4 Day Monkey Mia Return

Fancy a trip up the West Coast, the Boogie Bus can take you there

Day 1

Perth - Kalbarri

All aboard the Boogie Bus! Upon departure we wave goodbye to the hustle and bustle, the 9 to 5 and traffic lights, and welcome our new adventure. Heading north we connect up with the longest road in the world- Highway 1, and in no time are amongst the seasonal blooms and wilderness. The eeriness of the Pinnacles Desert lures us in and we lose ourselves on foot amid the ancient stone pillars. After lunch on Jurien Bay's beautiful coast, we hit the road bound for the daredevil sand dunes of Geraldton to test our sandboarding skills. Watching the sun melt before us, we cruise on into Kalbarri , our overnight accomodation.

Day 2

Kalbarri - Monkey Mia

After an early rise and a stretch looking over the Indian Ocean, we take a short drive to the Murchison Gorge in Kalbarri National Park . The morning is ours to discover the wonders of Natures Window and the Z-Bend Gorge , and for those who are adventurous, a chance to try your hand at abseiling. (An optional activity with additional cost.) Heading down 150m into the heart of the gorge, we take time out to explore and cool off in the tempting fresh water rock pools. This afternoon, we head towards Shark Bay World Heritage Area, stopping for a swim in the crystal clear waters of Shell Beach . Tonight we reside in luxury, staying at Monkey Mia Dolphin Beach Resort . Watch the sun go down with a glass of your favourite.

Day 3

Monkey Mia - Horrocks Beach House

Wake up on the world famous Monkey Mia beach to an enchanting sunrise over Peron Peninsula . A unique and magical experience awaits as the resident bottlenose dolphins come in shore to meet the crew. Save a photograph for the cheeky but popular pelicans who make themselves known at feeding times! For the rest of the morning, enjoy Monkey Mia's treasure trove of activities- sail on the Shotover catamaran, take a guided aboriginal walk, hit the beach volleyball, canoe or paddle the calm bay or simply soak up the sun on a quiet stretch of beach. After a relaxing morning we depart Monkey Mia and continue to explore the rest of Shark Bay. Stopping at Ocean Park we get up close and personal with their baby turtle sanctuary and their myraid of shark pools . After a chance to spot all these creatures and more in the wild from the lookout at Eagle Bluff , we venture further towards Hamelin Pool and visit the ancient Stromatolites while lunch is prepared. An afternoon in the Boogie Bus with great games and travelling tunes sees us cruise into Horrocks Beach for a beautiful swim at dusk.

Day 4

Horrocks Bay - Perth

After a morning swim for the brave, we continue south. Passing Greenough Wildlife Park , we get the opporunity to have a close encounter with the south-west Carpet Python and many other little critters. A short drive will see us into the crayfishing town of Dongara where we can stretch out on the grass with lunch with views over the harbour. Passing by the outskirts of Perth we meander through the Swan Valley and taste luscious wines that WA has to offer. Arriving in Perth about 6pm, you may be keen for a dropoff at one of Northbridge's local bars for a refreshing ale.
