For those seeking a unique view over the gorge, there’ll also be an opportunity to test your abseil skills (own expense). A visit to the World Heritage Listed region of Shark Bay will leave you in awe of the beauty of nature. Here you can marvel at a beach made entirely of tiny shells, meet the world’s oldest living fossils, the stromatolites, and witness dolphins playing just offshore at Monkey Mia.

The region is not only home to around 2000 wild dolphins but also turtles, dugongs, kangaroos and emus! Be amazed by your visit to the World  Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef, known for its diverse marine life, manta rays and whale shark visitors! Stay overnight in Coral Bay, a town right by the beach which boasts coral so close to shore you can swim out to view it. Or join a search for whalesharks or manta rays. Whether you choose to join a boat tour or simply relax on the beach, the pristine beaches and turquoise waters here will leave a truly lasting impression.      

We follow the road as far north as Exmouth Cape, a place where rugged almost down to the sea. Stand a top Vlamingh Head at the lighthouse for views over the reef and ranges. In spring, you may even spot the migrating humpback whales going by. Complete your tour of the Cape with a visit to the snorkelling haven of Turquoise Bay. From Exmouth, we make our way back down towards  Perth stopping for many comfort breaks along the way. Take this last opportunity for you to solidify new friendships and reflect on your adventure together.

At Autopia Tours, we actively promote the protection of flora and fauna on our Western Australian Tours. It is our duty to ensure there is minimal disturbance to this World  Heritage Listed region and the species that call it home. Cultural sensitivity and respect for traditional owners should also be shown at all times.

Part of our responsibility is educating guests on minimal impact practices and the importance of ensuring the safety of wildlife and the environmental sustainability of the destinations we visit.

Learn more about EcoTourism: https://www.ecotourism.org.au/

Traditional Owners

Autopia Tours would like to begin by paying our respects to the traditional owners of this country, with specific acknowledgement to the Wurundjeri people. Please be conscious and respectful of the sensitivities of indigenous culture and the spiritual connection they have with the land at all times.

Wildlife Encounters

The natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.

Wildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.

Wildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.

Protecting our National Parks

People should remain on designated walking tracks, behind safety barriers/fences and follow all directions given by the guide/tour leader. Venturing off these can alter fragile ecosystems and can harm wildlife shelters and native vegetation. There are other dangers to be aware of too, such as cliff edges, unstable rock formations, overhanging tree branches and slippery ground cover. Remaining on tracks ensures safe visitation for guests and the environment.

No flora or fauna should be removed from their natural setting. This includes dead wood, fallen leaves, flowers and so forth, as they form part of the ecosystem of the region and their removal could cause a disturbance.

Waste Management

All buses are fitted with waste bins. No organic waste should be disposed of onto the ground. Although organic, items such as banana peels, apple cores, bread and other food scraps, are not natural/native to the region and can introduce pest species, diseases or harm to wildlife if found and eaten. We recommend all passengers bring a water bottle with you on our Grampians Tour. Purchasing bottled water contributes large amounts of plastic into the landfill. Therefore, we ask guests to bring their own bottle, as there is access to water refill stations available on our vehicles. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the tour to reduce the risk of sun exposure and dehydration.

First Aid

All our guides carry a current Level 2 First Aid certificate. Please report any accident or illness to your tour guide. We recommend anyone with an existing medical condition to carry their medication with them on tour and to notify their tour guide at the beginning of the tour.

If you are a smoker! We ask you to refrain from smoking whilst in the company of other passengers and limit it to designated smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted on any of our vehicles, or in any type of accommodation including permanent campsites. We make frequent ‘comfort stops’ to allow free time for guests but cannot guaranteed smoke breaks. Please ensure you dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly and appropriately.

The weather in Western Australia can fluctuate and be extreme at times. It is not unheard of for temperatures to reach over 40+ degrees Celsius during the day and in the evening the temperature drops dramatically. Please ensure you have checked the average temperatures for the time of year you are travelling and have packed adequate clothing. In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead, unless contacted by the provider.

What is your Vaccination Policy?

In accordance with current Government regulations, it is no longer a requirement to be double vaccinated, although we do highly recommend it.

4 thoughts on “7 Day Perth to Exmouth Tour”

  1. This tour was full of amazing experiences & spectacular sights. I would highly recommend the tour.
    The tour leader Rhett did a great job of driving, guiding, cooking & ensuring that every person was having a good time. He also provided great nightly entertainment.
    The tour group consisted of people from the ages of 18 to 70. The interaction between the different generations was easy & relaxed.
    I don’t think I will ever forget seeing the majestic whalesharks, the amazing blue colour of the water & the warm friendships that developed within the group.

  2. Just returned from our wonderful WA coral coast adventure. A fun-filled experience with amazing views and the opportunity to travel with a great group of people. Big thanks to our tour guide Rhett, who did an excellent job taking care of us and putting a lot of effort in to make sure everyone had a great time. Highly recommend this outstanding tour.

  3. Long & hard, but worth it!
    This tour requires MANY hours in the bus, and the accommodations aren’t great — even ordering a private room, there were three nights when I had to share a bathroom — but you get to experience amazing things. I swam 3 meters away from a huge whaleshark and saw kangaroos, emus, rock wallabies, and an amazing assortment of birds.
    Our main guide Geoff was energetic, personable, and full of interesting information. He also worked tirelessly to find us alternatives when high winds led to a cruise cancellation. Alyssa took over for Geoff on the final day. She’s amazing, very knowledgeable about birds and wildflowers and all things natural, and fun to be with.
    I chose vegetarian meals, and they were pretty good most of the time. There was always plenty to eat.

  4. Amazing trip!!! So many beautiful stops. Laura is the best guide ever. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time 💜
