- Western Australia - The perfect road trip for nature and wildlife lovers: We’re Doris & Matthias from Bugs & Bears, and we just travelled from Perth to Exmouth, Broome and all the way up to Darwin looking for wildlife and adventure. After a stunning road trip we’ve selected our personal 5 Best National Parks of Western Australia. This short travel guide should help you plan your trip through these beautiful landscapes.
Which National Parks should I visit? What are the highlights of Western Australia? Where can I go diving in WA? Where can I find Koalas on the west coast? Where can I get close encounters with dolphins in Australia? Where is the best spot to find fresh water crocodiles? Is Karijini worth it? Where are the best off road tracks?
The guide in this first episode of Wild Travel Tuesday covers it all. Here are our favourite picks:
5️⃣ Yanchep National Park right up North from Perth
4️⃣ Tunnel Creek & Windjana National Park in the Kimberley Region
3️⃣ Cape Range National Park & Ningaloo Reef on the Ningaloo Coast
2️⃣ Karijini National Park in the Pilbara Region
1️⃣ Francois Peron National Park & Monkey Mia in Shark Bay
*️⃣ Kalbarri National Park on the Coral Coast
*️⃣ Nambung National Park with its Pinnacles
We hope you enjoyed the first episode of Wild Travel Tuesday, our new weekly series on wildlife experiences, adventure gear and travel life. We'd love to hear your feedback in the comments section.
Stay curious!

Wow! Really great video guys! A great variety of terrain and wildlife! Looks like an absolutely fantastic road trip!
Thanks, guys! Yep, it's full of variety and surprises. So much nature and wildlife to explore. Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
It was awesome.

Cheers
ich bin ein ausgewanderter deutscher, kam mit 32 Jahren nach Australien, das ist nun 42 Jahre her, also nun 74, ich habe mein Leben gelebt, bin viel gereist und das kann mir keiner nehmen, sehe dich und deine travels, remain me of my time, good luck on your way's, I know I still have a strong accent
Great video content! Thanks Matthias documenting and sharing your WA adventures.
Beautiful footage and editing, Matthias. I'm from Perth! So it's great to see northwest WA from your perspective.
Thanks, Lin! Glad to get feedback from a local then! Western Australia was just an incredible adventure! So much wildlife!
Thank you so much! I am doing the road trip now, this is so useful. Beautiful video thank you!
Great video, wonderful video, thank you!
Very nice collection but I'm missing the Purnululu ntp. with the amazing and famous Bungle bungles, definitely a top 5 ntp of WA 😉. I visited WA a lot of times but the bungle bungles, eg the Echidna chasm, Piccaninny gorge, stunning.
Cheers
Spectacular video! Looking forward to watch the next destination episode! 😁 So proud of tou two! 👏👏👏
Cristian J Thanks Cristian for your support 🙌! Stay tuned for next Tuesday 😎!
I want to go there now ! Thanks for sharing
Western Australia is just a beautiful . and so remote. I loved it . I was nearly on the some tour. My highlight was Karijini just cool. Had great memories during your video. I stoked to see the video about swimming with humpbacks . enjoy it :)
Glad to hear you also had a similar route through Western Australia. Yes, Karijini was also a big highlight for us - so many unreal waterfalls and gorges, crazy!
I didn't realize there weren't any koalas on the west coast! Good to know that you can still see them, they're super cute. Thanks for sharing so many great spots in Western Australia!
Study Hard Travel Smart Thanks for watching and your lovely feedback! Western Australia is such a scenic paradise! Have you been to Australia or are you planning to go?
Yeah Im Australian and didnt realise that was the case
Have a lot of respect for this fella. Living the dream.
Great list of national parks! So cool all the wildlife you got to see. Beautiful footage! That looked like quite and amazing adventure. I hope we get over there someday!
Thanks for your feedback! That's very sweet! If you're going there, let us definitely know, we're happy to help out! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Deserves more views than it currently has. Great video!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy Western Australia!
