Abrolhos Islands

The Abrolhos Islands and their surrounding coral reef communities form one of Western Australia's unique marine areas.

The Islands lie about 60 kilometres west of Geraldton, on the Western Australian coast, and consist of 122 islands clustered into three main groups: the Wallabi Group, Easter Group and Pelsaert Group, which extend from north to south across 100 kilometres of ocean.

Often described as the Galapagos Islands of the Indian Ocean, there are few places in Australia with more biodiversity. Nature enthusiasts flock to the Abrolhos Islands for the kite surfing, windsurfing, surfing, fishing, bird watching, snorkelling and diving opportunities. The Islands are classed as National Park, and have been recognised as an Ocean Hope Spot by ocean conservation organisation Mission Blue.

The amazing Abrolhos Islands can be explored via a scenic flight or seasonal live-aboard boat charter. Take a scenic flight to see the Abrolhos from above – this way you can admire the coral reefs and island formations, which are painted in an incredible palette of greens and blues. On clear days, scenic flights often spot migrating whales in the turquoise ocean below. Scenic flights are available from Geraldton and Kalbarri. Alternatively, opt for a live-aboard experience on a luxury charter. Try your hand at fishing, swimming, snorkeling, bird watching, island exploring, and spotting sea lions, dolphins, wallabies and lizards.
