A private 4WD guide whisks you through the rugged red gorges of Cape Range National Park to legendary Turquoise Bay — consistently ranked among Australia's most beautiful beaches. Snorkel the drift, walk the gorges, see rock wallabies.
What to expect
Wind through the pale limestone ranges of Cape Range in an air-conditioned 4WD, stopping at Charles Knife Gorge for panoramic views over Exmouth Gulf. At Turquoise Bay your guide marks the drift-snorkel entry point and accompanies you as you're carried over iridescent coral by a gentle current. A packed gourmet lunch is enjoyed in the shade of the dunes. The return drive passes Yardie Creek gorge, where you scan for rare black-footed rock wallabies on the ochre cliffs.
Good to know
Cape Range is 50 km from the marina — plan for a full morning and early-afternoon return. National park entry fees (AUD 17 per person) apply and are typically included by operators. Confirm vehicle pick-up at the cruise tender dock. Low-tide timing at Turquoise Bay is critical — your guide will plan accordingly.