Great list! I'm thinking of going to Stirling Ranges National Park on my next trip to Western Australia
Another amazing vid. You two are amazing. Makes me wish I went to west oz when I was there.
This country is so huge, can’t see all at once! We didn’t see much of the East on the other hand! Thanks for watching! 🐻
Great selection, karijini is so incredible i love this place !
Thanks, Nicolas! Karijini seems to be everyone's favourite! The gorges and waterfalls are really breath-taking!
I hope to visit Australia next year and visit all these awesome parks! Especially want to see those koalas. This video is so well done! Can't wait to watch more. Subscribed!
If you want to see Koalas, you're probably better off on the east coast, there are more places where you get to see them, but the west coast offers generally more other wildlife viewing opportunities. A paradise for every adventurer! Let us definitely know if you need any advice - just send us a message on Insta (@bugsandbears). Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Brautiful guys ! Well done ! Great editing and amazing aventure ! Cool tent also ! 👌
Thanks, guys! Appreciate that a lot! We miss our tent, but now it would be way too cold (here in Canada). Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Fantastic footage love these types of videos. I feel like all we hear about is eastern Australia and forget about Western Australia. What kind of camera do you edit with?
Yes, that's what we thought. Western Australia wasn't on our radar until we found out about the unique wildlife viewing opportunities and gorgeous landscapes. We're shooting mostly with our Sony A7 RIII and sometimes GoPro Hero 6 / Mavic Air. What are you using, also a Sony?
Awesome video!!
Thanks, Lena!
this is a very good vlog. i love the editing of the video and lots of useful information
Hey Kim! Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed watching! We also have a couple of videos about the Philippines (Malapascua, Bohol, Coron, Moalboal, ...). Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Great video, really informative
Glad you enjoyed it!
All the best from Austria,
Doris & Matthias
Amazing footage again, you're so great at shooting wildlife. What lenses do you use? I saw Dingos on Fraser Island and they are pretty scary haha. Glad I subscribed to you guys, your videos are awesome
Thanks, guys - appreciate your feedback a lot! Our wildlife shots are usually taken with our 70-300mm Sony lens unless we've got really, close friendly animals, then it might be the Sony 24-105 F4 or our wide-angle 16-35 (but that is mostly for landscape or walkarounds). Are you also shooting on a Sony Alpha?
Great channel, thanks for sharing, I love watching your channel, make me want to take a plane and fly there!!
Thank you so much, so sweet of you! Take that plane, you won't regret it 😅. And let us definitely know, when you need any advice! Cheers, Doris & Matthias 🐻
Looks so great! I'm jealous of all the wildlife you got to see!
Thanks for dropping by! Western Australia is really a heaven for wildlife lovers 😍! We were super lucky! Have you been to Australia before? Cheers, Doris & Matthias
Bugs & Bears not yet, but we plan to try and shoot by the end of next year and see some fam! Keep up the good work!
Thank you for including cape range, I need to get back there
Cape Range is just 'Wow' 😎!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
Mine would be caves like mammoth cave, don’t know if you said this in the video
Haven't been there, but the pictures look amazing!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰

Amazing video. Thanks. Liked and subbed.
Thanks, my friend!
Amazing video. Where did you rent the vehicle from?
mitchell falls , gibb river road in the kimberlies also try esperence and albany for a rugged south coast and pristine white beaches
I'm sure Gibb River road is awesome. We skipped it for getting faster to Kakadu National Park, which was amazing up North! Thanks for the other suggestions. Would love to come back and visit them.
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
A very nice video very informative =) and i love also love to travel and i love the top 3 vid, the slowmo, the drone shot, and the underwater shot with the very choice of music .New subscriber here, top 2 is lovely good for insta indeed. c/t

Thanks, guys! We appreciate that a lot! Already subscribed :-)
Koalas look so cute! And they nap like my wife.... lmfao :) C/T
Haha, yep we're also big koala fans 🐨!
How's the WJ hold up in the heat down there?
Koalas are also seen at Outback Splash in Perth. Not just Yanchep.
