Best of Western Australia

(7 Days - Departs Daily on a Private Basis)
Perth & Pinnacles, Ningaloo Reef

This private tour of stunning Western Australia is perfect for anyone interested in a less-traveled region of this diverse country. It features beautiful and unusual landscapes, as well as once-in-a-lifetime activities such as swimming with whale sharks.

Begin in Perth, the sunny capital of Western Australia. Visit highlights such as Kings Park & Botanic Museum and Cottesloe Beach. Also visit Fremantle, a historic port town at the mouth of the Swan River, to see Victorian-era neighborhoods and the Western Australian Maritime Museum.

One day, enjoy a private excursion to Nambung National Park, a beautiful coastal region. Explore the fascinating Pinnacles Desert, an eerie landscape of limestone pillars emerging from the sand dunes. Then return to Perth by a scenic helicopter flight.

Continue along the coast to Ningaloo Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stay at a wilderness camp among the sand dunes of Cape Range National Park. One day, enjoy a private boat excursion to Ningaloo Reef for an unforgettable experience of swimming and snorkeling with whale sharks. Another day, opt for lodge-based activities such as kayaking over the reef, snorkeling in lagoons, catch-and-release fishing, stargazing in the dark skies, and nature walks through Mandu Mandu Gorge to spot native wildlife such as emus, wallabies and perenties.

This tour can easily be extended with additional destinations in Western Australia—such as Margaret River, the Kimberley, and Broome and Cable Beach—or combined with other Artisans of Leisure Australia itineraries.
