Itinerary Details

Costsaver: Untamed Kimberley & West Coast

Day 1 - Welcome to Darwin
Welcome to Darwin, where the air is warm, the sunsets are fiery and the vibe is as laid-back as it gets. Set out on a city sights tour and get a feel for this tropical capital, from its distinctive architecture to the stories that shaped it, including the 1942 bombing and Cyclone Tracy in 1974. You’ll take in key sights like the Botanic Gardens and the sweeping coastal views from East Point Reserve. Tonight, round things off with dinner at a waterfront restaurant, the perfect way to ease into Top End life.
Meals: Dinner

Day 2 - Darwin - Katherine
Today you head south with history and nature sharing the spotlight. Stop by the Adelaide River War Cemetery, a moving place that brings the region’s WWII story into focus. Then it’s onto Nitmiluk National Park on Jawoyn land for a real showstopper. Cruise through Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience that supports the Traditional Owners and their living culture. The sandstone cliffs shift colour as the light changes and every bend feels like a new reveal. Later, enjoy the Katherine Outback Experience, packed with songs, stories and plenty of laughs.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 3 - Katherine - Kununurra
Cross the border from the Northern Territory into Western Australia and arrive in Kununurra, a town that feels wonderfully remote. Step back in time at the Durack Homestead Museum, relocated piece by piece before the original site was flooded as part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme. That project transformed the region, creating farmland and the vast expanse of Lake Argyle. Later, get out on the water for a cruise, keeping an eye out for freshwater crocs and birdlife. Kununurra might look quiet at first glance, but it’s your gateway to some of WA’s most postcard-ready scenery.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 4 - Kununurra
Today is all about smart choices. If you want the Kimberley’s headline act, you can opt for a scenic flight over World Heritage-listed Purnululu National Park and the beehive-shaped Bungle Bungles. Prefer to stay grounded? Choose a Choice Experience 4WD tour instead. Or keep it local with your Travel Director on a walk through Mirima National Park, often called the ‘mini Bungles’. You’ll hear how these rugged landscapes were formed while soaking up the views close to town. Whatever you pick, you’ll get a big hit of Kimberley scenery with zero fuss.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 5 - Kununurra - Emma Gorge
Kick off the day with a behind-the-scenes visit at Hoochery Distillery, a long-time local favourite. Learn how their award-winning rums and whiskies are made, with time for a tasting if you fancy it, plus morning tea to keep you going. Then it’s time for a taste of the legendary Gibb River Road as you travel to El Questro Wilderness Park, framed by the rusty red Cockburn Range. Tonight’s stay is a treat, with safari-style tents tucked among pandanus palms. Expect frogs, cicadas and a sky absolutely packed with stars.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 6 - El Questro Wilderness Park
Wake up to the sounds of the bush and the light streaming into your tent. This morning, you’ll travel to Wyndham, the most northerly township in Western Australia. It’s small, rugged and full of character. Explore the town and take in the surrounding landforms and wetlands, where the wide-open scenery makes you feel a million miles from anywhere. It’s the kind of place that reminds you how vast the Kimberley really is. Then return to El Questro with time to relax and enjoy your unique wilderness setting, with another night under those seriously dazzling skies.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 7 - Emma Gorge - Fitzroy Crossing

Accommodations: Fitzroy River Lodge
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 8 - Fitzroy Crossing - Broome
The reason Broome was born is because of pearls. Today, it’s just as well known for its sizzling Indian Ocean sunsets, best enjoyed from the Cable Beach sand. This stretch of sand is long. So long that it can accommodate 4WDs, camels and foot-traffic. Perch here, or head to a waterside cafe. Order a drink, and settle in.
Accommodations: Cable Beach Blub Resort & Spa
Meals: Breakfast

