This adventure tour has been designed for the traveller with limited time and money, to experience many of our State's highlights - including the Pinnacles, Kalbarri, Monkey Mia, Coral Bay and Karijini National Park.
DAY 1 - BC
Leaving Perth we begin our adventure, heading north via the crayfishing town of Cervantes to the eerie Pinnacles desert. Time for lunch and a stroll through the unique limestone formations before continuing on to a bush camp by the beach at secluded Lucky Bay. After dinner you can sample some traditional damper cooked by your tour guide.
DAY 2 - CP
We need 4WD this morning as we cross huge sand dunes to the beach where we have fun sandboarding, swimming and reef walking. 4WD back over the dunes, travelling to Kalbarri, stopping en-route at the dramatic coastline. After lunch we climb down into the beautiful Z-bend gorge in the Kalbarri National Park for a swim in the Murchison River pools. Our overnight camp tonight is at Nanga Bay Holiday Resort (working sheep station) where you can relax and unwind in the huge hot spa.
DAY 3 - BC
We spend the morning with the wild dolphins and lunch on the white sands by the turqoise waters of Monkey Mia. There is an optional wildlife cruise on the impressive 'Shotover' sailing catamaran. After a stop at Denham, (the most westerly town in Australia), we take in the panoramic view at Eagle Bluff and look for stingrays, reef sharks and dugongs in the clear waters below. 4WD down a track to a secluded area of the fascinating Shell Beach. Tonight we will sleep around the campfire in a secluded bush setting.
DAY 4 - CP
Today travelling to tropical Carnarvon, before arriving at Coral Bay. We spend the afternoon at this beautiful location, swimming and snorkelling where the clear waters of Ningaloo Reef meet the pristine sands. Tonight, 'nibbles' on the beach while enjoying a serene sunset.
DAY 5 - BC
Many optional tours (seasonal) are available this morning, including: scuba diving, whale sharks (from a spotter plane), manta ray and dugong cruises or fun on quad bikes. We may call in to Exmouth for passengers joining or leaving the tour, then take the back roads to our overnight camp at Duck Creek.
DAY 6 - NP
Travelling inland to the iron ore mining town of Tom Price for lunch, we then drive to the magnificent Karijini National Park. After an awesome view from Oxer's Lookout into the junction of four gorges, there is an easy climb along the bottom of Weano Gorge to Handrail Pool; or for the adventurous, we can do most of "The Miracle Mile". Tonight we traverse a 4WD track to a private camp, sleeping under the stars of a striking Pilbara sky.
DAY 7 - BC
Climbing down into Dales Gorge we hike from the beautiful (and icy cold) fern-fringed Circular Pool to the stunning Fortescue Falls. We discover the hidden Fern Pool with time to enjoy the year round waterfalls and lush surroundings. Nature is at its best here with a vast array of colours. After lunch we depart Karijini, a brief stop for showers at Auski then travel one of the most scenic outback tracks in Australia to our superb bush camp near Marble Bar.
DAY 8
On our last day we will explore the Coongan River area, Jasperlite at Marble Bar, an abandoned mining town and stunning Pilbara scenery, arriving in Broome around sunset.

GUIDELINES
Anyone with average fitness will be able to take part in most or all of the walks and activities on our tours. Generally if you can walk several kilometres over uneven dried up river beds at a steady pace ground, you should be able to take part in most walks. Some walks are harder than others, and you will need to accept the judgement of your tour guide. Most of the walks are between 1km – 3km return trips. Of course if you prefer, you can choose not to go on a walk, and relax at camp. We have found that tolerance to outback conditions and a good sense of humour is more important than peak fitness!
