Geraldton Airport | Abrolhos Island Discovery Full Day Tour | Snorkel & Nature Walk

Begin the morning by flying over the City of Geraldton and out to the Abrolhos Islands. 

The Abrolhos Islands are a chain of 122 islands and associated coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, approximately 65 kilometres off the west coast of Australia.  It is the southernmost true coral reef in the Indian Ocean, one of the highest latitude reef systems in the world and one of the most important seabird breeding sites. 

Composed of three groups of 40 islands each, the Abrolhos boasts an incredible range of marine life and spectacular coral gardens that are excellent for diving and snorkelling, while sea lions, dolphins and migratory whales are often spotted in the area.

We fly out to the Pelsaert group first before heading north to the Wallabi Group. Here we land on East Wallabi Island, known for its beautiful coral and turquoise bays. From here, enjoy a short walk to Turtle Bay, where the morning is spent swimming and snorkelling in the protected waters of the coral reef. 

Enjoy Lunch with tea and coffee (included). Afterwards, discover the abundant birdlife, neighbouring islands, and limestone cave formations on a nature walk. 

Return to Geraldton, flying over the breathtaking Abrolhos Islands coral atolls and the site of the historical Batavia shipwreck.

Optional add-on: 30 minutes at Hutt Lagoon's Pink Lake

On the return to Geraldton, fly over the breathtaking Abrolhos Islands coral atolls and the site of the historical Batavia shipwreck and the unique Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake near Port Gregory.

The lake contains a pink hue created by the presence of carotenoid-producing algae Dunaliella salina, a source of ß-carotene, a food-colouring agent and a source of vitamin A.

The Pink Lake is approximately 70 square kilometres, with most of it lying a few metres below sea level and fed by marine waters through springs.

After circling the lake, we head back along the coast to the Geraldton airport.
