The Perfect Perth To Albany Road Trip: 5-Day And 14-Day Itineraries
Albany has the perfect blend of beautiful landscapes and incredible history. And this itinerary will have you enjoying all of it!
From the clear waters of Misery Beach and the awe-inspiring The Gap and Natural Bridge, to the rich history of the ANZAC history museum or the whaling station… and everything in between!
Thankfully, driving from Perth to Albany is pretty straightforward. There’s a direct route via Albany Highway, which is about 420 km (around 5 hours).
This is what we call the “express” route. We recommend allowing 5 days for this – 1 to get there, 3 full days for Albany, and 1 day to return.
But if you have 2 weeks available, we 100% recommend taking the long route and going through the iconic Margaret River region!
The latter is the very definition of a perfect road trip, as you’ll enjoy everything the southwest has to offer – pristine beaches, lush forests, ancient caves, world-class wine, delicious food, and much more.
Both itineraries – the 5-day express route and the 14-day perfect trip – are carefully detailed below. You can mix and match them to fit your own schedule.
They’re based on our experience exploring the area. We’ve been travelling Western Australia since 2020 and have lots of insider tips to share! All of them further down.
We’ll tell you where to stop to stretch your legs, the best places to stay each day, things to do, and recommendations to help you plan this trip while saving money!
Let’s get started.
We recognise the traditional owners of these lands, the Whadjuk, Menang, Wiilman, Koreng, Wardandi, Bibulman, Bindjareb, Minang, Ngadju, and Nyungar.

This small extension allows you to explore other gems of the southwest. We recommend leaving Albany after breakfast and driving to Margaret River. It’s a 4-hour drive and you can break the journey in Manjimup.
Try spending 1-2 days in Margaret River. Go on a wine tour there, enjoy the beaches, visit any of the caves, or hike around the forest!
Here’s a guide with 32 epic things to do in Margaret River if you want some ideas.
14-day road trip from Perth to Albany

Check out the famous Busselton Jetty – the snorkelling there is superb, as there’s a whole ecosystem under it! There’s an underwater observatory at the end if you don’t want to get in the water.
Swim at the foreshore.
Kayak at Abbey Beach.
Explore the town centre, the cultural precinct, and the museum.

Don’t miss the opportunity to check out Dunsborough, another coastal town a 20-minute drive west of Busselton. You can bike there from Busselton if you’re keen, the tracks are pretty flat and well-kept.
Dunsborough is a destination in itself. It’s the gateway to Cape Naturaliste, which has beautiful beaches (Meelup Beach and Eagle Bay Beach are our favourites), the historic Cape Naturaliste lighthouse, and epic hikes!
Then, return to Busselton at the end of the day to spend the night.
Day 3: Busselton to Margaret River (40 minutes)
Say goodbye to Busselton and drive the 40 minutes to Margaret River.
This gem of the south west is famous for its world-class wineries, so hit up a winery or two, do a tasting, and maybe even grab a bottle for later!
You can grab lunch at one of the wineries or head into town for lunch. There are plenty of cafés and restaurants, offering everything from gourmet meals to quick bites.
Then, spend the rest of the afternoon either exploring the local shops or hitting up a brewery for a different kind of tasting experience.
Head back to your accommodation and sleep tight, tomorrow will be jam-packed!
Note: If you want to do a Margaret River wine tour and want to save some bucks, know that some providers offer free pick-up and drop-off in Busselton.

