Drive Western Australia - The Coral Coast Highway nord-sud

I arrive and transfer to the hotel.
The capital of Western Australia, Perth, is considered the most isolated city in the world and the sunniest in Australia. Modern, young, and dynamic, it is located in an enviable position on the Swan River, very close to the ocean and its long beaches, with beautiful parks. The passion for outdoor life and a relaxed lifestyle has led to the opening of numerous bars, restaurants, and venues in the city and its suburbs.

It is recommended to visit the Perth. A 2-hour walking tour of the city with a focus on the cultural side of Perth and a good coffee. A tour full of information, culture, street art, architecture, and history.
The rest of the day available.

It is recommended to visit the Rottnest Island. Transfer by ferry to Rottnest Island, about 45.
Rottnest Island is a delightful little island with dozens of small bays and white sandy beaches in a cobalt-colored sea, ideal for swimming and relaxation. Upon arrival, you can pick up a bicycle and have time to explore the island at your own pace. Rottnest is 11 km long and 4 km wide, and it takes about 3 and a half hours to complete the full loop. An unmissable opportunity: take a selfie with a quokka!.

Flight to Learmonth. Car rental from Learmonth to Perth. For one-way rentals from Perth to Learmonth or vice versa, there may be one-way fees that need to be checked in the car rental notes.

Today you can explore Cape Range National Park, a spectacular place with rugged limestone ranges, deep canyons, and breathtaking scenery for those who love hiking. But you can also explore over 50 km of pristine beaches like the unmissable Turquoise Bay or Oyster Stack, which are just two examples of spots where you can stop to snorkel and enjoy the spectacle of turtles and tropical fish swimming fearlessly around you.

About an hour and a half drive to reach Coral Bay. Located in front of the Ningaloo Reef, on a beautiful white beach, it is the ideal starting point for swimming with whale sharks (from March to August) and giant manta rays (from May to November) and for whale watching (from June to November).

In two and a half hours you can reach Carnarvon, a town known for its vast plantations of bananas, mangoes, and other fruits in the surrounding area. Don't miss the spectacular Carnarvon Blowholes, where the ocean creates geysers that can reach up to 20 meters high.

The journey takes about 4.5 hours, but recommended stops are Shark Bay, which is a World Heritage beach, Shell Beach, which is an incredible expanse of white shells forming a dazzling beach, and the town of Denham.

For several decades, wild dolphins have been approaching the shore of Monkey Mia, which over the years has become one of the most reliable sites for human-dolphin interaction. Since they are not domesticated, the number of dolphins and the time of their appearance varies from day to day and is obviously unpredictable, but they usually show up in the morning. Take some extraordinary photos. Enjoy some relaxation on the beach or take a cruise to spot dugongs and sea turtles.

About 400 km to reach the fascinating city of Kalbarri. Kalbarri National Park is known for its extraordinary natural beauty and variety of landscapes, including gorges, river systems, beaches, and rugged cliffs. It is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, emus, and a range of bird species.

Free day.

Starting from Kalbarri heading south towards Perth, don't miss the strange and evocative Pinnacles Desert in Nambung National Park, and take a walk among the mysterious and suggestive limestone rock formations that emerge from the golden sands of the desert. For those who love a bit of adventure, you can also make a stop in Lancelin and go surfing on the giant white sand dunes.
