Overview

Ten days is a long stretch of road, and this WaBusTours trip uses every one of them, running from Perth up the coast to Exmouth and back with a maximum of 11 travellers on board. It starts at The Shiralee Backpackers on Brisbane Street at 08:30, where you can stash bags you don't want to take and grab an early breakfast before setting off. From there the route threads through Yanchep National Park, the Pinnacles, Geraldton, Kalbarri and the Pink Lake before the long push into Shark Bay country.

The middle of the trip settles into Monkey Mia and its surroundings: two nights at the RAC Resort with the pools and the dolphins, a stop at the Stromatolites of Shark Bay, and a stay at Wooramel River Retreat. Then comes Coral Bay for a free day of your own, followed by Exmouth with camping inside the national park. The return south repeats Wooramel and finishes with a short stop at Moore River before arriving back at the meeting point.

Most meals are built in: eight breakfasts, nine lunches and eight dinners, with a free day in Coral Bay where food and accommodation are not included. Nights are spent camping, mostly on paid sites with showers and toilets, some with pools. This suits travellers with moderate fitness who are happy to camp for over a week.

Common issues. The listing sets a clear cancellation scale: a full refund only if you cancel at least 6 full days before start, 50 percent between 2 and 6 days, and nothing inside 2 days. The trip also needs a minimum number of travellers and good weather, and if either forces a cancellation you are offered a different date, a different experience or a full refund. Accessibility is limited, with camping every night, no wheelchair access, and moderate fitness required. The free day in Coral Bay adds food and accommodation costs that are not covered.
