About this trip
This ten-day trip runs from Perth up through Western Australia's coast to Exmouth and inland to Karijini National Park, covering some of the state's most remote and varied landscapes. Expect long drives between stops, but each one earns its place — desert pinnacles, pink lakes, red gorges, and reef-fringed coastline.
It's a mix of wildlife encounters and proper outback hiking, with camping part of the experience rather than an afterthought. Days are full and distances are real, so this suits people happy to cover ground for the reward of seeing places most travellers never reach.
What you'll do
- Walk among the limestone formations of the Pinnacles Desert
- Swim with wild dolphins at Monkey Mia
- See ancient stromatolites at Hamelin Pool
- Snorkel Ningaloo Reef straight off the beach
- Hike the gorges and waterfalls of Karijini National Park
- Camp out under some of Australia's clearest night skies
- Covers huge distances across Western Australia, so expect long travel days between highlights
- Camping is part of the trip, so come ready for an outdoors, hands-on style of travel
- Suits travellers who want remote landscapes and wildlife over city comforts
Worth it if you value varied WA scenery, strong guides, and group bonding. Think twice if accommodation quality or schedule transparency matter.
- Several guides (Jenai, Flick, Aaron, Sue, Clark, Syd) genuinely deliver knowledge, safety and group morale across long driving days.
- Accommodation vetting is inconsistent: one reviewer suffered a serious head injury at Kalbarri Backpackers; operator denies responsibility.
- Actual driving hours significantly exceed website claims; stop times at sites feel rushed despite magnificent scenery.
- Ten days across vast distances means limited time per location; some wish for longer stays, especially Karijini National Park.
