Western Australia (Perth to Exmouth)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The stretch of Western Australia's coastline running north from Perth to Exmouth is one of the most iconic road-trip routes in the country, spanning roughly 1,300 kilometres of rugged Indian Ocean coastline. Along the way, travellers pass through the Pinnacles Desert, the turquoise lagoons of Coral Bay, and the world-famous Ningaloo Reef — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the few places on Earth where whale sharks congregate close to shore. The region draws snorkellers, divers, and wildlife lovers for encounters with manta rays, humpback whales, turtles, and dugongs. The journey combines remote, wild landscapes with laid-back coastal towns, making it a favourite among independent travellers seeking adventure well off the beaten track.

Self-Launched Perth to Exmouth & Ningaloo Reef: 8-Day DIY Coral Coast Adventure

A self-launched version of Via Travel Australia's 8-day Perth-to-Exmouth comfort tour, covering the Pinnacles, Geraldton, Kalbarri, Shark Bay/Monkey Mia, Carnarvon, Coral Bay and Ningaloo Reef. Instead of a guided minibus group trip, you'll self-drive a cheap rental car (or hop the Transwa/Integrity regional coaches) north along the Coral Coast, book your own 3-star motels and backpacker lodges, and self-book the same headline experiences — the Kalbarri Skywalk, Hutt Lagoon, the Monkey Mia dolphin feed, a Coral Bay glass-bottom/snorkel boat, and an optional whale shark swim in Exmouth. The operator's listed price starts at roughly US$2,496 pp (approx. £1,950). Going independent, expect around £1,400–1,500 pp including the whale shark swim — or under £1,000 if you skip it. Costs are approximate and based on shoulder-season rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Western Australia (Perth to Exmouth) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
