Easyrider Adventure Travel

First Day – start your tour!

Time to put your feet up for a fair amount of driving with our Greyhound link from Broome to Coral Bay! Today you will get a good impression of what the outback in Western Australia is all about. Vast clear skies, theatrical landscapes and miles of rich red earth and rugged rock formations. A beautiful contrast with the white sandy beaches and clear blue ocean that you will find in The Jewel of the West, Coral Bay!
Overnight: Ningaloo Club Coral Bay.

Second Day

Meet up with your Easyrider guide this morning, as you begin exploring the Ningaloo Reef, one of the worlds largest fringing reef systems. Today is a day of ‘hard’ decisions! Choose to do either the amazing Kayak/Snorkel Tour after which you receive a free photo cd of your adventure OR you can go on the scenic Glass Bottom Boat/Snorkel Tour what a brilliant way to start your day! Make the most of the free snorkel gear for the duration of your stay in Coral Bay (deposit required). For those wishing to JOJO in Exmouth you will be back on the bus at around 10am for a short drive north. Otherwise you can fill in the rest of your day by going for a nice walk, fish feeding, chartered boats, diving, quad bike tours or just drinks by the pool. It’s all on your doorstep in Coral Bay and this is your day to breath it all in! Don’t miss out on the stunning sunset before you kick back for happy hour at the Manta Bar in the Ningaloo Club.

Next is the mining town of Paraburdoo and the highest town above sea level in Western Australia- Tom Price, where we do our supermarket stop. Then it’s time for WA’s finest outback country, the breathtaking Karijini National Park.

Waking up in a safari tent while the sun is rising is a truly amazing way to start your day. And it gets even better!

We then walk to the famous Fortescue Falls followed by a refreshing swim at a sacred Aboriginal site, Fern Pool. Back on the bus we head to the Karijini Visitors Centre if time permits, before making our way to Weano Gorge for a descent into the gorge to find a picturesque place for lunch. The adrenalin continues as we climb in between narrow steep walls to Handrail Pool. Here we go for a well earned swim and further exploring, eventually we hike back up to the rim before the following adventure… Next we make our way down into the spectacular Hancock Gorge to visit the amazing scenery of the amphitheatre and do the spider-walk to get to Kermit’s Pool. There may be a chance to visit Joffre Falls (drivers discretion) before we settle into Karijini Eco Retreat to put our feet up and relax in our camp.
