Western Australia - An Outback to Ocean Odyssey

Surrounded by beaches and bursting with greenery, pretty Perth is your first stop. Dine out at rooftop bars and innovative restaurants before hitting the road to start your adventure.      

At over 680 miles in length, the Coral Coast Highway stretches from Perth to Exmouth and is home to the largest fringing reef in the world, Ningaloo Reef. Known for its 300 varieties of colourful coral, this underwater haven is a paradise for snorkellers and offers the chance to swim with larger marine life such as turtles, graceful manta rays and the gentle whale shark.      

Other highlights of your drive include the golden pillars of the Pinnacles Desert and the rugged outback of Kalbarri National Park where you can hike through stunning gorges and red sandstone rock arches. In Shark Bay Marine Park, stay right on the beach and hand feed wild dolphins swimming in the shallows at Monkey Mia, before venturing into beautiful Francois Peron National Park to see where the outback and ocean meet.
