about
Perth to Broome
You have 21 days to drive from Perth to Broome. At first you’ll travel up the coast. There are many beautiful, long, isolated beaches which you can use for swimming, kayaking and other water activities. Including spotting dolphins! However, the real highlight is the Ningaloo Reef. It rivals the Great Barrier Reef, but you don’t need a boat, just jump in from the beach for some world-class snorkelling.
You will also see vast stretches of red land and desert as you head inland to explore spectacular Karijini National Park and it’s waterfalls, swimming holes and gorges. Then head North to Broome, stopping by a couple of small towns; and one very long beach.
Expect to get fit with lots of hiking, snorkelling and exercise as you appreciate the natural sights. This is a no-frills adventure – you’ll be setting up your own tents, cooking your own dinner and sharing your tent with one or two other people. The target age group is 18-35.
