Excursion Cape le grand national park tour at Esperance

Western Australia is home to three majestic national parks, but just one is famed for its sunbathing kangaroos. It’s easy to see why they’re so attracted to Cape Le Grand – this unspoiled coastal reserve presents epic vistas at every turn, from granite outcroppings and rocky headlands to powder-white beach sand and crystalline turquoise surf.

Best of all, you can access this idyllic wild beauty easily on this half-day outing from Esperance pier. Setting out by comfortable coach, you’ll be at Lucky Bay beach within the first hour, with some free time to explore this strand universally known as Australia’s whitest beach. You may opt for a dip in the refreshing waters here, take a quick hike along one of the bushwalking tracks, or simply gaze out on the Recherche Archipelago just offshore, its islets seemingly afloat against an infinite azure horizon. Oh, and don’t forget to say G’Day to the lucky resident kangaroos often seen soaking up the same wondrous views.  

After further delightful Cape Le Grand touring and free time, you’ll arrive in what suddenly seems to be the wrong country. Esperance Stonehenge is an exacting replica of the UK’s iconic landmark ruins – 2,500 tons of solid pink granite arranged in a perfect monolithic circle and aligned to the winter and summer solstices. A short photo stop to admire this unique attraction (and perhaps sample its uncanny acoustics) makes for the perfect end to your immersion in the natural beauty of Australia.
