On a budget? There is plenty to see and do while in Australia's Coral Coast that won't even cost you a cent!
Visit the dolphins at Monkey Mia
In Monkey Mia, 850 kilometres north of Perth, a small pod of dolphins regularly swim into the calm, aquamarine shallows to say G'day and snare a feed of fish. Mid-morning is the best time to meet these endearingly mischievous mammals, but you'll see them in the bay throughout the day.
Snorkel Ningaloo Reef
Don a snorkel and explore the emerald lagoons of the World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef, where you can swim alongside ancient turtles and colourful tropical fish by the thousands just metres from the shore.
Enjoy panoramic ocean views from this touching memorial of national significance, featuring four symbolic elements, one of them the 'Dome of Souls' made up of 645 stainless steel seagulls, representing the lives lost when this ship sunk with a full crew aboard in November 1941.
See a Pink Lake
Head to Port Gregory and marvel at Hutt Lagoon, a magnificent natural wonder where the still water is tinged a vibrant pink thanks to the presence of beta-carotene.
Nature's Window
Take a peek through Nature's Window, a natural arch in a towering rock in stunning Kalbarri National Park. The million-dollar view is considered one of the best in the 183,000-hectare park and is a popular spot for photographers.
Step back in time at this charming fishing village, which is home to 17 beautiful historic buildings. Be sure to take a stroll down the main street, which is lined with some of the finest Moreton Bay fig trees in Australia.
Pack a hamper and soak up the absolute ocean front views at the Jurien Bay Marina as you feast on a fresh bounty of local seafood.
Explore the Wine Tasting Trail in the Chapman Valley
Chapman Valley is renowned for its pristine coastline and the spectacular Moresby Ranges, but it's becoming famous for its wine. Find out why on a wine tasting trail, where you can sample the area's crisp, fruity whites and rich, full-bodied reds.
Sample Fresh Produce in Carnarvon
Around 30 stalls offer fresher-than-fresh produce at the Gascoyne Grower's Market. Sample exotic tropical fruits, crisp vegetables, homemade ice cream and the region's specialty - firm, ripe bananas - every Saturday until noon.
This thrilling sight is a must-see. Around 70 kilometres north of Carnarvon you'll find the extraordinary blowholes, where powerful water jets up to 20 metres high, are forced through coastal sea caves.
