5.00Amazing guide Doug was funny, caring, knowledgeable and went the extra mile.. The awesome highlights such as Natures Arch, Pink Lake, Shell Beach, Monkey Mia dolphins was well worth the long drive.
Great experience in every way
port traveller,,Nov 1, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It’s hard to choose the best from the very many wonderful places and experiences that the itinerary lists. All memorable! Our group of 15 in a 20 seater bus made it comfortable. There was enough flexibility and independent free time to sight-see, relax, book an optional experience, and do some short private or small groups hikes. This seemed to keep our roughly even split of millennials and boomers happy, engaged, and connected or quietly disconnected (as preferred). Like other reviewers here, I must compliment our driver/guide Doug for his energy, flexibility and good humour and for his insights on the ancient, indigenous and recent history of the sites we visited.
Sunsets, stories, sky and sea.

5.00I was expecting this tour to provide a weath of dramatic scenery but was unprepared for how many awe-inspiring moments there were. To eyeballing an Emu over the breakfast table, crystal clear blue aqua and pink waters, breathtaking sunsets, country towns and truck stops it showcased this area of WA perfectly. And the man who was our intrepid leader-Doug- was awesome. His humour, sense of fun and knowledge and obvious passion for this trip knew no bounds. Thanks Doug.
Brilliant trip with Autopia Tours!

5.00This 4 day trip has been the highlight of our trip to Australia! The trip included visiting the Pink Lake, the Lobster Shack, Hamlin Pool, Shell Beach, Kalbarri, Natures Window and Sky Walk, Monkey Mia, Geraldton and the Pinnacles! Monkey Mia was such an amazing experience! Watching the dolphins swim close by was just beautiful! We saw some turtles and of course lots of Emus and Doug took us to an area so we could see sharks swimming below. The Pinnacles were so cool and made me feel so emotional for some reason! Loved it there! Our guide, Doug was so amazing! He was very funny right from the start and he was so knowledgeable and really knew what he was talking about! Doug really made this trip special and his enthusiasm and friendly nature helped the 9 of us to bond really well! Doug went above and beyond and shared so much information ! Chris and I are so pleased that we went on this trip! There is lots of driving, but we could relax and look out at the changing scenery, which was cool. If you get the chance to book this trip, then go for it. Thanks Doug. Chris and Lorraine 😀
Very nice ride. But policy of the price of couple rooms to review
chantalruche,,Nov 13, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
3.00Very good tour.But policy of room prices for couple to review. To make sure you sleep with your spouse, Autopia charges you an extra fee. Otherwise, you are told that you may be put with another traveler of the same sex. If you take the same tour resold via Getyourguide, you are not asked for any extra cost. It's an attic, and it's a nigget catcher. A tip from Autopia to make you pay more, for a case that should not arise. Too bad.
A Trip Full of Awe and Wonder!

5.00This was an outstanding four day adventure which included so many amazing sights and activities! The Pink Lake, Shell Beach and Kalbarri were awesome! The cherry on the cake though was of course the amazing dolphin experience at Monkey Mia! Just stunning! We were also so lucky with our guide, Erin, who was enthusiastic, friendly and supremely knowledgeable, and our small group of five were in very safe hands with her as our leader! The accommodation was clean and comfortable and although the drives were long, there were plenty of breaks along the way! This trip is a MUST for anyone visiting Western Australia as it provides a fantastic snapshot of what this vast and beautiful country has to offer!
