First stop is the Krait WWII Memorial where you can delve into WWII history and learn about the secretive Operations Potshot, Jaywick and Rimau, in which Exmouth played a crucial role.
Charles Knife Canyon - Next stop at Charles Knife gorge provides some impressive views as you ascend to 311m elevation for spectacular views of Exmouth Gulf and the canyons of Charles Knife
Jurabi Turtle Centre - Then head north, passing back through Exmouth town on our way to the Jurabi Turtle Centre, where you will learn all things turtles. Learn about the three species of turtles that mate, nest and hatch along the Ningaloo Coast, their life cycle, habitat, and the important work that is happening to conserve these species.
Vlamingh Head Lighthouse - The final destination is the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse for panoramic views of the reef, the range and the Exmouth Gulf.
