Coral Coast Holidays


australia
The Coral Coast is home to a dazzling array of natural treasures and makes for an incredible drive! Explore the eerie Pinnacles Desert and the dramatic sandstone arches of Kalbarri National Park.

Friendly wild dolphins are most certainly the stars of the show in Monkey Mia and further up the coast is one of the country's best kept secrets: the pristine Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. A paradise for snorkellers and beach lovers alike, these calm protected waters are home to over 500 species of fish and are one of the best places on the planet to swim with the huge but harmless whale shark.
