carr Boyd Range, heading toward Wyndham. Five Rivers Lookout in Wyndham, the northernmost town in Western Australia, offers a spectacular view of the Ord, Forrest, King, Durack, and Pentecost Rivers, the Cambridge Gulf, as well as surrounding mangrove swamps and tidal flats. Depending on the season, we visit Marglu Billabong in the Parry Lagoons Nature Reserve, a bird sanctuary home to over 20,000 birds. The Grotto is the name of an idyllic swimming hole located at the beginning of a short but picturesque gorge. Surrounded by steep rock walls, the pool is fed by a 15-meter-high waterfall during the rainy season. We then return to Kununurra.
Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra (Breakfast)
Today we will be collected from our accommodation just before noon and taken by coach through Durack country to Lake Argyle. We will take a short break at the historic Durack Homestead Museum. This Museum was constructed as a replica of the original family Homestead and uses the original Homestead stone. We are viewing the enormous Lake Argyle from a scenic look-out. On our 55km boat ride back to Kununurra we experience spectacular landscapes as well as a rich flora and fauna. After admiring a colourful sunset at the end of the boat trip, we are brought back to the hotel.
Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra (Breakfast)
Today’s trip into the Bungle Bungle National Park is a highlight at its best. It gives you the great opportunity to experience a breath-taking view of unique rock formations from the air and on foot. From a small aeroplane, you enjoy gorgeous bird’s eye views on Lake Argyle, the Carr Boyd Range and enormous cattle farms. While approaching the airstrip amidst the Bungle Bungle National Park the wonderful world of these amazing limestone rocks opens up. By 4WD and on foot you reach Cathedral Gorge. Enjoy a picnic surrounded by fantastic rock sculptures reminding you of bee-hives and let this unique atmosphere sink in. On the flight back to Kununurra you get great views of the Argyle Diamante Mine and the rough embankments of the Osmand Range. This day will provide you with unforgettable memories that you will keep all your life.
Accommodation: Kununurra Country Club Resort, Kununurra (Breakfast / Lunch)
Today we say goodbye to Kununurra and Western Australia. Soon after, we will pass the border to the Northern Territory. A leisurely drive along Victoria Highway to Katherine.
Accommodation: Knotts Crossing Resort, Katherine (Breakfast)
After breakfast, we start today’s touring day with a 2-hour cruise through the spectacular Katherine Gorge. A wonderful experience with beautiful views and the opportunity to admire Aboriginal rock art. Via Kakadu Highway, we finally get into Kakadu National Park. Nourlangie Rock, a site of impressive Aboriginal galleries, presents a mix of up to 20,000-year old rock art.
Accommodation: Gagudju Lodge Cooinda, Yellow Water (Breakfast)
An impressive boat cruise in Yellow Waters will give you the rare opportunity of viewing the many varieties of wildlife in their natural habitat. As this area is a beloved resting ground during the dry season, you will be both amazed and delighted to see such an abundance of bird types and observe crocodiles within such a close range. At Ubirr Rock – in the heart of the Kakadu National Park – you will find enough time today to wonder and gaze in caves and at rocks of Aboriginal rock art (the world’s oldest art gallery), and also to enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over Kakadu Park. A further stop in the Mamukala Wetlands will allow us to observe thousands of magpie-geese, a fantastic World Heritage Protected area of UNESCO. We reach Darwin in the evening where your unforgettable tour ends at your pre-booked accommodation.
