Welcome to.. Our fav national park in Australia Welcome to.. 

Our fav national park in Australia 😍

📍Karijini National Park I Western Australia 
6,5 hours from Exmouth 

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE this for your next trip! 

Karijini is one of the most surreal and unique places we’ve ever seen! Located deep in the Outback, this remote national park is home to some of the best swimming spots in Australia! 

These are the trails you cannot miss: 
🐸 Hancock Gorge – For the adventurers (home to the famous Spider Walk, Kermit Pool and sections through the water).

🩵 Hamersley Gorge – For so many colors (and the iconic Spa Pool).

🧚🏻 Fern Pool – For peace and relaxation (the perfect place to unwind). 

💦 Fortescue Falls – Great for the whole family, easily accessible, and incredibly turquoise! 

⛰️ Mount Bruce – For summit lovers (offering the best 360° views over the Pilbara).

🥾 Knox Gorge – For explorers (deep, dramatic, and away from the crowds). Red rock walls paired with turquoise pools make this place unreal!

Tip: Visit around midday if you want to see the pool glowing bright blue when the sunlight reaches it. If you go early in the morning, you’ll likely have it all to yourselves!

Best time to visit:
September – fewer flies and perfect temperatures.
April (when we visited) – full pools and stronger waterfalls.

Still can’ believe how colorful Australia is! 🥹These places made us feel walking through a painting! 🌈

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE this for later!

You NEED to know these facts about them:

Little Lagoon | Shark Bay Region
Most people visit Monkey Mia, but don’t skip Denham! Many people only stop at Little Lagoon, but make sure to also visit the viewpoint where the lagoon meets the ocean! We had the whole place completely to ourselves and the colors are compeltly insane! 

Knox Gorge | Karijini National Park
Glowing red rock walls and turquoise pools - Visit around late morning or early afternoon when the sun reaches the gorge and makes the colours pop even more! 

Simpson Beach | Broome
This place looks like a postcard! Broomes places are all about tides: Visit during high tide to see the trees standing in the turquoise water - it’s absolutely magical! 🧡

Fern Pool | Karijini National Park
The reflections in the early morning are spectacular. Arrive early and stay for a few hours - as the sun rises higher, the water transforms into an incredible shade of turquoise 🩵

Hamersley Gorge | Karijini National Park
Most people head straight to the famous Spa Pool, but our tip is to explore the other pools around midday. Their colours are truly out of this world! 🪐

📍Hamersley Gorge | Spa Pool 
Western Australia

It was a rough ride (55 km of dirt road), but places like this always make the journey worth it!

Even though the road is officially recommended for 4WD vehicles, we found it manageable in a 2WD as long as you drive slowly, carefully, and adjust to the road conditions.

This is one of the most unreal places we’ve ever seen.

Would you dare to drive this dirt road? 🚐🤔

Who else learned the hard way that one towel is never enough? 😂 

Honestly, the views at Francois Peron National Park made every bumped head worth it. 

Tip: Don’t let the lack of a 4WD stop you from exploring! Rent a kayak in Monkey Mia instead and paddle to the national park 🛶

We saw 3 whale sharks in just 1 day 🐋🥹 This incredible experience deserves a spot on every Australia itinerary!

📩 Who would you love to experience this once-in-a-lifetime adventure with? 

Swimming with whale sharks at Ningaloo Reef is a top-tier bucket list experience, but choosing a sustainable operator is key. Finding an ethical tour company was our top priority.

The tour we booked follows strict animal protection guidelines and limits the number of people in the water. But for me, the best part was the support. As someone who was terrified of snorkeling and struggles with sea sickness, the crew stayed by my side every step of the way.

Even though the tour was a little more expensive, we would choose them again without hesitation because protecting these gentle giants is so important.

Why we’d book them again:

🛡️ Ethical first: Strict guidelines to protect the whale sharks. Maximum of 20 guests on board and only 10 people in the water at a time.

🤝 Unbeatable support: As a first-time snorkeler with ocean anxiety, the crew literally stayed in the water with me. They even helped me manage my sea sickness.

🐋 Amazing encounters: We saw 3 whale sharks in April - one rare small and two giants!

📅 Season: March–August
📍 Tour: Ningaloo Discovery - Katamaran
