Today you will take the Rottnest Express, a 30-minute ferry ride from Fremantle to Rottnest Island. Rottnest Island is home to the world’s happiest creature, the quokka. In addition to taking the popular “quokka selfie,” you can spend the day walking the beaches and trails, snorkeling and biking.

This morning you will depart on a full day tour where you will explore the Pinnacles Desert. Highlights include Caversham Wildlife Park and the chance to see Australia’s marsupials and indigenous wildlife before heading to the Pinnacles Desert for a walk and sand boarding on the stark white sand dunes.

3 nights Exmouth / Ningaloo

Prepare yourself for an awe-inspiring experience! Enjoy a full day on the water in the company of a marine biologist, seeking out the whale sharks, the biggest fish in the sea. With nature’s cooperation, during late March – early August, you’ll have an opportunity to swim with these majestic creatures.

Between August-October pods of humpback whales and their playful calves make Ningaloo their home. If an in-water experience with either of these gentle giants is on your bucket list, Ningaloo is the place!

Enjoy another day on the water, snorkeling or diving…there is much more marine life to see, including manta rays, humpbacks, dugongs, and dolphins. If you are ready for a land-based activity today, head out on a 4WD safari to Cape Range National Park. This tour showcases the area’s natural beauty, including rugged canyons and beautiful beaches. You’ll enjoy a boat cruise on Yardie Creek and snorkeling at Turquoise Bay. After a full day of the great outdoors, return to your accommodation.

Transfer to the Exmouth/Learmonth airport for your flight to Perth. From there, head approximately 3 hours south to Margaret River, known throughout the world for its top-quality wines and gourmet cuisine. In fact, world-class chefs journey to the region every November for the Western Australia Gourmet Escape festival, featuring foodie delights and award-winning wines. Prepare to be impressed by the surrounding landscape at every turn, including stunning coastline, vineyards and forested national parks.

3 nights Margaret River

Today you will experience a unique and stunning side of the Margaret River area. Start with a tranquil canoe trip down the lush and beautiful Margaret River, savor a cup of coffee at an iconic surf spot, and sample local honey before settling down for lunch at the gorgeous Fraser Gallop Estate. Cap off the day with a 4WD adventure walk along a section of the Cape to Cape Track with undeniably epic scenery.

This region merits another day of indulgence and culinary adventuring, with wine, cheese and chocolate on the agenda. A highlight of the day will undoubtedly be a visit to the Ngilgi Cave, where your guide will share Aboriginal legends and take you into the cave for a mesmerizing didgeridoo performance.

Or, you may even want to have your hotel pack a picnic lunch for you and hit the beach!
