Western Australia wildlife & safari holidays
In the far north, you will find ancient boab trees in the Kimberley region and one of Australia’s greatest natural wonders, the Bungle Bungles large beehive-shaped rock formations. Ningaloo Reef is the second largest coral reef in Australia and offers the unique opportunity to swim the biggest fish in the sea – the whale shark.
The Ningaloo coast is also a great spot to see Humpback whales, large schools of manta rays, emus, galahs, ibis, herons, ospreys, euros and Black-footed Rock-wallabies. Shark Bay is not only famous for its friendly wild bottlenose dolphins at Monkey Mia, but also turtles, manta rays, dugongs and school sharks.
On Rottnest Island, a daytrip from the capital city of Perth lives the small marsupial, the Quokka. The Quokka is found nowhere else in Australia or in the world, apart from on this island, and they will let you walk right up to them!
The southern corner of the state is known as the garden of Western Australia and is a perfect birdwatching destination to see honeyeaters, the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, whistlers, stints and nearly 30 types of parrots.
Southern right whales can be seen from the Albany coast in the winter months and Western Grey Kangaroos, echidnas, euros, bilbies, potoroos, bandicoots, Woylies (Brush-tailed Bettong), Boodies (Burrowing Bettong) and the numbat, which is only found in Western Australia, can be seen in the national parks close to the city.
