Overview

Day 1

Day 9

Day 1: Perth - Wave Rock - Fitzgerald River National Park

G'day mate! Guests will be picked up in Perth to begin this tour at 7:00am. They should be sure to have their checkout finalized by 6:45am to be ready for departure. We will begin the day by meeting as a group onboard our vehicle. Our adventure will start as we travel east over the Darling Ranges. After a break in the township of York, we will continue on our way south, stopping for lunch at Wave Rock, where we will also have the opportunity to observe this amazing rock formation. After this, we will drive further south to Fitzgerald River National Park, an internationally recognized biosphere reserve with plenty of beautiful beaches, rugged coastline, and excellent paths to walk. We will camp in this area for the night.

Day 2: Esperance

In the morning, we will hike up East Mount Barren. Then, we will drive along the coast until we reach Esperance, where we will take a look around this remote town for a bit. Today, we will get to see some of Australia's most beautiful scenery. This area of Western Australia has 9 national parks, including the most spectacular of all, Cape Le Grand National Park, where stunning blue seas mix with powder white beaches and secluded bays that allow for stops and swims. We will set up camp just steps from the beach. We will enjoy some lunch before taking the rest of the afternoon to explore this amazing area at our own leisure. We will camp here for the night.

Day 3: Cape Le Grand National Park

Today, we will wake up early to take a walk down by the beach. Then, we will leave Cape Le Grand National Park and head to Frenchmen's Peak, which provides stunning views of the bay and islands of the Rechercher Archipelago. After this, we'll enjoy lunch before heading back through Esperance and north to the Eyre Highway to head east to our camp for the night.

Day 4: The Great Australian Bight

Today, we will travel through the diverse Australian countryside, stopping to look around Eucla, an old telegraph town buried by sand dunes. We will stop for the night at the Koonalda Homestead. The reality of Nullarbor will really hit us: this huge expanse of karst limestone has many hidden secrets including the largest underground lake system in the country, which is the destination for many international divers who come here to explore this unique landscape. Tonight, we will camp without electricity, toilets, or showers. Be prepared!

Day 5: Nullarbor Plain

Today, we will see the majestic Nullarbor Cliffs and stop at the famous wombat/camel/kangaroo road sign as we cross the Nullarbor. Driving onto Nullarbor Plain, we will cross the dingo fence while traveling through Yalata aboriginal lands. In the afternoon, we will head to the Ceduna Arts and Cultural Center, where we will learn more about the different styles and meaning behind many forms of indigenous art. After a short stop in Streaky Bay for supplies, we will head to Coodlie Park bush camp in the afternoon, where we will spend the night.

Day 6: Eyre Peninsula

This morning, we will head out to swim with sea lions and dolphins at Baird Bay, a pristine coastline and sanctuary for a multitude of land and sea animals. This optional experience is available to us for an additional $150 per person, and lasts 3-4 hours, leaving a lasting memory for the rest of our lives. After lunch at Baird Bay, we will visit Murhpy's Haystacks, incredible granite rock formations sculpted into wondrous, weird shapes over the course of millions of years. Then, we will head to Talia Caves and the Lake Newland Sand Dunes to try sand boarding.

Day 7: Port Lincoln

This morning, we will travel toward Elliston to drive along the amazing coastline and take one last look at the amazing cliffs in the bight at Locks Well. For lunch, we will go to Port Lincoln, where we will also get some time to explore. After this, we will head to Mikkira Station, where we will be camping for the night at a private campground with koalas in nearly every tree. We'll have some time to take a walk around the property and see some Giant Yakkas and spot some koalas in the Manna Gum.

Day 8: Port Lincoln

In the morning, those who are feeling particularly brave will have the opportunity to take a tour to see a Great White Shark, which includes video highlights of the experience. For those who do not wish to be quite extreme, we can alternatively head to Whalers Way Conservation Park for some spectacular, stunning coastlines. If we are lucky, we will see some kangaroos and emus in this privately owned flora and fauna reserve. This drive is followed by a walk to Lincoln National Park to have a relaxed lunch and perhaps a swim, followed by a visit to the Glen Forest Wildlife Park to see more of these animals up close and even hand feed them. We will head to our camp in Port Neill for the night.

