 There's
so much to see and do in each area that these tours are organised
so that you ride to an area one day, explore via bike and foot
the next and then move on to the next area the following day where
you do the same again. A day exploring each main centre gives
you time to visit the wonderful coastline and countryside and
soak up the atmosphere.
You can either ride to Exmouth and fly back to Perth (or your
next destination) or ride the bike back and visit other areas
of interest on the return journey. Highlights of the tour include...
Pinnacles Desert - 250km
north of Perth in the Nambung National Park you'll find these
incredible limestone pillars emerging from the desert. A dawn
or dusk visit is a must to capture them in the right light. Surrounding
the park are beautiful, empty beaches and a wildflower wonderland
in Spring.
Murchison River Gorges and Coastline
- Kalbarri is a lovely small town on the banks of the Murchison
River where it flows into the Indian Ocean. South of town are
spectacular beaches, huge towering red coastal cliffs and amazing
pink lakes. Kalbarri National Park is accessed by a good condition
26km gravel road. You'll see rugged outback with stunning gorges
carved out over the millennia by the Murchison River. Visit Z-Bend,
The Loop and Nature's Window. You'll experience the incredible
isolation of this pristine area and if you'd prefer not to take
the gravel road on the bike guided tours can be arranged.
 Monkey
Mia Dolphins - Wake up early and stroll down to the beach
to see wild dolphins just a metre or two from the beach! With
one eye out of the water they are genuinely interested in who's
there and it's amazing to see them playing so close to shore.
On the way in (or out) of this World Heritage Listed area you'll
see the huge views over Shark Bay from Eagle Bluff, walk on Shell
Beach made up of tiny cockle shells as far as the eye can see
& wonder at Stromatolites which are the earth's oldest living
fossils. They saw the dawn of life itself and are widely accepted
as being responsible for making the earth suitable for higher
life forms.
A great optional excursion at Monkey Mia is to walk with an aboriginal
guide who'll explain the history of the area, show you how to
find bush tucker, water and medicine and bring the barren desert
to life. It's a highly recommended experience and especially at
just AU$30 per person.
Ningaloo Reef & Cape Range National
Park - Ningaloo is the longest fringing reef in the world
and its isolated location means it is one of the most pristine
too. You can snorkel or dive on the incredible 300km reef simply
by stepping off the empty white beaches into the amazing underwater
world with over 520 species of fish and 250 species of coral.
Swim with manta rays and turtles all year round and whale sharks
in season (April to September) and then visit the deep red outback
gorges of Cape Range National Park before cruising up Yardie Creek
with a Ranger who will tell you all about the local area (optional).
Forget The Great Barrier Reef - Ningaloo is next to shore, remote,
pristine and with good facilities at the tiny village of Coral
Bay and the slightly larger town of Exmouth.
This is a spectacular tour through the outback along an unspoilt
coastline with friendly people, good accommodation and loads to
see on the way. If you'd like to see the 'real' Austrlalia - this
is it.
There is no difference in costs if you
ride alone or with a pillion.
* Flights are not included
in the price.
Note: the reason
the 9 day tour is close to the cost of the 12 day tour is due
to the costs involved in shipping the bikes back to Perth from
Exmouth. Many people like to ride one way as a single road services
the west coast and so flying back means that you don't have to
ride it twice.
N.B. This tour can be adjusted to suit your timescales
and preferences - just ask!
