The main tour route follows the Turquoise Coast, hugging the Indian Ocean Drive from Perth to the Pinnacles and beyond to the township of Cervantes. Driving from Perth's CBD to Cervantes along the Indian Ocean Drive takes at least 2.5 hours to include all major points of interest. We recommend allowing extra time if you want to try our recommended pit stops just off the beaten track or lingering longer.
The tour's first point of interest is Alkimos Beach, named after the Alkimos shipwreck. It's a great place to grab a coffee before you hit the Indian Ocean Drive.

About Perth
Perth is the capital of Western Australia, a sunny Indian Ocean city on the Swan River with a large hilltop park, white beaches and the port of Fremantle.
Perth sits where the Swan River widens into a broad estuary on the Indian Ocean coast, and it is often described as one of the most remote large cities in the world, with Adelaide more than two thousand kilometres to the east. Kings Park, a large reserve of bushland and botanic garden on a hill, looks over the skyline and the water, and the Elizabeth Quay waterfront anchors the centre.
Top-ranked sights in Perth: Margaret River, Swan River, Rottnest Island.
