Eight-hour day combining Cape Range National Park sights, snorkeling and a Yardie Creek cruise, with lunch, snacks and photos. Only 6 reviews so far.
Exmouth Adventure Co squeezes the west side of the Cape Range into a single day: a stop at Osprey Bay, a cruise up Yardie Creek, and a chain of lookouts and stops in between. The whole thing runs about eight hours, door to door, with hotel pickup included and an air-conditioned vehicle doing the connecting kilometres. Lunch and snacks are part of the package, along with snorkel gear, entrance fees and photos your guide takes along the way.
The stops follow a set order. Charles Knife Canyon comes first, then Osprey Bay for an hour, then the Milyering Discovery Centre, Yardie Creek itself for an hour and a half, and finally the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse stop on the way back toward Exmouth.
It suits travellers who want a sampler of gorges, reef and creek without hiring their own vehicle or planning their own days. The cap is eight travellers, so it never becomes a coach outing. Note that it is not wheelchair accessible, and the day needs decent weather, so poor conditions can shift the date.
A full day out with a lot of ground covered, so a little preparation goes a long way.
Common issues. A few practical limits are worth knowing before you book. The tour requires good weather, and it also needs a minimum number of travellers to run; if either forces a cancellation, you are offered a different date or a full refund. It is not wheelchair accessible, and you must bring your own drinking water and footwear. Cancelling inside 24 hours of the start time means no refund, and changes in that window are not accepted.
Yes, hotel pickup is included and arranged as detailed at booking. The day runs about eight hours in total, travelling in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Lunch and snacks, snorkel equipment, all listed entrance fees, transport, hotel pickup, complimentary guide photos, and flotation devices such as a pool noodle or a PFD if you request one at booking.
No. Admission for Charles Knife Canyon, Osprey Bay, the Milyering Discovery Centre, Yardie Creek and Vlamingh Head Lighthouse is included. What is not included are personal items like food beyond what is provided, drinking water, footwear and clothing, so budget nothing for entry but bring your own water bottle.
Enclosed footwear, shorts, a t-shirt and a warmer layer in cooler months, reef-safe sunscreen or zinc, a hat, sunglasses, a full water bottle, bathers and board shorts, beach sandals, a towel, any medication you may need, and a camera or phone if you want your own photos.
The listing states most travellers can participate and the group is capped at eight. However, it is not wheelchair accessible, so travellers with limited mobility should check with the operator before booking.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside 24 hours there is no refund and changes are not accepted. The tour needs good weather and a minimum number of travellers; if it is cancelled for either reason, you get a different date or a full refund.
