HITCH up the caravan or camper-trailer or rev up the motorhome and have a whale of a time of an escorted convoy along WA’s scenic south-west coast.
The Global Gypsies tour, during peak wildflower and wildlife viewing season from September 9-20, will be led by eco-guide Jeremy Perks and his partner Jan Barrie.
Beginning in Esperance and ending in Albany, the Whale Trail Motorhome & Caravan Safari will visit the beautiful bays and beaches along the southern and western coasts at a leisurely pace.
The WA coastline is famous for its whale-watching opportunities. In fact, Australian geographic lists Albany as one of the top 10 best observation spots in Australia.
It is hoped the tour will see southern rights, humpbacks and possibly blue whales from a number of marine and terrestrial vantage points.
Over 12 days, the convoy will visit destinations including Duke of Orleans Bay, Esperance, Cape le Grand, Lucky Bay, Bremer Bay, Point Anne, Hopetoun, Cheynes Beach and Albany.
Included in the package are welcome and farewell dinners, a whale-watching cruise, entry to the Albany Whaling Museum, national park entry fees, guided bushwalks, stargazing evenings and caravan park fees.
There are also optional 4WD outings and other fun activities.
The adventure is self-catering and is a joint venture with George Day Caravans. Motorhomes, caravans, camper-trailers and fifth-wheelers are welcome.
The cost is $1850 per van (two people) and numbers are strictly limited.
