The great Western Australian road trip
There’s a reason the road trip from Perth to Exmouth is on so many travellers’ bucket lists.
Think towering limestone formations, enormous sand dunes, rugged national parks, dolphins in turquoise water, incredible sunsets and the spectacular Ningaloo Reef. Add a chance to snorkel with marine life, explore remote beaches and experience some of Australia's most remarkable landscapes, and you've got the ingredients for an unforgettable adventure.
But before you hit the road, there's one big question to answer.

Should you drive yourself, or join a guided Perth to Exmouth tour?
​
Both options have their advantages. Hiring a car and heading north independently can be a fantastic experience if you love planning your own itinerary. But if you'd rather spend less time worrying about logistics and more time enjoying Western Australia, a guided tour could be exactly what you're looking for.
Here's what to consider before deciding how to make the journey.

If you’ve ever travelled with Red Earth Safaris, there’s a good chance you’ve met Darren.
You’ll probably know him as the guy behind the wheel, the bloke pointing out wildlife at the side of the road, the person who somehow knows exactly where to stop for the best view — and, quite possibly, the man responsible for your second helping at dinner.
Officially, he’s our owner, guide, driver, cook, storyteller, wildlife spotter and all-round fixer.
Unofficially? He’s just Darren.
​And he bloody loves showing people around Western Australia.
What makes Darren different?
Ask our travellers and they'll probably mention three things:
He knows his stuff.
He doesn't take himself too seriously.
And he genuinely cares about people having a great trip.

Imagine slipping into crystal-clear turquoise water when suddenly a gentle giant, the size of a bus, glides effortlessly beneath you. Your heart races—not from fear, but pure excitement. Welcome to Ningaloo Reef, where swimming with whale sharks is one of the most incredible wildlife experiences on Earth.
If you're travelling Australia's Coral Coast, this is the bucket-list adventure you simply can't miss.
