Explore the gorges, canyons, coasts and diverse wildlife of Western Australia

UNESCO World Heritage areas, remote gorges, desert landscapes and a beach made entirely of seashells – this West Coast and Karijini National Park adventure showcases some of Australia’s scenic beauty over twelve days. Starting in Perth, you’ll walk through the Pinnacles Desert, visit the Pink Hutt Lagoon and canoe along Murchison River. Look for turtles and dolphins at Shell Beach, snorkel in Ningaloo Reef, then travel inland through Karijini National Park. Explore the curved waterfall at Joffre Gorge, hike to the Kermit Pool and Spider Wall at Hancock Gorge, wander through the rock pools at Kalamina Gorge and learn about the rich First Nations history of the area from Traditional Custodians.

Why you'll love this trip

  • Spend three days in the Karijini National Park – Western Australia’s second-largest national park, with a diverse landscape of gorges and canyons more than 2.5 billion years old.
  • Learn about station life with a stay at Cheela Plains – a family-owned and operated Outback cattle station.
  • Visit Kalamina Gorge – the shallowest gorge in the Karijini National Park. Walk through the small rock pools and swim in the Rock Arch Pool.
  • 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.
