See marine wildlife and dine under the stars on Australia’s West coast

Remote bays, coral reefs, desert landscapes, a beach made up entirely of seashells and a bright pink lake – this west coast adventure showcases Australia’s scenic beauty over eight beautiful days. Starting in Exmouth, you’ll head into Cape Range National Park and go snorkelling in Oyster Stacks, search for turtles on a glass bottom boat, and look out for marine wildlife from above and under the water. Visit Shark Bay’s Shell Beach, enjoy some time to get active, then head into Kalbarri National Park. Explore lookouts and short walks, see Hutt Lagoon’s vibrant pink hues, then wander the strange landscape of the Pinnacles Desert. Now this is one for the nature lovers!

Why you'll love this trip

  • Soak up the natural beauty of Ningaloo Reef – a UNESCO World Heritage site. Take a three-hour glass bottom boat tour to spot turtles in Coral Bay and spend your free time walking the shores of Oyster Bay and Turquoise Bay.
  • Visit Shell Beach – one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from seashells – during your time in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. Then, enjoy heaps of free time to explore the bay however you like. Maybe go kayaking, snorkelling, stand-up paddleboarding or 4WDing.
  • Walk through the otherworldly landscape of the Pinnacles Desert – this national reserve is peppered with strange natural limestone structures that date back to around 30,000 years!
  • See the vibrant pink to lilac hues of Hutt Lagoon – the extra high salinity in the lake causes the bright shades of colour.
