Ultimate 8 Day Western Australia

Day one of your Western Australia road trip starts at the maui Perth branch where you’ll be welcomed by our friendly team as you pick up your pre-booked campervan hire. Our helpful staff will quickly get you set up and ready for the road with everything you need to know about your campervan.

Today’s drive is a relaxing three-hour road trip as you head to Margaret River – known for its wineries, craft breweries, and beautiful beaches and forests.

On your way, plan a stop in the coastal township of Bunbury. This cosmopolitan city is home to the largest collection of street and public art in regional Australia. So be sure to take time to check out some of the amazing installations, sculptures, and mosaics on display.

Once in Margaret River, you’ll want to make the most of its vibrant wine scene by booking into a local winery tour. It’s a great opportunity to sit back, relax and let someone else do the driving for a bit while you experience the unforgettable food and wine this region is known for.

Enjoy an overnight stay at Margaret River Tourist Park.

Today, your travels will take you to the heart of the Rainbow Coast and the beautiful town of Denmark.

Almost halfway along your journey, you’ll pass through the town of Manjimup where you can stop and explore the Manjimup Heritage Park. Spend a few hours looking through the museum exhibitions and wander through the tranquil native bush and parklands.

Keen for a cool afternoon dip? Get your swimming gear ready as you arrive in Denmark and head to the Greens Pool on the edge of William Bay National Park. Famous for its stunning granite boulders and captivating turquoise waters, this top spot is a must-see (and do!) while you’re here. Make the most of the experience by snorkelling the waters and getting up close with zebra fish, six-spined leatherjackets, mosaic sea stars and more.

After a great day of exploring, put your feet up at the Denmark Rivermouth Caravan Park.

Today, you’ve reached the halfway point of your Western Australia road trip as you head off on the two-hour drive to the coastal hamlet of Bremer Bay. Packed with stunning beaches, this beautiful bay is home to some of the world’s most ecologically significant flora. It’s also a great place to spot whales, and the best way to do so is on a Bremer Canyon killer whale expedition.

To see more of Bremer Bay’s rugged landscapes, unique plant life, and raw beauty, set your GPS to Fitzgerald River National Park. This botanical wonderland – one of Australia’s largest parks – is overflowing with a diversity of native and rare plant species.

Settle in for the night and enjoy a good sleep at the Bremer Bay Caravan Park.

Tucked into the shores of Mary Ann Harbour, the beach resort town of Hopetoun is the perfect stopover on a Western Australia road trip from Albany to Esperance. Hopetoun is known for its beautiful white sandy beaches and water-based activities including surfing, boating, and fishing.

It’s also a great place to stretch your legs and check out some of the local heritage. The Ravensthorpe Railway Heritage Walk is a rugged rail trail with a variety of walking options ranging from 5-16 km.

For the best views in the area, plan a visit to East Mount Barren. The walk to the summit takes a bit of effort but is well worth it. On a clear day, you’ll enjoy views out to Barrens Range.

Make the most of this beachside location with an overnight stay at Hopetoun Beachside Caravan Park.

The whitest sands, the most turquoise of waters… Esperance is a true-blue Aussie gem. High on the list as one of the best things to do in Western Australia is a picnic at Cape Le Grand National Park. Imagine a postcard of pristine white sands and romantic blue waters… this is it!

See Stonehenge right here in Western Australia! Built using 137 Esperance pink granite stones, Esperance Stonehenge is a full-size replica of the UK original, and just as magical.

Get up close with some of the region’s fascinating wildlife at the Esperance Bird and Animal Park. Here, you’ll find over 200 birds and animals that you can learn about, feed, and photograph. There’s a café on site too if you fancy a good coffee.

Tonight, stay at the conveniently located Esperance Bay Holiday Park – just a few minutes walk from the town centre.

Wake up bright and early on day seven – it’s a big one! Today you’ll be driving almost six hours to Hyden – home to the famous Wave Rock. This granite cliff is 15 metres high and 110 metres long. Its wave-like rounded shape has been caused by water erosion and weathering over a period of around 2,700 million years.

From Wave Rock, you can also take a walk along the Hippo’s Yawn trail – a nice and easy 1.03 km trail that loops back to the car park.

Around 18 km north of Wave Rock is Mulka’s Cave where you can see ancient Aboriginal cave paintings.

Make the most of all the great attractions in Hyden with a stay at Wave Rock Caravan Park.

It’s the very last day of your ultimate eight-day Western Australia road trip! Today, you’ll be heading from Hyden back to Perth. Be sure to plan time to enjoy some of the great attractions of Western Australia’s capital city.

We suggest taking a Pinnacles Desert Sunset Stargazing Tour where you can enjoy a traditional Australian barbecue dinner while you wait for the stars and planets to reveal themselves.

Finish off your roadie with a sandboarding experience before dropping your campervan back at maui’s Perth branch.
