Day 2: Perth
Meals: Breakfast
Accommodation: The Richardson Hotel
The sun-kissed city of Perth basks in glorious isolation from the rest of the country. The city’s glittering skyline is reflected in Swan River, which begins as the Avon River in the Darling Range, a little more than a hundred miles from Perth. Visit King’s Park and the Botanic Garden before traveling to Fremantle, which seamlessly fused its maritime and convict heritage to become a vibrant port city full of bustling markets and pubs.
Day 3: To Ningaloo Reef
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Accommodation: Sal Salis
Fly to Exmouth today and on arrival board your scenic flight by charter aircraft to the historic Yardie Creek Station, a traditional sheep pasture that is now part of Cape Range National Park. Travel onward to your luxury camp, which occupies a remote, pristine site where the outback meets the reef along the Coral Coast. Bounded by the small fishing townships of Exmouth and Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef is a jewel in Australia’s natural heritage with its white beaches and temperate waters. You’ll be staying in luxurious tented accommodations just steps from the beach and within a short swim of the multicolored coral reef that teems with marine life.

Enjoy the day at leisure. Do some snorkeling on the reef offshore and share the beautiful waters with huge schools of fish, reef sharks, manta rays and a multitude of other species. Or embark on a guided exploration of Mandu Mandu Gorge or Yardie Creek Gorge. Look out for black-footed rock wallabies, honeyeaters and emus while learning about the geology of the area. Marvel at the panoramic views from the tops of the gorges out across the wild land and the sparkling sea.
