Festive dinner

When we returned from our honeymoon Mart's mum had prepared us a beautiful dinner; such a sweet and thoughtful surprise! We couldn't have ended our amazing week in a better way.

On a sand dune

Stroll on the beach

 
On our way back down to Fremantle we stopped in Lancelin for a cup of coffee and a stroll on the beach... such a pretty place!

Geraldton harbour

Shark Bay scenic quad bike tour

After exploring Shark Bay from the sea we decided we ought to see it from the hills and cliffs too. So we set off on a quad bike tour of the whole area with a guide. It really didn't disappoint; the views were amazing, and it proved to be really good fun too!
And... we finally saw some sharks! :-) They were reef sharks which meant they weren't dangerous at all so we even got to go in the water with them.  

Sunset cruise

An afternoon on the Shotover

Not only did we get to spend a relaxing afternoon on the water, we also marveled at wild dolphins, sharks, sea snakes and turtles. Such a special and beautiful cruise!

Monkey Mia's dolphins and pelikans

Every morning at Monkey Mia a few female dolphins are fed one or two fish, to the great delight of dozens of excited spectators. We were super lucky to see two little babies who were less than a month old. They were so cute, buzzing around their mums!

Eagle Bluff

The four kilometers of dirt road to access Eagle Bluff are well worth it; the view from there is really spectacular! We were there when the sun was starting to set and the shiny sea meant we didn't get to see any aquatic wildlife (there are apparently often sharks swimming around at the bottom of the cliff) but we saw a family of emus on the way and very much enjoyed the dramatic views of the sun slowly setting into the ocean.
