Day 1 : Perth to Fitzgerald River National Park
Your untamed adventure kicks off bright and early as we hit the road out of Perth at 6 am. Our first stop is York, the oldest inland town in Western Australia. Surrounded by rolling farmland and historic charm, it’s the perfect spot to stretch your legs and get your caffeine fix.Next up is one of WA’s most iconic geological wonders, Wave Rock. This 15-metre-high granite formation looks just like a breaking ocean wave, frozen in time for over 2.7 billion years. It’s a must-snap photo op.
From here, we continue southeast through the wheatbelt, bound for the remote and biodiverse landscapes of Fitzgerald River National Park. Known for its dramatic coastal cliffs, colourful wildflowers, and over 200 plant species found nowhere else on Earth, this UNESCO-listed Biosphere Reserve is a dream for nature lovers.
We set up camp at Four Mile Campground, where the wilderness rolls all the way to the sea. After a yummy camp dinner, settle in under the stars and breathe in the wild beauty of WA’s southern coast.
Accommodation: Swag camping with amenities at Four Mile Campground
Meals Included: Dinner
Day 2 : Fitzgerald River to Cape Le Grand National Park
Start the day with a hike up East Mount Barren, a short but challenging 3 km return trail that climbs rugged quartzite slopes with a bit of scrambling near the top. The payoff? Epic views over the jagged Eyre Range, and nearby peaks.
After the climb, we’ll head into Esperance. A town that punches well above its weight with stunning beaches and no less than nine national parks on its doorstep. You’ll have time to grab lunch, and stretch your legs before connecting to Country during a 90-minute Dabungool Cultural Experience. Join local Wudjari Nyungar mother and daughter as they guide you on a coastal walk to learn about the six seasons, bushfood and medicine plants that have sustained the Wudjari people for many thousands of years.
This afternoon, we arrive in magical Cape Le Grand National Park, where wild coastlines meet brilliant blue waters. Set up camp at Lucky Bay, a beach so white it squeaks, and often shared with friendly western grey kangaroos. As the sun dips below the horizon, enjoy a camp dinner and a front-row seat to nature’s nightly show.
Accommodation: Swag camping with amenities at Lucky Bay
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 3 : Exploring Cape Le Grand National Park
Start your day with sunrise on the sand at Lucky Bay, where the western grey kangaroos are often spotted bouncing along the beach in the early light, one of those only-in-Australia moments.
Those feeling adventurous can tackle the Frenchman Peak hike, a short but challenging Grade 5 climb. This 3 km return trail is steep, rocky, and best suited for experienced hikers who are comfortable scrambling across granite slabs and navigating uneven surfaces. If the weather’s dry and the skies are clear, the payoff is massive: 360° views of aquamarine bays, bright white beaches, and the islands of the Recherche Archipelago stretched out below.
The rest of the day is yours to explore Cape Le Grand National Park, one of Australia’s most biodiverse and breathtaking coastal regions. Hike bushland trails, swim in turquoise bays, relax on the sand, or take it slow and soak up the serenity.
We stay another night at Lucky Bay, where another beautiful sunset and a camp-cooked dinner await.
Accommodation: Swag camping at Lucky Bay
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 : Cape Le Grand to Bremer Bay
After breakfast, we farewell Cape Le Grand and begin our journey west. The first stop is Esperance for a coffee break, while your guide stocks up on supplies. Then, on through Ravensthorpe, a great spot for lunch and a quick look at the town’s colourful silo art.
By afternoon, we roll into Bremer Bay, a peaceful coastal town known for its turquoise waters and wild beaches. Choose to stretch your legs on two scenic short walks. A gentle estuary trail with crystal-clear waters where the estuary meets sea, and a quick climb to a coastal lookout with sweeping views over the ocean. Keep an eye out for seabirds and, if you’re lucky, migrating whales.
Tonight’s base is Tozer’s Bush Camp, a rustic hideaway tucked into native bushland just outside town. With basic facilities, bush trails, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s the perfect spot to unwind and soak up the serenity. If you’re up for it, there’s a 4.7 km loop walk from camp for an extra dose of nature before dinner.
Accommodation: Swag camping with amenities at Tozer’s Bush Camp
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 5 : Bremer Bay to Hamelin Bay
We hit the road early and head west, stopping for coffee in Albany before continuing on to William Bay National Park. Home to two of WA’s most iconic swim spots: Greens Pool and Elephant Rocks. With turquoise water, soft white sand, and dramatic granite boulders, this is the kind of place that makes you want to dive right in.
From here, we leave the coast behind and head into the towering karri forests of the southwest to visit the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree. Once used as a fire lookout, you can still climb partway up this 75 m giant using a spiral of metal spikes embedded in the trunk. It’s not for the faint-hearted, but even reaching the lower platform gives you a taste of the canopy views and adrenaline rush.
Tonight, we roll into Hamelin Bay Holiday Park, right on the beach. Kick back, enjoy dinner by the sea, and listen to the waves roll in.
Accommodation: Swag camping with amenities at Hamelin Bay Holiday Park
Meals Included: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 6 : Hamelin Bay to Perth via Margaret River
Start your day with a peaceful walk along the iconic Cape to Cape Track, where on the beach, you might be lucky enough to spot Hamelin Bay’s famous stingrays gliding right up to the shoreline.
Next, we journey into the heart of the Margaret River region, stopping at Surfers Point, home of the world-famous Margaret River Pro surf comp. After soaking up the coastal views, enjoy free time in the Margaret River township to explore and grab lunch.
In the afternoon, it’s time to taste what this region is best known for, wine, produce and local flavours. We’ll visit two tasting venues, including one celebrated cellar door, to sample the region’s finest.
Our final stop is in Busselton, where you can stretch your legs with a walk along the historic 1.8 km jetty, and explore the vibrant Origins Market, a local hub filled with artisan goods, fresh produce, crafts and gourmet treats.
We return to Perth around 7:00 pm, wrapping up six days of wild coastlines, natural wonders, and memorable moments.
