6-Day Esperance & Margaret River Adventure Tour

Your adventure begins with a 6:00 am departure from Perth as we travel towards Western Australia’s rugged southern coastline.

Our first stop is the historic town of York, the state’s oldest inland settlement. Stretch your legs, grab a coffee and explore its heritage streets before continuing through the Wheatbelt.

Later, we visit the iconic Wave Rock. Standing around 15 metres high and estimated to be 2.7 billion years old, this remarkable granite formation resembles a giant ocean wave frozen in stone. It is one of Western Australia’s most photographed natural attractions.

From here, we continue to Fitzgerald River National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve renowned for its exceptional biodiversity, dramatic coastline and hundreds of endemic plant species.

This evening, we arrive at Four Mile Campground. Enjoy a freshly prepared camp dinner before relaxing beneath an incredible canopy of stars.

Wake to the sounds of nature before hiking East Mount Barren. This 3 km return trail is moderately challenging, with rocky scrambling near the summit, and rewards you with panoramic views across the Eyre Range and the surrounding wilderness.

After the hike, we travel to Esperance, where you’ll have free time to purchase lunch and explore the town before joining the Dabungool Cultural Experience. Led by Wudjari Nyungar mother-and-daughter guides, this guided coastal walk introduces the six Noongar seasons, traditional bush foods, medicinal plants and the enduring connection between the Wudjari people and Country.

Later, we arrive at Cape Le Grand National Park and set up camp at the famous Lucky Bay. Relax on the dazzling white sand, swim in the turquoise water and keep an eye out for the western grey kangaroos that regularly visit the beach.
