This 10-day Broome to Perth tour is a high-impact Western Australia adventure that blends the rugged Pilbara with world-class coastal highlights.

It’s designed for travellers who want an active itinerary (walks, swims, snorkelling) balanced with scenic driving and relaxed coastal time.
The Broome to Perth tour itinerary below is a typical route and may change due to weather, road conditions, park access and operational requirements.
Day 1: Broome to Eighty Mile Beach – Pilbara station stay
Start your Broome to Perth tour in Broome and head south along the edge of the Great Sandy Desert. Stop at Eighty Mile Beach for a walk on the white sand, then continue into the Pilbara for an overnight station stay.
Day 2: Pilbara to Karijini National Park (via Port Hedland)
Travel toward Karijini with a stop in Port Hedland, Australia’s iron ore hub. Depending on timing, you may visit a gorge this afternoon; otherwise, settle into camp in/near Karijini for an early night before a full day of exploring.
Day 3: Karijini National Park – gorges, lookouts and swimming holes
Spend the day exploring Karijini’s famous landscapes: dramatic rock ravines, freshwater pools and walking trails. Highlights can include areas such as Weano Gorge, Hancock Gorge, Dales Gorge and Oxers Lookout (route varies by conditions and guide timing).
Day 4: Karijini National Park – second day of exploring
Another full day to tick off more of Karijini—gorge walks, swims and lookout views. Your guide will tailor the day to conditions and group ability, balancing active sections with time to relax and enjoy the scenery.
Day 5: Karijini to Ningaloo region (Exmouth / Coral Bay area)
Depart Karijini and travel through the vast Pilbara bushland and cattle stations. Today is primarily a transit day with big distances as you reposition toward the Ningaloo coast for the next stage of the Broome to Perth tour.
Day 6: Cape Range National Park + Turquoise Bay / Vlamingh Head (seasonal options) – travel to Coral Bay
Explore the Exmouth region with time for beaches and coastal viewpoints. Depending on season, you may have the option to snorkel or scuba in search of whale sharks or manta rays (extra cost). Enjoy Cape Range National Park highlights, then continue to Coral Bay.
Day 7: Ningaloo Reef day – Coral Bay freedom day
Enjoy a full day at Ningaloo Reef. Snorkel from shore, join an optional boat tour (glass-bottom boat or snorkel cruise), or simply relax by the beach. Ningaloo is a fringing reef, meaning the marine life starts close to the shoreline.
Day 8: Coral Bay to Shark Bay – Shell Beach – Monkey Mia
Cross the Tropic of Capricorn and continue south. Stop at Shell Beach—an extraordinary stretch made almost entirely of shells—then arrive at Monkey Mia for the night.
Day 9: Monkey Mia dolphins + stromatolites – on to Kalbarri (via Murchison Gorge / Nature’s Window if time permits)
See the famous Monkey Mia dolphins, then continue through the Shark Bay region to view stromatolites—some of the oldest living organisms on Earth. Travel south toward Kalbarri, with a possible stop at Murchison Gorge / Nature’s Window depending on timing.
Day 10: Kalbarri region + Pink Lake (Port Gregory) + Pinnacles Desert – arrive Perth
Enjoy a scenic final day through WA’s coastal landscapes. Visit Pink Lake at Port Gregory, then continue to Nambung National Park to see the Pinnacles Desert limestone formations. Arrive into Perth in the evening where your Broome to Perth tour ends (no accommodation included for this night).
