Western Australia Coral Coast & Ningaloo Reef - 8 Day Comfort Tour

This 8-day small-group tour takes you up Western Australia's coast from Perth to Exmouth, tracing a route through limestone deserts, red gorges and reef-fringed bays. It is built for comfort rather than roughing it, with a maximum of 16 travellers, ensuite boutique accommodation, and a pace that leaves room to breathe.

The drive north is the spine of the trip, but the stops are the point: the Pinnacles' strange stone spires, the pink water of Hutt Lagoon, the gorges of Kalbarri, and the long white stretch of Shell Beach in Shark Bay. Wildlife features throughout, from Monkey Mia's wild dolphins to the coral gardens and marine life of Ningaloo Reef.

Local guides bring in Nhanda and Malgana cultural storytelling alongside the natural sights, and a rock lobster pot pull off Kalbarri adds a hands-on, working-coast moment to the itinerary. You finish with free time in Exmouth to shape as you like.
