See Sugarloaf Rock and Canal Rock which offer amazing scenery along the coastline.

Take in the view from Mount Chudalup, experience D'Entrecasteaux National Park and Mandalay Beach. Marvel at the Tingle trees at the Tree Top Walk. And visit Albany including Torndirrup National Park.

Monkey Mia Highlights

We travel to Kalbarri along the Wildflower Road (Mt Lesueur is world renowned for its biodiversity). Port Gregory with Hutt Lagoon (farmed for the beta carotine) to the coastal lookout of Kalbarri National Park with the Natural Bridge and Red Bluff. Then Nature's Window, Hawks Head lookout in Kalbarri National Park. Stops at Shell Beach and Eagle Bluff lookout before arriving in Monkey Mia. We wait for the dolphins and listen to the explanations of the rangers before heading back to Perth stopping at the Stromatolites and the Pinnacles.

Pinnacles Day Tours

We will pick you up from your hotel and we will then drive through the Swan Valley, where vines are grown for more than 150 years on both sides of the Swan River. Nowadays you can also visit cheese, chocolate and ice cream factories Along the Brand Highway we are travelling to the Nambung National Park with the Pinnacles, a group of about 150,000 weird limestone formations ranging from less than a metre to up to five metres height. Formed 15 to 30 thousand years ago from the deposits of shell left behind when the sea receded, time, erosion and the winds have combined to form such formations as the Indian Chief, Milk Bottles and many others. When seen against their background of golden sand, it is reminiscent of a field of ancient ruins. Lunch will be unpacked in one of the beautiful bays near Cervantes before we are heading back towards Perth. On our way back, we will travel on some gravel roads in the hope to encounter some wildlife. In Lancelin we admire the white sand dunes reminding us of snow covered hills. Then we are visiting the Yanchep National Park with its Koala colony.

Wave Rock

We travel through the Wheat Belt of Western Australia to Hyden (340 kilometres from Perth) with the famous Wave Rock. Wave Rock is a granite cliff, 15 metres high and 110 metres long. Erosion created this rock, it undercut the base and left a rounded overhang. Water from the springs running down the rock during wetter months dissolves minerals and created the colouring of the wave. It is dated 2700 million years old, amongst the oldest in Australia. In spring, a lot of orchids can be found on this granite boulder. In the old days this rock was used for the water supply of Hyden. From the top you can enjoy a marvellous 360 degree sight over the endless landscape. On our way back to Perth we will stop in York with his historical buildings, i.e. the town hall and the castle hotel. York was founded in 1830 and is the oldest inland town of Western Australia.
