Day 1: Perth - Kalbarri
Ocean air, epic views and your first taste of WA’s wild west. We roll out of Perth and kick things off along the coast with a walk through the Three Bays Walks at Greenhead — think rugged cliffs, turquoise water and plenty of photo stops. After lunch by the sea at Dynamite Bay, we cruise north along Indian Ocean Drive, soaking up classic west coast scenery.
Before reaching Geraldton, we stop at the iconic Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake — a WA bucket-list favourite and perfect for snapping that unreal pink-water shot. From here, it’s on to Kalbarri’s dramatic coastline, exploring the Natural Bridge and wandering along the cliffs at Castle Cove. Tonight, we settle into the chilled coastal town of Kalbarri, where the river meets the ocean and sunsets hit hard.

From here, we head to Shell Beach, where the sand is made entirely of tiny white shells stretching as far as you can see.
