You might see platypus, Tasmanian devils, wallabies, quolls, and more. 

Days 7-9: Margaret River

Fly to Perth and drive to Margaret River, world renowned wine region. The area is also known for its beaches, and there is much to see and do here.

Days 10-12: Ningaloo Reef

Fly to Exmouth from Perth and transfer to Ningaloo Reef for three days of relaxing and exploring from your sumptuous beachside safari camp. If you’re here between April and July, you’ll be able to swim with the whale sharks, filter-feeding behemoths that migrate through during those months.
