are you looking for adventure when you travel then western australia is the place for you
in this video we'll give you eight must do's from perth to margaret river
just 45 minutes south of perth is penguin island this nature reserve is home to western australia's
largest colony of little penguins there's also tons of other wildlife including dolphins sea
lions stingrays pelicans and much much more to get to the island you take a five minute ferry ride
or you can walk across the one kilometer tidal sandbar if you're feeling adventurous but there's
like super scary sign yeah that says you may encounter a shark or riptides or other currents
and you may drown and die so it kind of like has put us off i guess we'd do it if we didn't
have the kids but i'm not bringing maelle on that looks like fun though it's about a kilometer
though hey once on the island you can see the rescue penguins inside the showroom afterwards you
can explore the island in search of wild penguins there are also many other birds on the island to
see plus there is a great spot just to hang out on the beach and swim in the water so bring your
bathing suit there are many other activities to do in this area including swimming with dolphins sea
kayaking and kite boarding have you ever been in a cave before caving in australia is a must do there
are several caves to choose from in the margaret river area each cave offers a different experience
Ngilgi the cave offers fun for the whole family with slides and crawling through tunnels for kids
of all ages plus you get the gaze and wonder at the calcite crystals decorations and touch and
learn about them which is not allowed in the other caves jewel cave is the biggest show cave with
three massive chambers which contain many delicate helicites cave coral pendulites large stalagmites
and beautiful examples of flowstone what did you find kryptonite kryptonite stop superman
you can also see the fossilized remains of extinct tasmanian tigers 62 meters deep beneath the earth
is lake cave yeah there's supposed to be a lake in here so maybe we'll go for a dip did
we bring our swimsuits yeah who needs swimsuits just go naked all right i like your attitude
to get access to this chamber you have to climb down into a sunken forest surrounded by towering
karri trees what awaits you is a tranquil lake with crystal formations that grow from the ceiling
hovering just above the water make sure you don't mind getting a little wet as this one
is the most active dripping cave these caves were all formed approximately one million years
ago when you're on a beach and look out into the ocean do you think to yourself it would be
awesome if a whale swam by well at hamelin bay you don't get whales but stingrays swim up to
the beach and let you touch them how cool is that did he touch you they're really silky and soft
they come up to you like you're like you're their friend like a dog
measuring up to two meters across these friendly stingrays will make your day
you can also get in the water and snorkel with these amazing animals there's no guarantee the
stingrays will be there when you go so plan on the possibility of going a couple of times
next is an electric atv tour in the margaret river area we're going quad in today at ecoadventures in
margaret river in australia and we've never quaded before so this is interesting these
bikes are retrofitted electric bikes too so it's kind of cool less harmful to the
environment and no emissions these bikes are smooth quiet and totally emission free
the one and a half hour tour educates you on the history of the region
and all the while you get to see spectacular scenery and have fun driving a quad
there are a few places in the world where the dolphins come up to the beach to see you
the dolphin discovery center in bunbury is one of these places
you get to wait until the oceans and the dolphins will swim by and look at you so
we've been out here for about an hour and they've just been hanging out with us i think sometimes
they only visit 10 minutes so we've got an hour experience it's a really amazing experience the
dolphins do come daily to this site so it's really great this is pretty amazing they're
like jumping fishing in front of us here like guy's got an octopus in his mouth showing off
you can also book a tour where you get to go out into the harbor and swim with the wild dolphins
as well take a refreshing dip in the injidup natural spa it's a five minute hike from
the car park and then you can just relax and enjoy lazing in the sun or explore the rocks
which surround and protect the inlet from crazy waves beautiful rock formations behind me and the
waves come over top and crash through the rocks and then you sit at the bottom of the springs
just a short drive from the town of yallingup you'll find this breathtaking natural spa
next is the wildlife park in bunbury this park gives you a personal interaction with
many different species of animals you can feed most of the animals in the park which
can make for such a fun experience this is my buddy that one's pooping
the park consists of native and exotic birds marsupials reptiles amphibians and mammals
this is a great time for the whole family a great place to stay is busselton this quaint
seaside town has a famous jetty with a train on it which you can take to the end to see an underwater
observatory it's a great staging place to do all the previous activities we talked about in this video
there's lots of shops pubs restaurants and nearby wineries you can chill at after your
many day trips what flavor is it pistachio that's it and cookies is it good is it the world's best
