Kalbarri: Things to do in Kalbarri | Australia's Coral Coast

The Kalbarri region is a favourite family holiday destination also known for its adventure experiences on the water and land-based attractions.

Situated where the Murchison River meets the Indian Ocean, the town of Kalbarri has soaring river and coastal gorges and protected swimming bays like the Blue Holes, superb walking trails, and over 1000 species of wildflowers.

South of Kalbarri, the seaside towns of Port Gregory and Horrocks offer laid-back beach getaways with great swimming, fishing, surfing and windsurfing. Head inland to Northampton to experience indigenous art, see heritage buildings and learn about the area’s fascinating history.

Kalbarri is approximately 590 kilometres north of Perth (6-7 hours drive) or a 50 minute flight with Qantas to Geraldton airport, and a 90 minute drive to Kalbarri.