Day 9 - Broome Free Time
Now that you have your bearings thanks to your Broome tour, today is yours to explore. Take your time to discover the charms of the town, and embark on a leisurely stroll along the magnificent Cable Beach, stretching over 22 kilometres. If you're feeling more adventurous, you can choose to embark on Choice Experiences that will take you to breathtaking destinations.
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 10 - Broome Free Time
The eye-opening colours of the Pilbara are your backdrop today - rich red earth streaked with mineral deposits. Settle in Port Hedland, home to the world's largest bulk export port.
Accommodations: Hospitality Port Hedland
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 11 - Port Hedland - Karijini National Park - Tom Price
A frontier like no other, Karijini National Park is a place where gorges seem to cleave off the edge of the Earth, waterfalls tumble from escarpments and remote turquoise rock pools shimmer like precious gems. Your Karijini tour weaves deep into the national park. It took billions of years to create the geological wonders you see: the red layered cliffs, the quiet gorges, the soaring gum trees, and distinctive termite mounds.
Accommodations: Tom Price Motel
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 12 - Tom Price - Karratha
After Karijini’s rugged heartland, you’ll journey back towards the coast, travelling through tough Pilbara terrain where mining and nature sit side by side. Your destination is Karratha, known for its major role in the resources industry and its gateway position to the stunning north-west coastline. Along the way, you’ll stop to visit the Red Dog statue, a true Aussie legend with a wandering heart. Hear the story of this canine larrikin and why he became famous across the region. Tonight, enjoy a more coastal feel and a chance to reset before you head for the Ningaloo Coast next.
Accommodations: Ibis Styles Karratha
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 13 - Karratha - Exmouth
There are a few (hundred) kilometres of Pilbara region to cover between Karratha and Exmouth on the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Coast. On your hypnotic journey, just imagine all the magical marine creatures you might glimpse when you dive into Ningaloo Reef – Exmouth is the gateway. Your accommodation is only metres from the waterline, so you can be assured of a mesmerizing view on the North West Cape.
Accommodations: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 14 - Exmouth Free Time
Depending on the time of year, Ningaloo Reef is home to both whale sharks and humpback whales. Book Choice Experiences to snorkel with both (ethically). Or if prefer to stay dry, there are still ways to take in the coastline on a sunset cruise and you may well see a humpback breaching and blowing, dolphins in your wake.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 15 - Exmouth - Carnarvon
Don’t want to get your hair wet? You’re in luck. Today’s cruise in a glass-bottomed boat allows you to glimpse Ningaloo Reef and the extraordinary marine life in style. From this thriving underwater ecosystem to overhead attractions, your next stop is the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum. Did you know this unassuming destination played a role in the 1969 moon landing?
Accommodations: Hospitality Carnarvon
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 16 - Carnarvon - Monkey Mia
Prepare yourself for the ‘living fossils’ at Hamelin Pool, home to the most abundant colony of stromatolites in the world. You’re officially in the state’s World Heritage listed Shark Bay, the largest of its kind in Australia with more than 1,000 kilometres of beaches. Not all of them sandy – welcome to Shell Beach. And just when you thought the outlook couldn’t get any better, you arrive at Monkey Mia.
Accommodations: Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort
Meals: Breakfast

Day 17 - Monkey Mia Free Time
If you didn’t fall in love with the gin-clear waters, powdery sand and rusty-red dunes of Monkey Mia last night, you certainly will today. Meet the wild resident dolphins that turn up to the shore every morning to interact with humans. They arrive in a pod, and splash about in the shallows, before dancing off. The rest of the day is free for you to explore or relax.
Meals: Breakfast

Day 18 - Monkey Mia - Geraldton
Kalbarri National Park is known for its gorges, towering coastal cliffs, and rare wildlife that you can witness from the Kalbarri Skywalk. And then there are the wildflowers, which bloom and blanket much of the countryside in spring. In Geraldton, pay homage to the 645 Australian sailors who were lost off the WA coast during WWII at the HMAS Sydney Memorial.
Accommodations: Ocean Centre Hotel Geraldton
Meals: Breakfast

Day 19 - Geraldton - Perth
Nambung National Park’s Pinnacles are a staggering collection of natural limestone structures. It’s a spiritual place, as is Yanchep National Park, where, on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience your Aboriginal guide decodes native plants and tells Dreamtime stories of how the land was created. This evening, join your Travel Director and companions for a celebratory dinner.
Accommodations: Crowne Plaza Perth
Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

Day 20 - Farewell from Perth
It’s hard to believe this epic adventure has come to an end. Three weeks of incredible memories to take home with you.

