Plan Book Travel Australia

Oceanic adventure

• With hundreds of kilometres of fresh coastline and some of the best surf breaks in Australia, the appeal for windsurfers and board-riders is obvious. On a good day, it doesn’t get much better than this.
• Relax on creamy sand beaches, which dissolve into the cool clear Southern Ocean. Here’s the place to snorkel among sea-dragons, explore a famous dive wreck and make friends with the local sea lions.

Esperance and Woody Island

• The cobalt blue water laps the shoreline around the vibrant coastal township of Esperance, famous for its warm welcome and simple country style.
• Around Esperance, rugged national parks morph into expansive farming country offering friendly farmstay accommodation. Don’t miss Pink Lake during summer for stunning photos.
• Esperance Bay is dotted with some amazing little islands – most accessible by boat and some offering eco-based interactions.
• Woody Island has cosy cabins and quality eco-tourism experiences – untouched nature at its best. The fishing is sensational too.
