Perth, Australia
I drove towards Jurien Bay, which is about a 2,5-hour drive. Along the way you’ll have lots of highlights and places to visit, so count one full day to get to Jurien Bay.
My first stop was Yanchep National Park where I saw koalas in the wild for the first time in my life. They are the cutest! Many parts of this park were closed due to Covid-19 so I continued my drive to Lancelin Sand Dune.

Kalbarri National Park, Australia
The drive from Jurien Bay to Kalbarri National Park is quite long and there are not so many highlights along this route. A lot of people stop in Geraldton, but I decided to skip this town and went straight to the beautiful Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake.

Monkey Mia, Australia
On day 4, I went to Monkey Mia which was a 4-hour drive from Kalbarri National Park. I was super excited to go to Monkey Mia as it’s the only place in Western Australia where you can swim with dolphins in their natural habitat.

Coral Bay, Australia
After days of exploring and driving through the red sands, I arrived at Coral Bay. A little beach town situated right on the doorstep of the beautiful Ningaloo Reef.
Ningaloo Reef is Australia’s only fringing reef and is listed on a UNESCO World Heritage list for its incredible biodiversity. The moment I arrived, I couldn’t wait to grab my snorkels and go for a dive. Depending on the time of year, you can see and swim with whale sharks, humpback whales, and manta rays!
