Swam with a whale shark!
Bucket-list ticked — swimming alongside a whale shark at Ningaloo was surreal. The crew were professional and the whole day was seamless.

Unspoilt paradise
The West coast feels wild and untouched. Snorkelling the reef and exploring the gorges were highlights. A proper adventure off the beaten track.

Remote and beautiful
Long drives through the outback but the reward is empty beaches and world-class snorkelling. Ningaloo is every bit as good as they say.

Ningaloo blew me away
Snorkelling straight off the beach with turtles and reef fish, then whale sharks out wide. WA's coast is criminally underrated. Incredible trip.

WA coast is magic
Turquoise water, white beaches and hardly a soul around. From Exmouth to the gorges, every stop was stunning. Fantastic guide and group.

Set off from Hillarys and spend the day exploring Rottnest Island at your own pace. With no cars on the island, cycling is the easiest and most enjoyable way to get around, letting you coast from one turquoise bay to the next, roll up to Wadjemup Lighthouse, or head west to take in the island’s wild, rugged edge.
This backpacker-friendly day special gives you the freedom to do Rottnest properly, with same-day return ferry travel, bike hire, and everything you need for a relaxed self-guided ride. Pack your swimsuit, feel the sea breeze on the ferry over, then spend the day chasing quiet coves, clear water, and those easy island vibes. If you like the idea of a flexible day with plenty of fresh air and a bit of adventure, this one’s a beaut.
