Trip Informations

Why you’ll love this trip

Take a 4WD safari through Western Australia, spending most nights camping under a dazzling blanket of stars – this is a great chance to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Spend two full days in the red-hued Pilbara, camping under a blanket of stars in Karijini National Park and spending your days exploring ancient gorges and refreshing swimming holes and waterfalls.

Kick back and relax on Eighty Mile Beach and Shell Beach, explore unique landscapes in Kalbarri National Park and Nambung National Park and drive through Australia’s famous red deserts.

Go snorkelling, soak up the sun on Turquoise Bay and explore Ningaloo Reef from the waters of Coral Bay.

Explore the World Heritage area of Shark Bay, home to the oldest living organisms in the world – stromatolites.

Is this trip right for you?

On some days of this trip, you'll spend many hours driving through very sparse areas of Australia. Sit back and enjoy landscapes that you'd miss in any other form of travel. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. Think of it as a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. The drive days can be long, but it's as much about the journey as the destination, and half the fun is the camaraderie!

Accommodation on this trip involves camping out in nature or staying in backpacker-style dormitory accommodation, including bunk beds, so the facilities are very basic. It is a trip for either younger, fit travellers or the young at heart and fit in body! A lack of emphasis on creature comforts makes this an authentic experience of the Australian outback. Some locations will have little to no Internet connection or phone service.

This trip involves activities like hiking on uneven terrain and clambering over boulders. It is best suited to travellers with good mobility and fitness. Details on physical activities can be found in the itinerary.

Itinerary

Take a 4WD adventure, swimming in desert pools and camping under the stars

Explore the natural wonders of Western Australia from Broome to Perth in a 4WD with like-minded travellers. Spend your nights under a blanket of stars and your days swimming in hidden watering holes and waterfalls, snorkelling among turtles, relaxing on Eighty Mile Beach, exploring national parks like Karijini, Nambung and Kalbarri, watching spectacular sunsets, wandering around the Shark Bay World Heritage area and taking on some fun, active optional activities in your free time.

DAY 1
Day 1 • Broome / Eighty Mile Beach
Welcome to Broome! Or Rubibi, in the language of the Yawuru people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Broome is now located. Broome is a pearling town with a rich history, so it’s recommended you spend an extra day here if you’d like to explore. Your adventure will begin straight away this morning with a short tour of the town, visiting China Town, the Japanese cemetery and Town Beach. After lunch, you’ll head towards the Pilbara region, where you’ll spend the night at a campsite at Eighty Mile Beach. Tonight, have dinner together and maybe do a spot of stargazing under the blanket of night sky, which boasts very little light pollution.

DAY 2
Day 2 • Port Hedland / Karijini National Park
This morning, travel along the coast to the iron ore town of Port Hedland. When you arrive, you’ll take a quick driving tour of the town to see the incredible size of the iron ore industry. Keep your eyes peeled for the road trains carting iron ore, some of which can be up to 60 m long. After lunch, you’ll make your way to the remote but spectacular Karijini National Park, where you’ll spend the next three nights at a campsite that overlooks the Hamersley Ranges.

Formed over 2500 million years ago, the Hamersley Ranges are some of the most unusual landforms on Earth and you’ll be able to take some great photos while you’re here. Deep in the gorges, you’ll come across waterfalls and fresh, still waterholes that are ideal for swimming. Explore Dales Gorge, where you can cool off in Fortescue Falls and Circular Pool. In the afternoon, you’ll visit the park’s Visitors Centre where you can learn about the culture of the First Nations people of the area before a group dinner.

Swimming with whale sharks is not included in the price of this trip and is an optional activity. It is very important that you pre-book any whale shark experiences, as these can sell out far in advance. You can book with us or your booking agent at the time of booking. If you would rather wait and try to get a better price by booking this locally on the ground, you can, but keep in mind that this is a popular activity and places are limited. If you book yourself, please book your excursion for today. Keep in mind that whale sharks visit the region between mid-March and mid-September only, so it’s important to make sure you schedule your trip accordingly if you would like to include this experience in your trip.
Whale sharks are big fish and can only be found in deep water. The tour will go beyond the reef to a depth where you won't be able to see the sea floor. To swim with whale sharks, all participants must be physically fit and capable of pulling themselves up and out of the water. All participants must be confident swimming in the ocean and be able to swim 200 m unassisted. The crew on board are the experts and listening to them will ensure your safety. The tour operator has the discretion to prohibit individuals from entering the water if they are deemed a safety risk to themselves or are clearly incapable of looking after their well-being while in the water.
DAY 7
Day 7 • Ningaloo Reef / Coral Bay
Take a day to explore Coral Bay today. Maybe kick back on the warm sand or go for a swim before visiting Ningaloo Reef and the amazing marine life that lives below the waterline. Here, maybe go snorkelling or take a cruise on a glass-bottom boat to see the wildlife up close (while you stay dry).
