80 mile Beach to Karijini Natonal Park

Karijini National Park, situated in the Pilbara region of WA and traditional home to the Banyjima, Kurrama & Innawonga Aboriginal people. It is the second largest National Park in the state, and hosts spectacular river gorges and waterfalls with walking trails to great vantage points. It takes a full two days to fully explore and bask in the magnificence of this national park and it's gorges. The Hamersley Ranges were formed over 2,500 million years ago and are some of the most unusual landforms on earth. From cascading waterfalls found deep in the gorges to fresh still pools ideal for swimming, we experience it all. Some of the gorges are so narrow that you can touch both sides at once. We will visit areas such as Dales, Gorge, Fortesque Falls, Fern Pool, Circular Pool, Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge amongst others. The highlight of many passengers trip to Australia. It was already very hot despite being early in the morning, as Otto set us out on a guided walk to some of the park's best attractions.

Karratha to Ningaloo Reef / Coral Bay

Exmouth, a small coastal town from where the Ningaloo Reef is most easily accessible. Unlike the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast, Ningaloo can be reached without the need for a long boat trip, and our group literally swam out to it from the pristine Turquoise Bay, situated just outside of Exmouth. Otto provided everybody with flippers and snorkel and we waded out in the crystal clear waters to marvel at the wonderful array of tropical fish, manta rays, turtles and even a reef shark which we were assured was not interested in humans. Following the fast moving shark proved to be a bit too difficult so I was happy to instead swim peacefully alongside a turtle, especially since the current allowed you to drift along without any real effort.
