Don’t hurry, be happy! This leisurely walking tour takes in the rugged coastline, pristine waters and colourful wildflowers that make the Coral Coast a spectacular destination for an active outdoor adventure. There’s plenty of variety with hikes in national parks like Mt Lesueur and The Pinnacles (Nambung), a full day marine safari on Dirk Hartog Island and a day excursion to the Abrolhos Islands, and mixing it up with the beautiful coast lines at Monkey Mia. The only thing better than the landscapes and wildlife you’ll see are the conversations you’ll have along the way, whether it’s the insights from your leader or stories from the group.

There is the option for you to book a return road-transfer to Perth. This will leave Denham just after lunch and drive to Geraldton for the night. The next day after breakfast (included with accommodation), you will drive straight to Perth where you will be dropped off at the same pickup locations from Day 1. Meals (apart from breakfast) are not included in the cost for this transfer. We recommend you book a night's stay in Perth or Fremantle as we suggest not to book flights that evening as we cannot guarantee the return time due to traffic or other conditions out of our control.
