Welcome to Broome with its white sandy beaches and tropical waters. Enjoy a two night stay.

Take an opportunity to fly in a seaplane and experience the Horizontal Falls on an exhilarating ride (at additional cost, must be booked prior to departure).

Welcome to the Pilbara, the rural north of Western Australia, whose staggering scope contains some of the world’s most ancient landscapes. At double the size of the United Kingdom, the Pilbara region is filled with Indigenous archaeological sites, white sandy beaches, dramatic rocky canyons and colonial ghost towns. It’s also home to a sizeable mining industry, making it very much a land of extremes.

Scenic Enrich
Your first port of call in the Pilbara is Port Hedland, its second largest town. On your afternoon Port Hedland Harbour Cruise, which sets sail from the town’s natural harbour, discover the secrets of the largest bulk export port in Australia.

Whilst on the North West Coastal Highway, stop in Cossack, a historic ghost town in the Pilbara and see the Red Dog memorial. Check in for your two-night stay in the city of Karratha.

Karratha is “the heart of the West Pilbara Coast”, and a great headquarters for anyone exploring the nearby Dampier Archipelago and the Burrup Peninsula. Today, travel to Murujuga National Park and marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage site of ancient rock engravings depicting human figures and animal life, including some extinct species.

Journey to the resort town of Exmouth. A gateway to the Ningaloo Marine Park, Exmouth is a favourite of those looking to spot some of the region’s abundance of undersea life, including manta rays and the awe-inspiring humpback whales. Here you’ll enjoy a two-night Scenic Special Stay.

Start your day on the water with a revealing tour of the Ningaloo Reef. This coral viewing cruise opens up the underwater world of the World Heritage-listed reef. Learn about the innovative methods at work to protect the aquatic ecosystem and its colourful denizens while you enjoy a unique view of Ningaloo’s amazing coral formations. Afterwards, pay a visit to historic Vlamingh Head Lighthouse for stunning views over Lighthouse Bay. Built in 1912, the lighthouse helped keep the coast safe until 1967, when it was stripped of its light and started its second life as a top tourist destination.

Scenic Sunset Drinks
Enjoy a drink at Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort bar and watch the trawlers head out to begin their evening’s work, set against a beautiful Indian Ocean sunset.

From there, you’ll head south to the coastal town of Carnarvon, where the desert meets the sea. Known as WA’s food bowl, Carnarvon is home to booming seafood and fruit and vegetable industries, as well as a thriving watersports scene. Surfing, snorkelling, swimming and fishing are all popular pursuits in the town all year round. During your stay, you’ll visit the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum, which shines a spotlight on the little-known but crucial role the town played in the Apollo 11 moon landing. Discover the history of Carnarvon’s Overseas Telecommunication Dish facility, which now houses the museum. At the end of the day, arrive at your hotel for your overnight stay.

Your journey south continues as you reach Monkey Mia.

You’ll visit Hamelin Pool, home to the world’s best-known colony of stromatolites. Also known as ‘living fossils’, stromatolites are a relic from an era billions of years in Earth’s past, and a fascinating glimpse at the beginning of life on the planet. Take a 200m boardwalk stroll at Hamelin Pool for a unique look at these prehistoric wonders. Tonight, enjoy the first of two nights at your hotel.
