The Coral Coast Highway: a south to north road trip itinerary in Western Australia

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..

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!

Car rental from Cervantes to Learmont, 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. 260 km north of Perth there's Nambung National Park, a flat sandy desert dotted with hundreds of weird spires of sedimentary rock: the wonderful Pinnacles,

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. The history of Monkey Mia begins in the early 1960s, when a pod of dolphins started regularly showing up in the bay and approaching humans. 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 multiple times, preferably in the morning. Contact with humans is regulated by rangers, who select a lucky visitor. Admission to the Monkey Mia Reserve is subject to a fee.,

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).

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.

Free day

You will have most of the day to explore the Ningaloo Reef, the largest coral reef in Australia, at your leisure. Choose to participate in a boat tour or enjoy free time to experience the beautiful beaches that Coral Bay has to offer. You can walk along the beach and observe the shark nursery, swim with the manta rays (at your own expense), or snorkel on the Ningaloo Reef just a few meters from the shore. In the evening, drive up the peninsula to Exmouth and settle in for two nights in the city center.,