Kick off the day with a visit to one of the nearby caves – Mammoth Cave or Lake Cave.
Mammoth Cave is famous for its megafauna fossils, while Lake Cave has spectacular sights with its permanent lake. You can’t go wrong with either one!
You can visit both of them as well, just keep in mind that there will be lots of stair-climbing. If you have to pick based on that alone, Lake Cave has the most stairs.
After the cave(s), check out Boranup Forest. The towering karri trees here are breathtaking, and the walking paths are perfect for a relaxed hike.
If you’re too tired from all the stairs at the cave, don’t worry – stay in the car and drive the scenic Boranup Drive, which winds through the forest.
It’s incredibly stunning and it’s free! No 4WD needed, plus there are a few picnic spots on the way to stop and have lunch.
Then, finish your day at Surfers Point for some epic ocean views and see the professional surfers in action!
These are not the only things to do in Margaret River, though. This place has 3-5 days’ worth of activities!
Here’s our guide: with 32 epic things to do there if you want more ideas.
Day 5: Margaret River to Augusta via Hamelin Bay (30 minutes)
It’s time to keep driving south, towards the iconic Hamelin Bay. This place is famous for its friendly stingrays! Consider spending the morning here, it’s stunning.
Now, the stingrays are used to humans, but they’re wild animals in the end. Here are some tips and cautions to keep in mind when interacting with them:
Then, continue your journey to Augusta. On the way, consider stopping at Jewel Cave, the largest show cave in Western Australia. It’s hard to describe how massive it is, plus it’s packed with spectacular rock formations!
After leaving the cave, you’ll be in Augusta in less than 10 minutes, probably at the perfect time for lunch! Head to Colour Patch Cafe & Bar or Blue Ocean Fish & Chips for a nice meal.
Augusta itself has a laid-back vibe, perfect for relaxing. Settle into your accommodation and maybe take a stroll along the river.
Finish your day by heading to the Cape Leeuwin lighthouse for an epic sunset!
Where to stay in Augusta?
Best caravan park: Turner Holiday Park sits right next to the river in Augusta with powered sites, cabins, and easy access to fishing or paddling. It’s just a short walk to town and a solid base for exploring the Leeuwin region.

Best luxury: Boogaloo Camp is a surf and yoga glamping camp with funky bell tents, hot showers, and a chill vibe perfect for unwinding after a day at the coast. It’s a short drive from the town centre and sleeps up to 4.
Day 6: Augusta to Denmark (3-3.5 hours)
The drive today is a bit long but absolutely worth it – head towards Denmark via Pemberton and Walpole.
Pemberton will be your first stop, a 1.5-hour drive from Augusta. If you follow this itinerary, you’ll stay here on day 11 to explore more of it.
This town is home to the Gloucester Tree and the Dave Evans Bicentennial Tree, two of the tallest karri trees in the area… and both are climbable! If you’re up for it, the view from the top is insane.
Next, drive another 1.5 hours to stop in Walpole!
After grabbing lunch there (the Philippine Magic Cafe is a solid option) check out the Giant Tingle Tree to fully stretch your legs and take in the beauty of the area.
If you can, definitely check out the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk – walking among the giant tingle trees is an experience you won’t forget.
From there, it’s a 45-minute drive to Denmark, where you’ll have dinner and spend the night. Sleep tight, tomorrow is going to be epic!
Where to stay in Denmark?
Best caravan park: Denmark Rivermouth Caravan Park is tucked right where the river meets the ocean, with cabins, powered sites, and easy access to swimming, kayaking, and fishing. It’s a short drive from the town centre and the cabins sleep up to 6.

Exploring Torndirrup National Park, where The Gap and Natural Bridge are. Famous beaches like Misery Beach, Cable Beach, and Salmon Holes, are there, too.
Visit the museums, Albany is a historic town with an interesting past.
Head to the nearby Porongurup National Park and go to Castle Rock for the best views of your life.

