• Tour Duration: 6.5 hours (Approx.)
• Departure Time: 8:00 am in Winter / 7:00 am in Summer
• Location: Kalbarri, Western Australia.

Combining our incredibly popular Abrolhos Discovery with our chocolate box of the region Grand Tour, the Ultimate Discovery gives you the adventure of discovering the Abrolhos Islands by landing at East Wallabi Island and the highlights of the Midwest region of Australia's Coral Coast by air!

Starting with an early morning scenic flight past the coastal cliffs, out across the ocean, allows us to take in the full scope of the Abrolhos before landing on East Wallabi Island. After a short stroll to the pure white sand and shallow light blue water of Turtle Beach, we set up camp, and you can go out and snorkel the reef.

Snorkelling allows you to see a vast array of colourful fish at first hand and view coral of incomparable beauty and diversity. For avid swimmers, why not take advantage of the opportunity to bathe in the clear, calm water, with the beautiful islands as a backdrop?

If you're not a keen swimmer or snorkeller, or perhaps only go for spa temperature water, hang out with our pilot while they brew some freshly ground plunger coffee and enjoy watching the wildlife of the Abrolhos. When our swimmers come back, our food will be ready for people to recharge their energy. After getting your fill of meats, cheeses, dips, fruit and some sweet treats, our pilot will tell you the story of the Batavia Mutiny. Hear about the sordid story on an island surrounded by the key islands of the story.

From there, your pilot will guide you on a nature trail. East Wallabi provides the invigorating opportunity to walk across the Island and explore the rich diversity of varying vegetation and see friendly wallabies firsthand. A highlight is to visit the Ospreys' nest on the Abrolhos each year, and they can often be seen flying low over the islands.

At the most Eastern point of the island, we look across towards the mainland and explore an area of limestone where a massive build-up of shells has been created by circling gulls. The Abrolhos is a haven of wildlife with everything that unspoiled Nature has to offer.

We leave Turtle Beach for the short walk back to the aircraft, and after overflying the Abrolhos Island and pointing out the scarred reef where the Batavia wreck came to rest, we head back to the mainland, looking for whales in season.

When we reach the mainland, we will be welcomed by the sights of Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake. A flight over the Pink Lake shows the different hues of pink and sometimes orange. When exiting the Pink lake we fly inland to the Kalbarri River Gorges. The river has cut through the sandstone, allowing you to view steep rock faces with stunning white, red and purple rock layers as you pass close by. Many of these amazing wonders of Nature are inaccessible and unviewable, except by air.

Our day ends landing back at the Kalbarri airport, where you land with plenty of time to have an afternoon nap before your evening activities.
