Trip Informations

Why you’ll love this trip

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

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

Visit world-famous Ningaloo Reef – go snorkelling, soak up the sun at Turquoise Bay and explore the reef from the waters of Coral Bay.

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

Spend some time 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.

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

Camp under desert skies and swim in hidden oases on a 4WD adventure

On this 4WD Perth to Broome safari adventure, you’ll explore the natural wonders of Western Australia. Spend your nights under a blanket of desert stars and your days in search of secret swimming holes under waterfalls. Snorkel with turtles, relax on Eighty Mile Beach, explore national parks like Karijini, Nambung and Kalbarri, watch spectacular sunsets and take on some fun, active activities in your free time to ramp up the adventure.

DAY 1
Day 1 • Perth / Pinnacles / Jurien Bay / Kalbarri
Welcome to Perth! Or Boorloo in the language of the local Whadjuk Nyoongar people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which Perth is now located. Your adventure begins straight away, as you meet your group and head to Nambung National Park to check out the famous Pinnacle Desert – a unique landscape unlike any other in the country. After, journey to the massive sand dunes of Jurien Bay, where you’ll have the opportunity to go sandboarding down the slopes and perfect your surfing-on-land technique. From here, continue to Kalbarri, where you’ll spend the first night of your adventure after a group dinner.

Special information
The pick-up for this trip is at 7 am at the Tourist Bus Stop on Barrack Square (next to the Pinnacle Tours Office). This is where you’ll meet your local leader, unless you or your travel agent requests an alternative location (possible at Fremantle, just contact the reservations team).

Your travel time today will be approximately 7 hours.
DAY 2
Day 2 • Kalbarri National Park / Shell Beach / Shark Bay
Drive to Kalbarri National Park, where you can explore diverse scenery like Murchison Gorge, Natures Window, The Loop and Z-Bend Gorge (this gorge has a steep descent, but it’s worth the effort for the refreshing swim at the end). Maybe go abseiling here if you’re craving an adrenaline hit. After lunch with your group, you’ll visit Shell Beach – one of only two beaches in the world made entirely from seashells! Tonight, get back on the road and head towards Shark Bay.

Special information
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. The season for whale sharks in the region is 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.
On the departure that stays at Bullara Station (7th July 2025), your leader will transport you to Exmouth in the morning for any activities, including any pre-booked whale shark tours you may have booked.
DAY 6
Day 6 • Karijini National Park
Today is mainly a travel day, as you head inland past many cattle stations to reach the outback oasis of Karijini National Park. Get stuck into a good book, your favourite podcasts or hit your travel playlist and watch the land pass you by. Along the way, you’ll pass through Tom Price – this small town is known for its iron ore mining – before reaching your camp that overlooks the scenic Hamersley Range, where you’ll spend the next three nights.

Day 7 • Karijini National Park
Enjoy a full day of exploration in Karijini National Park today, following your leader to the gorgeous gorges and swimming holes. 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. See Dales Gorge, where you can cool off in Fortescue Falls and Circular Pool, then in the afternoon you’ll visit the Visitors Centre. Here, you’ll deep dive into the culture of the First Nations people of the area, then sit down to dinner as a group around the campfire.

Fantastic experience, so much to see and distance covered, fast paced and challenging at times but an excellent way to see these regions. Jim was a great tour guide, helpful, thoughtful but also encouraging autonomy and team work. Great value and meals, fresh and tasty.

F rom the moment my tour guide Michael pick me up I felt safe and comfortable. His knowledge of this area of Australia was phenomenal, and his demonstrations of how the land formed were very engaging. Our group consisted of ages 25 to 84, with vegans, gluten and nut allergies, but Michael catered to everyone’s needs. His culinary skills amazed, along with his organisation we were all able to enjoyed our trip. My highlight was Karijini National Park. We had an amazing day swimming in the reef with Manta Rays, an optional extra, and of course a day swimming with the Whale Sharks, a must that needs booking in advance. Thank you Michael and Intrepid for giving me an awesome experience that I will remember for ever.
