Extended Touring from Perth
Scroll down for Price Panel ...

Flanked by the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, the western coastal region of Western Australia affords many opportunities to explore remote and beautiful areas both on the coast and inland, especially the area between Perth and Broome which is less far developed than the Pacific Coast.  Two of the many highlights this coast are Monkey Mia and its dolphins and shimmering Ningaloo Reef (pictured).   These two reasonably priced, value for money,  tours  depart from Perth.  See the our 'Self Drive' Routes section for more options.

ITINERARY:
Day 1   Perth to Monkey Mia
Travel north to the lobster fishing town of Port Dennison, where you make a short stop for lunch (own expense) by the water's edge.  Continue north across Greenough flats, better known for its unusual leaning trees and then on to Geraldton and Northhampton. Turn off onto Peron Peninsula to the world listed area of Shark Bay for your overnight stay at Monkey Mia. Overnight: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort (or similar)
Day 2   Monkey Mia to Kalbarri (B)
Your accommodation is located at the dolphin interaction beach and you can spend extra time at the water's 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 coming in at regular times through the day to interact with people has been a ritual for many years. The opportunity to join an optional cruise on a 60 foot sailing catamaran the 'Shotover' is also available this morning (own expense). Enjoy unique encounters with dolphins, sharks or even the elusive dugong as Shotover quietly glides through the
calm waters. 
This afternoon, visit the town of Denham for lunch (own expense) and the incredible Shell Beach and Stromatolites before travelling south to Kalbarri, known for wildflowers (in season) and magnificent rocky landscapes. Visit Hawks Head in Kalbarri National Park, one of the area's most spectacular red river gorges.
Overnight: Best Western Kalbarri Palms Resort (or similar)

Day 3   Kalbarri to Perth (B)
Homeward bound, enjoy sightseeing along the Kalbarri coastal gorges then travel south breaking for lunch (own expense) at the rock lobster fishing village of Cervantes, gateway to the Pinnacles Desert, an amazing moon like landscape.  Time will be allowed to stroll among these limestone spires and take photographs - a memorable way to finish the tour. 
Arrive in Perth at approximately 7.00 pm.
