The 9 Day Adelaide to Perth tour travels through the stunning Southern Flinders Ranges and onto the Eyre Peninsula. The tour then crosses the Nullarbor and into Esperance and the South West of Western Australia.
This tour has a focus on the South West of Western Australia travelling along the coastline of Western Australia then inland to Perth.
You can experience beautiful surf beaches, catch a glimpse of Southern Right whales, explore caves, taste award winning wines and much much more. This is a great tour that you will never forget.
Day 1:
Our adventure begins north from Adelaide. Depending on the weather conditions we include a bush walk in the southern Flinders Ranges.
We stop off along the way to take in typical rural cities and towns. At the end of the first day's journey we stay either in a bush camping setting or during winter an Aussie farm retreat staying in updated shearer's quarters.
Day 2:
After a short drive we board the MV Investigator for a 4-5 hr cruise (own cost at $100 Inc GST). It's a relaxing day viewing and swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions. We visit the famous Murphy's Haystacks, the weird and wonderful - 100,000 year old granite inselbergs shaped by the sands of time.
Time permitting we head back to Coodlie Park Farm Retreat to view a spectacular sunset at a secluded beach. Our hosts Hassie, Jo and family then conduct a nocturnal spotlighting tour looking for Australia's National Emblems, Kangaroos, Wombats and Emus.
Day 3:
Optional Experience, Scenic Flight - 120 Kilometres of magnificent rugged coastline between Coodlie Park and Ceduna [$140.00 per person minimum 3 people] We travel further along the West coast of South Australia, and after a short stop at Ceduna we check out the surf at one of Australia's best surf beaches and Cactus Beach'.
You can do a coastal walk along some rugged coastline or relax with a book on a remote beach. Later in the afternoon we head for the tiny historical settlement of Fowlers Bay, adjacent to massive sand dunes. We finish off the day with some extreme fun sand boarding.
Day 4:
Leaving Fowlers Bay behind we cross the dingo fence, travel through Yalata Aboriginal lands and drive onto the Nullarbor Plain. In season [June � October] the Southern Right Whales migrate to the Head of the Bight. Up to 100 of these amazing mammals can be seen from the scenic lookouts.
Outside of the whale season you will not be disappointed with the spectacular coastline and viewing platforms that showcase the majestic Nullarbor Cliffs. We stop at the famous wombat/camel/kangaroo road sign and call into old Eucla, a telegraph town buried by sand dunes!
Day 5:
Get ready for some adventurous caving (bring a torch) because today we are going deep beneath the Nullarbor and you can even have a swim in an underground lake. We travel through some real outback country and it will certainly give you a sense of the size of the vast and ancient land.
NOTE: Caving as been stopped for the interim by CALM, Western Australia's National Parks on account of floods and overall safety. Nullarbor Traveller are looking for another caving alternatives. In the interim the tour includes playing part of the "Nullarbor Golf Links" an 18 hole golf course that starts at Ceduna and ends in Kalgoorlie playing golf in the middle of nowhere!
Day 6:
We arrive in Esperence (our first bit of civilization for some time) and while we restock supplies you can look around this beautiful seaside port.
We set up camp for the next two nights only metres away from a picture postcard beach in the cape le Grand National Park, and the sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
A late afternoon hike up the granite formation known as Frenchman Peak rewards you with fantastic views of the bays and islands of the Recherche Archipelago.
Day 7:
We have another full day to enjoy this beautiful spot and it's totally up to you how you want to spend your day.
There are some stunning coastal walks, you may like to swim, boogie board, snorkel, fish or just relax while lying on a pure white sandy beach (you might have to share the beach with a local kangaroo or two).
Day 8:
We leave early and head for the Stirling Range or Fitzgerald River National Park, where we will do one of the many walks on offer.
We like to keep today flexible as there are so many great spots to visit, the guide will decide the best route on the day.
We arrive into our overnight destination at Porongurup before sampling some award winning wines and settling down to a vineyard platter
Day 9:
The landscape changes dramatically as we head into the heart of the southern Eucalypt forests of W.A. We walk the talk on the tree top walk at the Valley of the Giants; a unique structure that takes you up into the canopy of a very ancient and special eucalypts called Red Tingle trees.
In the afternoon we climb one of the giant Karri trees that once used as a fire lookout. Our last bit of the nearly 4000 km journey gives you a chance to reflect on the experiences over the last nine action packed days as we head for Western Australia's capital Perth.
NOTE: Luggage Restrictions apply of 1 backpack/soft travel bag per person and 1 piece of hand luggage.
