Why you need to jump on a same-day flight to Geraldton

Thanks to the early Nexus departure, you can land in Geraldton and jump on a scenic flight with Shine Aviation or Kalbarri Scenic Flights within the hour! Joining a scenic tour is the perfect option, with tours ranging from 1 hour to a full day, you can see it all from the best seat in the house…. from up above! Fly over Pink Lake (Hutt Lagoon), the Abrolhos Islands and see the Batavia shipwreck, while admiring the beautiful coastline that hugs the city of Geraldton. If you have more time, we highly recommend a scenic flight tour that lands on the Abrolhos Islands where you can snorkel the colourful coral gardens that teem with marine life, stroll the white sandy beaches and enjoy activities your tour guide has planned.

Dine in diversity - from freshly caught seafood to and Middle Eastern flavours, with a twist to rooftop and gin bars and the best locally made coffee and baked goods in town, Geraldton's food and beverage scene is constantly evolving and a top reason to visit. Your visit isn’t complete until you’ve tried fresh, locally caught Western Rock Lobster (crayfish), and it doesn’t get much fresher than in Geraldton’s Fishermen’s Wharf. Join a local operator on a pot-pulling tour, buy seafood directly off the back of fishing boats from Brolos Fresh, or enjoy lunch waterfront dining at Skeetas Restaurant. Make sure you drop into the new gin distillery at 30 Knots to sample their unique, handcrafted small-batch spirits. Explore our Geraldton Food and Beverage trail map here.

Geraldton is bursting at the seams with culture so make sure you make time for a visit to Yamaji Art Centre which gives you an insight into the heritage and cultural stories of the local Yamatji people. If you’ve hired a car then we highly recommend following the Yamatji art trail, a 195km drive that takes you to 14 significant Aboriginal sites of the Greenough and Mullewa areas. If you plan on wandering the streets of Geraldton, pop into Geraldton Visitor Centre to pick up a Public Art Trail Map and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the fascinating and colourful street art that lines the main streets. A visit to the Horizon Ball on the Beresford Foreshore is also worth a visit to snap some photographs.
