About This Tour
Take in Western Australia’s coastline of beaches, towns, bushland and cliffs before heading out over the Indian Ocean to land on East Wallaby Island. Explore at your leisure, swim in Turtle Bay or bring a snorkel – colourful corals and marine life, including fish, crayfish and seals, are just metres from shore.
Relax in the tranquility or enjoy a picnic on the beach. Scuba diving and fishing can be arranged on request, and you can add a scenic flight over the Pink Lake at Hutt Lagoon on the way.
Discover The Houtman Abrolhos Islands
About 60 km off Geraldton, the Houtman Abrolhos are a chain of 122 islands in three groups – the Wallabi, Easter and Pelsaert groups. The name is said to come from the Portuguese for ‘keep your eyes open’, a warning about the treacherous reefs.
Those reefs claimed the Dutch ship Batavia in 1629, leading to one of history’s most infamous mutinies. Today the islands are celebrated for something gentler: thanks to the warm Leeuwin Current, they host the southernmost coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, where tropical and temperate marine life meet. They’re also home to sea lions, rare tammar wallabies and huge seabird colonies.
