Kalbarri - Monkey Mia. Early this morning, we head into Kalbarri National Park to explore one of Western Australia's most iconic landscapes. Here, water has carved dramatic gorges through layers of ancient sandstone. We’ll visit Nature’s Window and the Kalbarri Skywalk, both offering spectacular views over the Murchison Gorge. During spring, this region comes alive with colourful wildflowers, adding another layer to its beauty.

Continuing north, we stop at the historic Billabong Roadhouse, where you can enjoy lunch and refreshments. A well-known stop along the highway, it has been welcoming travellers since 1962. This afternoon, we visit Shell Beach, a unique stretch of coastline made entirely of millions of tiny white shells — one of only a few places like it in the world.

Our day ends at Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, where we stay right on the beach within the World Heritage listed Shark Bay area. Resident dolphins are often seen close to shore, and you’ll have free time to relax, explore the area, or hire a kayak for a paddle. Wildlife such as turtles, dugongs, emus and kangaroos are often spotted nearby.

In the evening, you have the option to join the Didgeridoo Dreaming Night Tour, which departs at 7 PM from Little Lagoon Creek on Stella Rowley Drive near Denham. This two-hour experience takes place around a campfire, where you’ll hear stories of local Aboriginal culture and history while enjoying the sounds of didgeridoo meditation under the stars.