Here’s our complete guide guide with 20 things to do in Albany if you want more ideas!
Day 11: Albany to Pemberton (2.5-3 hours)
Now it’s time to start making your way back to Perth, but the fun is not over! Do the 2.5-3-hour drive to Pemberton.
This is another opportunity to do things you couldn’t do on day 6, specifically the Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk, the Giant Tingle Tree, the Gloucester Tree, or the Dave Evans Bicentennial.
When you get to Pemberton, you can go for a swim in the natural swimming pool, go mountain biking at the Pemberton Mountain Bike Park, or hop on the Pemberton Tramway for a tram ride around the forest.
There are other things to do in Pemberton if you’re into some forest fun!
Where to stay in Pemberton?
Best caravan park: RAC Karri Valley Resort is a peaceful spot on the edge of Lake Beedelup, with a mix of lakeside chalets and lodge rooms surrounded by towering karri forest. Great for fishing, canoeing, or just soaking in the quiet bush setting. It’s in Beedelup, a 20-minute drive from Pemberton and sleeps up to 8.
Best hotel: The Pemberton Hotel is a classic country pub stay with simple rooms, an on-site bistro, and an easy base for exploring the nearby forests and trails. It’s in the town centre and sleeps up to 4.
Best luxury: Forest Lodge Resort is a cosy, family-run spot on the edge of the forest, with comfy rooms and a peaceful lake outlook—ideal if you’re after a bit of quiet. It’s a 5-minute drive from town and sleeps up to 5.
Day 12: Pemberton to Yallingup (2 hours)
We recommend waking up early and driving straight to Yallingup, a gem of the south west with lots to do in the great outdoors!
However, if you didn’t stop in Hamelin Bay on day 5, this is your chance. It’s 100% worth the 20-minute detour.
Once in Yallingup, you can check out the ancient Ngilgi Cave, the stunning Canal Rocks, or hit Yallingup Beach for some surf or just to chill. If you love snorkelling, head straight to The Aquarium!
Here’s our ultimate guide to all the things to do in Yallingup if you’re looking for more ideas.
As for dinner, there aren’t many options in Yallingup, but Dunsborough is a 10-minute drive away and has a wide variety of restaurants and cafés to choose from.
Where to stay in Yallingup?
Best caravan park: Yallingup Beach Holiday Park is a laid-back spot with cabins and powered sites, perfect for surfers, families, or anyone keen to wake up to the sound of the ocean. It’s right across the beach and sleeps up to 6.
Best hotel: Caves House Hotel is a heritage-listed hotel with art deco charm, lush gardens, and a popular pub that’s great for a chilled evening after a day of exploring. It’s a 5-minute drive from town and sleeps up to 4.
Best luxury: Smiths Beach Resort is a modern, self-contained stay with spacious villas, ocean views, and direct beach access, great groups of all sizes (from couples to big families) wanting a bit more space and comfort. It’s a 10-minute drive from Yallingup town and sleeps up to 8.
Day 13: Yallingup to Bunbury/Mandurah (1-2 hours)
Try to wake up early and go straight to Injidup Natural Spa – you’ll likely have it for yourself! It’s a beautiful spot, perfect for a morning swim, but it can get crowded.
Then, hit the road to either Bunbury or Mandurah – pick the one you didn’t visit on day 1. You’ll spend the last night there!
Bunbury is a 1-hour drive from Yallingup and has the Dolphin Discovery Centre, where you can book dolphin tours and learn about these friendly creatures. It’s a fun way to spend the morning and learn about marine life.
Mandurah is a 2-hour drive from Yallingup and has the canals. You can rent a boat and go through them – there’s a chance that you’ll see dolphins, there, too!
We personally prefer Mandurah as there is more variety of things to do. It has the Giants of Mandurah too, for example.
But if you’re travelling with kids, Bunbury and the Dolphin Discovery Centre might be a better choice.
Both towns have great dining options, so you won’t go wrong either way. Wrap up the day with a relaxing stroll along the water, taking in the peaceful vibes before heading back to your accommodation.
If you’re staying in Bunbury, consider staying at the Caravan Park at Bunbury Foreshore or the Bunbury Hotel at Koombana bay.
And if you’re staying in Mandurah, consider the Mandurah Caravan Park or the Seashells Hotel.
Day 14: Bunbury/Mandurah to Perth (1-2 hours)
Wrap up your trip with the drive back to Perth. It’s a short trip, so no rush!
If you’re in Bunbury, maybe book a dolphin cruise at the discovery centre, or go for a walk along the coast. Enjoy the relaxed morning before hitting the road.
If you’re in Mandurah, consider going “giant-hopping” and exploring the town by going from one giant sculpture to another!
Regardless of your starting point, the drive back to Perth is easy and scenic!

Bremer Bay
Bremer Bay is a true gem, a 2-hour drive east of Albany.
It’s a must-visit if you’re visiting anywhere between January and April, as it’s orca season! We booked a tour and it was the best experience ever, we 100% recommend doing a tour if you can.
This town is also the gateway to Fitzgerald River National Park, which has stunning beaches and epic hikes – it’s mindblowing in wildflower season!
Keep reading: 19 epic things to do in Bremer Bay
Esperance
Esperance is the ultimate destination if you’re looking for the most unspoiled and pristine landscapes possible.
It’s quite remote, though – it’s a 5-hour drive from Albany and a 7-hour drive from Perth. It’s worth the drive if you can spend at least 3 full days (preferably 5-6).
There are lots of things to do in Esperance, but you’ll probably spend most of your time at Cape Le Grand National Park.
This park is home to famous beaches like Lucky Bay (where kangaroos chill in the sand) or Hellfire Bay, as well as the stunning Frenchman’s Peak.
You can also do the scenic Great Ocean Drive, a 40 km loop that offers stunning views and stops like Twilight Beach and the Pink Lake.
As it’s so remote, you might want to consider doing another road trip, but from Perth to Esperance – here’s the full itinerary, a map, and more!

