4 Day Monkey Mia, Kalbarri & Pinnacles

Itinerary

Day 1 Perth – Kalbarri (H)

We depart Perth and head North through market gardens and vineyards to join up with Highway 1 on our way to Nambung National Park and the fascinating Pinnacles Desert. After exploring these unique formations we continue our journey northwards along coastal roads to Geraldton.

After a short break we head out to some local sand dunes for an adrenaline rush sand boarding down these huge slopes. From here we continue on to Kalbarri and our overnight accommodation. (L,D)

Day 2 Kalbarri – Denham (H)

After an early rise we take a short drive to Murchison Gorge in Kalbarri National Park. Here we take time to view Natures Window, the Loop and discover the wonders of the Z-Bend Gorge. At Z-Bend Gorge it is an exhilarating 150 metre descent into the heart of the gorge – well worth the effort – where there is time to explore and swim in the tranquil fresh water pools. For the adventurous there is even an opportunity to try your hand at abseiling (optional activity at additional cost).

After a well earned lunch it’s time to make our way toward Monkey Mia, stopping at the beautiful Shell Beach and then onto Denham for our overnight stop. (B,L,D)

Day 3 Denham –Northampton (FS)

After a short drive across the Peron Peninsula we make our way down to the beach and the world famous Monkey Mia dolphins – its a unique experience and there are some fantastic photo opportunities. Here you can also enjoy a sail boat cruise (optional) to view more magnificent creatures of the sea of this vast area.

All too soon its time to leave Monkey Mia and begin our return journey south. On the way we visit Eagle Bluff and Hamelin Pool with its amazing stromatolites before heading to our Farmstay at Northampton. (B,L,D)

Day 4 Northampton - Perth

This morning we make the short journey to the Hutt River Province. Be enthralled listening to Prince Leonards story about how and why he seceded from Australia. A unique part of our history. For those who wish to add another stamp to your passport bring yours along!! We depart Hutt River and begin our journey south towards Perth. Along the way we make a stop at the Greenough Wildlife Park - the home of a python breeding centre. Here you will have the opportunity, if you wish, to handle these lovely reptiles as well as many other native animals. Late afternoon we arrive back in Perth where we farewell our new friends. (B,L)
