Day 2

After breakfast at Hearth, board your ferry to Rottnest Island. Rottnest is a protected nature reserve located just offshore from Perth, and known for its turquoise bays and as the home of the friendly Quokka. There are no cars on Rottnest, so bike hire is included today to ensure you can explore the pristine bays and bike paths around the island. There are several scenic restaurant options for lunch but we recommend purchasing something from the island bakery to enjoy as a picnic on the sand at one of the beautiful bays. Later pop in to Hotel Rottnest for a glass of wine overlooking Thomson Bay before boarding your ferry back to Perth. It is a two minute stroll from the jetty back to the Ritz-Carlton for another night overlooking the Swan River. We recommend visiting the Treasury Precinct tonight – a 5 minute walk up Barrack Street – for dinner at Petition, Long Chim or Wildflower.

Day 3

After another gourmet breakfast at Hearth complete with fresh green juices made to order, you’ll be transferred to Margaret River to start your Cape to Cape Walk. After a pre-walk briefing, enjoy a stunning 3 hour walk from Smiths Beach along the vibrant rocky coastline to Injidup Spa Retreat with lunch and a swim on the way. Welcome drinks are available in your villa with local cheese, and there’s time for a dip in your plunge pool as you settle in. Tonight relax with a three course in-room dinner supplied to enjoy with complimentary Margaret River wines in your mini bar.

Day 4

Breakfast in your villa will fuel you for a 14 km walk today from Cape Naturaliste Lighthouse along coastal limestone cliffs to scenic Yallingup beach. On the way you will pass stunning Sugarloaf Rock, an impressive granite rocky island outcrop jutting from the Indian Ocean, and have opportunities to spot dolphins and whales (in season). This afternoon relax in your villa or visit Bodhi J Spa @ Injidup for a massage. Tonight is a celebration of local food and wine as a private chef cooks a three course meal at Injidup and your Walk into Luxury host provides a variety of Margaret River wines for tasting.

Day 5

After breakfast you’ll travel to Redgate Beach for another great walk on the Cape to Cape Track. Heading south you’ll pass pristine white sand beaches and limestone caves before climbing to the clifftops above stunning Contos Beach. A pop-up lunch in the bush follows, before walking deep into Boranup forest where you’ll be dwarfed by the giant Karri Trees. Then it’s off to a boutique Margaret River winery for a private tasting, followed by a five course dinner at acclaimed Yarri restaurant.

Day 6

Today is your final day in Margaret River and it begins with a three hour walk from Moses Rock along the coastline to Willyabrup Sea Cliffs. The colours of the cliffs change with the light as you approach from below, and there is a panoramic 180 degree view of the Margaret River coastline from the top. By midday you’ll arrive at Wills Domain winery, where the acclaimed chef has taken out several Best Restaurant titles in recent years. Enjoy a four course lunch with wonderful wines before returning to Perth late this afternoon. You’ll stay tonight at boutique Alex Hotel where you can make yourself at home with a wine from the honour bar or dine at the trendy downstairs tapas wine bar, Shadow.

Day 7

There is time to enjoy the complimentary bikes this morning, perhaps cycling to the river or Kings Park, before your private transfer to Perth airport. After the two hour flight to Exmouth, you’ll be met by your Sal Salis host for the transfer to a wilderness camp like no other. Sal Salis is set right on the beach within Cape Range National Park and overlooking Ningaloo Reef. Twice-daily guided activities and complimentary snorkelling equipment and kayaks are included with your stay here, along with all food and wine. Help yourself to a drink as you settle in, and later meet fellow camp guests at this evening’s sunset canapes and sundowners gathering on the beach. A three course dinner follows with wines matches to each course.

Day 8

Today is a free day to snorkel off the beach, kayak to nearby secret snorkel spots, or join morning and afternoon excursions with your camp guides. A hike at Mandu Mandu gorge or a paddle up Yardi Creek is well worth the effort, and you’ll be sure to spot some native wallabies and wildlife whatever you decide to do. Your hammock is also an option for some relaxation before your big day out tomorrow. Dinner tonight and sunset drinks will round out the day.

Included: B - L - D

Day 9

This is it, the grand crescendo to your 10 day west coast adventure. You’ll be transferred after breakfast to Tantabiddi boat ramp to join your whale shark cruise. The onboard marine biologist will teach you about the giants of the sea as you cruise to outer reef. Then its into the water for your up-close encounter and swim with a whale shark or three. It’s an awe-inspiring moment you wont soon forget, and if you’re lucky you’ll have time for a few separate swims with your new friends before some snorkelling this afternoon. You’re also likely to encounter Mantarays, dugongs and turtles on this epic day out. Back at camp, share tales of your day over sunset drinks and dinner before falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean one last time.

Day 10

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast and water activities this morning, before your transfer to Exmouth airport.