Tips for planning your road trip
Here are some things to know to help you plan this epic road trip:
Renting a caravan – yes or no?
Albany and the overall Margaret River Region are ideal for camping. So if you’re into it, don’t think twice and rent a caravan!
There are dozens of camping grounds to choose from in the region. Some are for self-contained campers while others have facilities like showers, toilets, BBQs, etc – there’s something for every taste.
Plus, booking a campsite is much cheaper than traditional accommodations like hotels or Airbnb’s!
This makes them very cost-effective. You won’t have to pay for accommodation and car rental separately, you can cook all your meals there, and you have way more freedom to explore.
If you don’t know where to rent a caravan, here are some recommendations:
Travellers Autobarn is a low-cost option that doesn’t sacrifice quality. Check Autobarn rentals here.
JUCY campervans is the middle ground. Their caravans are often bigger than Autobarn’s while still keeping good prices. Check JUCY rentals here.
Star RV is for premium campervans. If you want to go on an adventure with luxury and not sacrifice comfort, this is it. Check Star RV rentals here.
Best time to visit Albany
The best time to visit Albany is during the spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May).
The weather is mild, and you’ll avoid the summer crowds. Springtime brings wildflowers in full bloom, making the landscapes even more stunning. Autumn offers pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists, perfect for exploring.
Plus, in both seasons the weather is ideal for outdoor activities like hiking, beach visits, and exploring national parks. The temperatures are comfortable, and the natural beauty of the area is at its peak.
Avoid the peak summer months if you prefer a quieter experience, as Albany can get quite busy.
How many days to stay in Albany
3 full days in Albany is perfect as you’ll be able to hit the main attractions. But you can easily stretch your visit for up to a week!
Buy a park pass
Some national parks in Western Australia have an entry fee ($17 per day per car at the moment of writing), which can quickly add up if you’re going to visit them multiple times.
The Holiday Pass offers great value for visitors staying up to 4 weeks and covers entry to all WA parks.
You can purchase it online or at the park entry. It saves money and hassle, giving you more time to enjoy the stunning scenery.
Roughly, if you’re going to enter 5 or more times to a park with an entry fee, it’s cheaper to purchase a Holiday Pass.
Parks on this road trip that have entry fees include:
Torndirrup National Park
Porongurup National Park
Two Peoples Bay Nature Reserve
D’Entrecasteaux National Park
Stirling Range National Park
Fitzgerald River National Park
Cape Le Grand National Park
Keep in mind that some parks are free. You can easily check if there’s a fee at the Explore Parks WA website.
Do you need a 4WD?
You don’t need a 4WD for most attractions in Albany (or for this road trip, for that matter) as the main roads are well-maintained.
However, if you want to drive on the beaches, a 4WD is essential. For standard trips, a regular vehicle will do just fine.
That said, a 4WD opens up more adventurous routes and off-the-beaten-path destinations.
If you’re into camping and remote beach access, having a 4WD can be a game-changer. It allows you to explore deeper into national parks and find those hidden gems away from the crowds.
But if you’re sticking to the main tourist spots and well-trodden paths, save the money and stick with a regular car.
Alternative ways to get to Albany from Perth
Albany has a small airport a 15-minute drive from town. Rex Airlines offers 2-4 daily flights from Perth, so you can be in Albany in 1 hour! Find great deals on plane tickets here.
There’s a city bus that can take you around the town centre (info and timetables here) but we honestly recommend hiring a car, otherwise, you won’t be able to go to Torndirrup National Park.
You can rent a car directly at the airport. Find great deals on car rentals here!
Top Tips
Kangaroos and other critters can jump out onto the road, especially at dawn and dusk. Drive carefully and stay alert.

Book tours here (most tours there have free cancellation and “reserve now & pay later” options!)
