YOUR DAY BEGINS...

With pick up from your Exmouth accommodation just before 7am. Enjoy the picturesque views on the drive into Cape Range National Park and our first destination: Yardie Creek (approx. 1 hour 10 minutes). Along the way your guide will provide commentary on the natural and human history of the area, and you may be lucky enough to spot some of the local wildlife: emu, dingo, wallaroos or birds of prey. Upon arrival at Yardie Creek, your guide will brief you on the walk here, which is 2km return and will take 1-1.5 hours. There’s no need to rush here, as you navigate a couple of rocky scrambles with the help of your guide, spot black-flanked rock wallabies, osprey, and shore birds, and stop for photo ops.

Following some morning tea, we’ll then take the 20 minute drive up the coast to Turquoise Bay for a guided drift snorkel at one of Western Australia’s most famous beaches. Your guide will be with you every step of the way, and after fitting you out with snorkel gear, a snorkel and safety briefing, they’ll head into the water with you to point out beautiful corals and marine life. You can expect to see hundreds of colourful reef fish here, vibrant corals, and perhaps even a turtle or reef shark as you drift along with the current.

All of this adventurous activity means you will have worked up an appetite, so following our snorkel at Turquoise Bay we head up to the Milyering Visitor centre where your guide will prepare a fresh lunch while you take a look at the informative displays or the gift shop.

We then make our way back into Exmouth town, with a stop at the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse along the way, to take in the panoramic views of reef, range and Exmouth Gulf.

Your guide will farewell you at your accommodation around 3pm with a promise to have some photos of your adventure available soon for you to enjoy.
