5 Day Dolphins, Coral Bay, Kalbarri & Pinnacles (F5ND):

Day 1 Perth to Monkey Mia
Travel north along the scenic West Australian coastline before enjoying lunch at the small sea side town of Port Denison. We marvel at the bizarre "leaning trees" of Greenough Flats. Travelling via Northampton and Geraldton we arrive at our destination of Monkey Mia, part of the World Heritage listed Shark Bay and home to a friendly pod of Wild Dolphins. Although never guaranteed, interaction with these beautiful sea creatures is common, providing an unforgettable experience.
Overnight: Monkey Mia

Day 2 Monkey Mia to Carnarvon Spend the morning exploring the water's edge with the Dolphins in this stunning bay before boarding "Shotover", a 60 foot sight-seeing catamaran for a marine wildlife cruise where Sea Turtles, Dolphins and other wildlife may be seen. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in Denham, located in the world heritage listed area that is Shark Bay. Appreciate the untouched beauty of Shell Beach and visit some of the world's oldest living organisms, the Stromatolites. Overnight: Carnarvon

Day 3 Coral Bay & Ningaloo Reef
Coral Bay boasts the longest fringing reef in the world; Ningaloo Reef stretches 260km along the West Australian coastline. This protected lagoon provides a display of over 500 species of brightly coloured fish and 220 different types of beautiful corals just a few fin kicks from the shoreline. Migrations of Giant Whale Sharks and Humpbacks can be seen in season, as well as Turtles which come onto the beaches to lay their eggs during the summer evenings. Dugongs, Dolphins and Manta Rays are also common visitors to the area. Enjoy lunch with time to explore the townsite before returning to Carnarvon late afternoon.
Overnight: Carnarvon

Day 4 Carnarvon to Kalbarri Departing Carnarvan we pass by some local banana plantations en route to our overnight destination of Kalbarri. Located on the lower reaches of the Murchison River, Kalbarri is renown for its wildflowers (August - September) and stunning red and white banded gorges within Kalbarri National Park. Unwind for the evening with a relaxing sunset cruise on the Murchison River (licensed bar on board). Overnight: Kalbarri

Day 5 Kalbarri to Perth
Departing Kalbarri we stop en route to appreciate the natural coastline formations such as Castle Rock and Pot Alley before enjoying lunch and a visit to the unique domed War Memorial in Geraldton. Homeward bound we discover the fascinating Pinnacles Desert within Nambung National Park. Thousands of natural limestone pillars rise out of the stark desert sands creating a bizarre moon-like landscape here. Explore this mystical site before completing the final leg of our journey to Perth, arriving in the evening.
