Eclipse Expeditions - South West Safari Itinerary

Set foot onto your luxury sailing retreat at noon where you will be greeted by the expert crew, a relaxed ambience and a glass of bubbles. Once you’ve made yourself at home aboard Eclipse, enjoy a sun-soaked experience on deck as you sail west along the coast into a picturesque West Australian sunset, cocktail in hand. 

Dropping anchor at Eagle Bay, Bunker Bay or any of the idyllic anchorages along the scenic stretch of coast, you will be treated to a divine chef-prepared dinner before retreating to the plush comfort of your deluxe queen stateroom to rest up ahead of your first full day adventure.

Accommodation: Eclipse Expeditions - Leopard 50 Catamaran -  3 Nights

Take an invigorating early dive off the deck into unspoilt clear waters to kickstart your day before delicious breakfast. Spend the morning floating in azure waters, ambling along a coastal bushwalking trail or simply rediscover your sense of bliss by unwinding on the sun deck with a book in hand. 

Eclipse will harness perfect offshore sailing conditions and take a sail around Cape Naturaliste south along the coast to marvel at the raw beauty of immense cliff lines and dramatic changes in the coastal landscape. As the afternoon sea breeze emerges, return north along the coast around the Cape and settle into a snug anchorage in Meelup or Castle Rock. Enjoy a selection of local wine and sumptuous dinner onboard watching the light fade over the surrounding hills and the Indian ocean.

Take a brisk morning hike along the beach or the stunning Cape-to-Cape trail admiring unique land formations and wildlife along the way. Satisfy your post-hike appetite by tucking into a divine lunch onboard. 

Set off on the adventure tender ‘Bosun’ after lunch to enjoy a wildlife encounter as you sight see past, or snorkel with, Australian Sea Lions. Spend the sunset hours perched in a secluded pocket of the coastline enjoying a freshly shaken cocktail with panoramic views on the Sky Deck followed by a delicious dinner in the Alfresco Dining area.

Enjoy a unique dining experience as you tuck into a chef prepared breakfast on a secluded beach. Then, spend the final morning of your voyage revisiting your most treasured beach to explore hidden rock pools, stroll over crisp white sands or simply bask in the summer sun. 

As you take a final cruise north in the late morning, reminisce on the unforgettable moments that have surprised and delighted before disembarking just before noon.
