Kalbarri Palm Resort
- Attractions
 Nestled
where the Murchison River flows into the Indian Ocean, two
hours drive north of Geraldton, the town of Kalbarri is one
of Western Australia’s most popular holiday destinations.
Nature provides visitors to Kalbarri with once-in-a-lifetime
experiences in a climate that is warm and sunny for most of
the year.
Kalbarri is surrounded by 186,000 hectares of some of the
State's richest wildflower bushland, with Kalbarri National
Park boasting 800 species of wildflowers. It is not unusual
to find a bloom of some description on any day of the year,
even if wildflower season is still months away. From July to
October, the flowers' vibrant colours are at their best with
new species of blooms appearing each week.
When you reach the coast, the activities and sights are
endless. Take advantage of the calm waters of the estuary
for a swim or pack your fishing gear and hire a boat.
For the true nature lover, visit the
Rainbow Jungle or the
Oceanarium for a mind-blowing
experience. When you’re staying in Kalbarri, don’t forget
the daily feeding of the pelicans on the foreshore.
Spot dolphins or whales so
close that your friends back home won't
believe you.
Dabble in a spot of beach fishing, go surfing at Jake’s
Point, go hiking, play tennis, golf, or experience the
unique wonders of nature as you canoe round a river-bend or
hire a boat for a fishing trip.
Ride a
pushbike along miles of spectacular coastal scenery,
stopping at secluded bays for a refreshing swim.
The town of Kalbarri has good shopping and efficient touring
services both offshore and on land. Canoe treks, whale
watching, fishing charters, boat cruises, boat hire and
sightseeing flights over the National Park, coastline and
Abrolhos Islands offer fun for the whole family.
Paddleboats, dinghies, and windsurfers can also be hired on
the river foreshore.
If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, coach tours
of the river gorges, coastal gorges and wildflowers are a
visual experience your eyes will never forget. If you are a
little more adventurous there’s abseiling, horse riding, sandboarding and camel treks to get the adrenalin pumping. |