Day 9: Flinders Ranges/Adelaide

Today we will head through Whyalla and into Port Augusta, until we reach the Wadlata Cultural Center which will help explain the formation of Nullarbor, the Flinders Range, and the Australian continent as a whole. Then we will head to the southern Flinders Range, stopping at a place called Mount Remarkable National Park for lunch and a walk through Davey's Gully. After lunch, we will hit the road one last time to head for Adelaide, South Australia's capital, where the tour will come to an end upon arrival. It is recommended that guests book a night for themselves at a local hotel; though there are no formal activities planned, sometimes the group likes to get together and reflect on the big journey they just finished over a meal and a few drinks. Please see "Departure and Return" for more detailed information regarding when to book departure flights.

Adelaide, AU

Adelaide, the capital of Southern Australia, is loved by travelers for its food, wine, beaches, festivals, and sporting events. It is considered the most "livable" city in Australia. Those journeying Down Under won't want to miss this lively city!

If you leave a trip for any reason after it has commenced we are not obliged to make any refunds for unused services.
Cancellation Policy: We may cancel a trip at any time up to 60 days before departure, subject to clause 15. We may cancel a trip at any time prior to departure if, due to terrorism, natural disasters, political instability or other external events it is not viable for us to operate the planned itinerary.

Minimum: General Policy: For the majority of our trips the minimum age for children is 12. All travelers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult who is responsible for the child's day to day care. Please note we cannot guarantee triple or joining rooms for families; accompanying adults may be required to share with others in the group on a twin share basis. Variations: A minimum age of 18 applies to many of our Overland Adventures, while a minimum age of 5 applies to our Family trips.
Maximum: General Policy: For the majority of our trips we have no upper age limit though we remind you that our trips can be physically demanding and a Self-Assessment form is required for all passengers 70 years and over. Variations: On many our Overland Adventures a maximum age of 70 applies. Please refer to the "your fellow travelers" section of the relevant Trip Notes to check if any specific age variations apply.
Small groups & combination trips: Our trips are guaranteed to depart once they have one fully paid traveler (unless minimum group size specifically states otherwise); this means at times we can have very small groups. Many of our trips are designed to fit with other departures to create a longer "combination" trip; this means that some of your group may have already been travelling together for some weeks when you commence your trip. If you would like to know how many people are booked on your trip or any combination trip it is part of please ask prior to making your booking.
Flexibility: You appreciate and acknowledge that the nature of this type of travel requires considerable flexibility and you should allow for alternatives. The itinerary provided for each trip is representative of the types of activities contemplated, but it is understood that the route, schedules, itineraries, amenities and mode of transport may be subject to alteration without prior notice due to local circumstances or events.
Change of itinerary: While we endeavor to operate all trips as described we reserve the right to change the trip itinerary. Please refer to our website before departure for the most recent updates to your itinerary.
Before departure: If we make a major change we will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure. The definition of a major change is deemed to be a change affecting at least one day in five of the itinerary. When a major change is made you may choose between accepting the change, obtaining a refund of money paid on the land portion of the trip only or accepting an alternative tour offered.
After departure: We reserve the right to change an itinerary after departure due to local circumstances or events outside of our control. In such emergency circumstances the additional cost of any necessary itinerary alterations will be covered by you: please refer to the Trip Notes for your trip for details of Emergency Funds which you agree to carry, to be used in such instances.
Please note we are not responsible for any incidental expenses that may be incurred as a result of the change of itinerary such as visas, vaccinations or non-refundable flights.
Authority on Tour: The decision of the group leader is final on all matters likely to affect the safety or well-being of any person participating in the trip. If you fail to comply with a decision made by a group leader, or interfere with the well-being of the group, the group leader may order you to leave the trip immediately, with no right of refund. You must at all times comply with the laws, customs, foreign exchange and drug regulations of all countries visited, and you also agree to travel in accordance with our responsible travel guidelines.
Acceptance of Risk: You acknowledge that the nature of the trip is adventurous and participation involves a degree of personal risk. You will be visiting places where the political, cultural and geographical attributes present dangers and physical challenges greater than those present in our daily lives.
