- A moderate amount of walking is involved, you will need to bring a 1.5L water bottle to complete the walks and stay hydrated
- Operates in all weather conditions, please dress appropriately as temperatures in Western Australia can be extreme.

Please ensure you have checked the average temperatures for the times of your visit and have packed adequate clothing.
- Children aged 6 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult or legal guardian at all times. The tour is not suitable for infants or children aged 5 and under due to safety requirements and the physical demands of the walks.

Super week on the west coast!
I’ve sat down many times to write this review, but each time I find myself distracted by all the amazing memories from this 7-day experience. Before I know it, time has escaped me, and I’m reliving all the incredible memories I have instead of putting them into words! I cannot recommend this tour enough to anyone looking to explore the West Coast of Australia! Over 7 days, we travelled comfortably from Perth to Exmouth and back, stopping at some absolutely incredible sights along the way. In just one week, I explored the Pinnacles, abseiled in Kalbarri National Park, watched dolphins feeding up close, swam with manta rays, whale sharks and reef sharks, enjoyed breathtaking sunsets and beautiful beaches, and made so many amazing memories with my fellow travellers. It was an unforgettable week filled with adventure, laughter and experiences I’ll remember for the rest of my life! What truly made this experience so special, however, was our incredible tour guide, Geoff. He is one of the most organised, knowledgeable, kind and accommodating people I’ve ever met. He went above and beyond to ensure we got the absolute most out of every single day. He was always punctual, made sure everyone’s needs were taken into consideration, and communicated all instructions, information and plans clearly. At the same time, he was so friendly, approachable and genuinely passionate about making the trip special for everyone. The long drives flew by thanks to his fantastic music choices, inspiring stories and willingness to answer any questions we had along the way. His knowledge, enthusiasm and attention to detail really made a difference to the entire experience, and it was clear how much care he put into making sure we all had the best possible time. If you’re considering this tour and have the opportunity to request a tour guide, request Geoff! He was a huge part of what made this trip so memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone travelling solo or in small groups up Australia’s west coast!

Do it !
All in all an amazing trip ! Our guide Adam was a good driver and gave us lots of information during the drive and at each location. As a solo female traveller I felt really good during that trip up the west coast. Can really recommand Autopia and Adam ! I also recommand booking the optional Manta Ray Tour. Food was always nice, easy to prep and healthy. They had good vegetarian options for me as well (you have to let them know before hand). Our hostels were fine.

An epic trip up the coast!
Had such an incredible trip with the best group of people! Thank you Geoff for being the best tour guide we could have wished for, he really went above and beyond! Highlights were the manta ray and whale shark trips - definitely worth adding them on

Another Amazing Autopia Experience
I recently completed my fifth (and longest) tour with Autopia, and it was absolutely remarkable. I joined the seven‑day Perth to Exmouth trip and came back with nothing but great memories. Our guide, Geoff, was fantastic: incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and clearly passionate about what he does. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had the best experience possible. Truly an exceptional adventure that I’d recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable trip.

10/10 Perth to Exmouth & back 7 day tour
Wow, where do I even start, this trip was incredible! The itinerary is jam-packed with stops to break up the long drives & allows you to explore all of the main highlights of the West Coast. Stand-out places for me were Nature’s Window in Kalbarri, Monkey Mia & the Ningaloo Whaleshark swim (additional cost but so worth it). I was really unsure at first as to what to expect from this group tour but it was excellent value for money & I had a fantastic time making memories. We were also extremely lucky with nature providing us with amazing wild animals & stunning sunsets. However, none of this would have been possible without our exceptional guide Geoff. I’ve been on hundreds of tours across the world & Geoff really stands out as one of the best. He was very knowledgable, organised, funny, thoughtful, inspirational, a safe driver, a great head chef & fabulous bus DJ. I could go on. He really went out of his way, above & beyond! He provided reassurance when some members were nervous for certain activities & set a lovely atmosphere for a group of strangers to connect & become close friends. Honestly, if you’re thinking of booking please do it but make sure to ask for Geoff as your guide, you won’t regret it! The only comment I have for improvement would be for better clarity on the website. It’s not really stressed that if you don’t book an additional trip on either day 4 or 5 then there really isn’t much else to do & you won’t get to fully experience what there is on offer. We did a Whaleshark tour (not the Megafauna one) at the end of September but the FAQs are misleading suggesting it isn’t an option / out of season.

7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Perth.
How much does 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth cost?
+
Prices start at $1,426 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Perth usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Perth is not rushed.
Is 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 341 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Perth, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth?
+
Around 119 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Perth can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Perth and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 7-Day Exmouth Explorer via Pinnacles Monkey Mia Ningaloo Reef returning to Perth start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Perth within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Perth?
+
On Outty we rank every Perth experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Optus Stadium Tour, Discover Perth Walking Tour: History, Art, Local Insights + More!, Pinnacles Desert Sunset Dinner and Stargazing Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Perth?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Perth?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