Darwin

Darwin

Soak up Darwin's balmy weather and the melting pot of food and cultures in the city's many outdoor festivals and markets. Then explore the region's dramatic history - from World War II air raids to Cyclone Tracey - in the museums and galleries. Sail Darwin harbour at sunset, cruise next to crocodiles and bushwalk through monsoon forest. Swim in the crystal-clear waterholes of Litchfield National Park and visit the colourful communities of the Tiwi Islands. This vibrant, tropical capital has a youthful energy you'll find hard to resist.

Five ways to discover Darwin and its surrounds:

1. At festivals, markets and on the harbour In Darwin, the action happens outside - in markets, parks, by the beach or on boats. You can join the locals with a crate and a plate of sizzling satay at The Mindil Beach Sunset Markets from May to October. Or watch them build boats out of beer or soft drink cans at the annual Darwin Beer Can Regatta in July. At the Deckchair Cinema from April to November you can watch movies under a canopy of stars with a drink from the bar and a picnic dinner. Soak up Darwin's tropical weather with a harbourside dinner at Cullen Bay Marina or a sunset harbour cruise complete with a history lesson.

2. With wildlife and in tropical parklands

Cycle past orchids and bromeliads and traditional Aboriginal plants in George Brown Botanic Gardens. Swim, have a sunset barbecue and explore sacred Aboriginal sites at Casuarina Coastal Reserve. In Berry Springs Nature Park, you can spot birds in monsoon forest and fish in the crystal clear swimming holes. Get up close to fish, birds-of-prey, nocturnal animals and reptiles in the Territory Wildlife Park, a 45-minute drive from Darwin. Have a close crocodile encounter at Crocodylus Park, the Darwin Crocodile Farm or on a crocodile cruise along Darwin's coastal fringe and rivers.

3. Hot on the heels of history

Learn more about Darwin's rich Aboriginal heritage in the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory. Here you can also relive the tragic Cyclone Tracy which hit Darwin on Christmas Eve in 1974. See the Chinese Temple it nearly destroyed in Litchfield Street. Darwin endured 64 Japanese air raids in World War II, and you can watch dramatic footage of the bombings and visit the bunker where Top End defense strategy was planned at East Point Military Museum. See original B52 bomber planes at the Aviation Heritage Centre and a network of walking trails leading to World War II oil tunnels around the Wharf Precinct. In Myilly Point Historical Precinct you can see some of the few surviving cottages designed by architect B.C.G Burnett in the colonial style popular before World War II.

4. Under the waterfalls of Litchfield National Park

Make time for a day trip to the waterfalls and plunge pools, wildlife and birdlife, ranges and rainforest of Litchfield National Park, a one-and-a-half hour drive from Darwin. Swim in the crystal-clear swimming hole at the base of Florence Falls and bush-walk through monsoon rain-forest to Walker Creek. Picnic next to roosting fruit bats at Wangi Falls and see sweeping valley views at Tolmer Falls. Take a wildlife cruise on the Reynolds River, part of a working cattle station. Explore this Tarzan landscape with traditional Aboriginal owners the Wagait people or peer into a pastoral past in the ruins of Blyth Homestead.

5. On a trip to the Tiwi Islands

Join in the excitement of the Tiwi Islands Grand Football Final, held every March in Nguiu. Browse and buy Tiwi art, distinctive for its strong design, decorative features and vivid colours. Take billy tea and damper tea with Tiwi ladies as they demonstrate traditional weaving and painting. Then watch them perform a traditional dance and a smoking ceremony to clear bad spirits. Catch big barramundi on a fishing tour on the Tiwi coast. You'll find a warm welcome and a lush landscape of rainforest, beaches and rock pools on Melville and Bathurst Islands, together known as the Tiwi Islands. Explore them on a day or overnight tour, traveling a 20-minute flight or two-hour ferry from Darwin.
