Begin the morning by flying out of the City of Geraldton, then across to the Abrolhos Islands
The Abrolhos Islands is 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 over fly the Pelsaert Group before heading to the Wallabi Group and landing 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 plunger coffee (included). Afterwards, discover the abundant birdlife, neighbouring islands, and limestone cave formations on a nature walk.
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 presence of carotenoid-producing algae Dunaliella salina, a source of ß-carotene, a food-colouring agent and 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 coastal to the Geraldton airport.
