Over 8 days, we’ll take you from the edge of the Gibson Desert, through waterholes and rivers and find our way to some of the most spectacular coastline you’ll find anywhere.
The Pilbara is the heart of the North West, and is just as diverse as it is unique, extending all the way from the Great Sandy Desert to Eighty Mile Beach. Over the course of a 4WD tour, the variety of scenery and landscapes will take your breath away. Far from just being the powerhouse of Australia’s economy, the Pilbara might actually be the most diverse region in Western Australia. We certainly think it’s the most underrated. Once we’ve done our job as tour guide, we think you’ll agree.

There is no more immersive way to travel through the spectacular landscapes this country has to offer, than to drive through it yourself. With the help of expert guides, you'll have a safety-net, while being able to take charge of your own trip.
The Pilbara 8 day tour starts at Kumarina Roadhouse, approximately 200km south of Newman. It finishes in Marble Bar, which provides guests with the option to drive to Port Hedland or back towards Newman via Nullagine. From Port Hedland the Great Northern Highway as well as the North West Coastal Highway are both accessible, so you can visit coastal destinations -such as Karratha, Exmouth, Carnarvon, Shark Bay etc – or inland destinations such as Karijini, Tom Price, Newman or the Gascoyne Region.
Fuel is not included in the price. With so much variance between models of car and age/condition, fuel consumption can vary significantly between tour participants, and we feel it would be unfair to factor this into the price where someone with a fuel efficient car would have to pay the same amount.
Refuelling locations are very remote and consequently the price of fuel can be very expensive (upwards of $3/L).
