North West Trip
Lasting 10 days and spanning more than 4,000 kilometres, the North West Trip gives you the chance to hike the mountains and gorges of Karijini National Park, snorkel in Coral Bay with humpback whales, tiger sharks, and sting rays, feed dolphins and sail catamarans in Monkey Mia, and sleep under the beautiful starry night skies of the outback. This is the ultimate Aussie bucket list trip.

I had a fantastic semester abroad! Besides viewing my studies form a different angle, I met some amazing people and could explore and experience WA.
