FAQ
What’s the best time of year to visit the Coral Coast in WA?
April to October is the best time, dry, warm and perfect for outdoor activities. Summer can be very hot and cyclones in the far north.

No — flotation devices are available, and the glass bottom boat lets you see the reef without getting in the water. Snorkelling is optional and guided for safety.

Most walks are short and easy, with a couple of optional 2-3km walks in national parks. Good walking shoes and a light daypack are recommended.
Are meals included in the tour?
Breakfast is included on 6 mornings. Other meals are at your own expense so you can try local eateries along the way.

Yes. You can book a shared room or upgrade to a private room. Many people travel solo and love the small group atmosphere.