Just down the road m8
I do not know, what is wrong with the audience! You have a great content here!
Hammer Video, hab direkt mal ein Abo da gelassen. Für uns geht es im August auch nach Australien :)
LG Balou
Hi Balou! Danke, das freut uns sehr! Sorry für die späte Antwort. Wie geht's euren Austrlaien-Plänen - seid ihr unterwegs oder doch nicht wegen Covid?
Liebe Grüße aus Österreich, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
@@bugsandbears Hay, nein wir sind leider noch in Deutschland :(
Haben unsere Pläne jetzt erst malnauf Juli 2021 aufgeschoben.
Hoffen wir das es dann möglich ist
Lg
@@balou-on-tour Ojemine! Ja, da geht's jetzt wohl vielen so. Wir genießen jetzt erst mal unsere Umgebung und sind auf vielen Micro-Adventures. Freuen uns aber auch schon wieder, wenn längere Reisen möglich werden!
I've heard great things of Western Australia, so I really want to go there! I like the running up to the camera thing you did. :-D To be so close to dolphins would be amazing! What was your favorite animal you saw?
We got a recommendation to visit. Actually, we decided very spontaneously to go and didn't regret it. Way fewer tourists than in the cities on the East Coast and so much wildlife! Paradise for nature/outdoor enthusiasts! Our favourite animal was for sure the spiky echidna (at 05:26). Cheers, Doris & Matthias
Very cool! April's parents lived there for a time, so she tells me we have to put in on our must-see list :-)
Looks freezing
Yanchep is meh - koalas are not native to Western Australia. Much better are the South West forests, with massive trees and more biodiversity than Europe, and the South coast near Esperance. You may have missed these if you just started in Perth and went North. Something else awesome I hope you saw: watch the desert sky on a cloudless night where there are no settlements within 100km and you can touch the stars.
Oh yes, we definitely had a few 5.000 star hotels in the middle of nowhere from our tent 😎. We'd love to visit the South Coast once! It should be awesome! Thanks for the suggestions.
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
@@bugsandbears Fitzgerald River National Park near Hopetoun & Ravensthorpe on the South Coast. It is spectacular. One of the most beautiful places on Earth.
What location is at 3:33min, how can we find this lookout?
You missed some of the great parks that are _south_ and east of Perth along the Southern Ocean coast.
I love your channel name c/t
Thanks! But KikiTiki is also very sweet indeed :-)
Love adventure and wildlife, but all of that stops at snakes lol We would really love to visit Australia, but seems like we need to devote a couple weeks there, because there is so much to do!
Traveling Graces Thanks for your feedback! Appreciate it a lot ☺️! Yes, we’d definitely recommend min. 4 weeks for Western Australia. We went in 5 from Perth up to Darwin and it was ok but really packed. A shorter version would be Perth to Exmouth or Broome. The National Parks alone are worth it 🌳!
Try for a month, 2 weeks not long enough!
Are you a German tourist or a German resident of Australia?
Despite jumping to quickly it's not a bad documentary Ich hoffe ihr hattet Spass
If anyone is going on a road trip, please make sure you have food, water, extra water , sunblock, first aid kit, snake kit, tell people where you’re going and details of your stops, gps, and most importantly a two way radio!
Thanks for the suggestions! Very good information for roadtrippers.
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
u should visit my place.. kabupaten Lebong provinsi bengkulu Indonesia
Looks beautiful. Let's hope we make it one day. We really love Indonesia and have visited your country twice. Have you seen our Komodo diving video: ua-cam.com/video/X55aYny1aE4/v-deo.html . Enjoy!
Which month did you visit these parks??
Hehe ehchidna
Echidnas are the best! We love them!
Cheers from Austria, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
Me who lives in WA:
-_- ngl it kinda is a paradise... Sorta... . .. not really. U have to go to the right places.
You deserve more views :(
Thanks, man!
Water n gas pipping, underground Internet pipping installed any problems???
No big problems. Thanks for watching.
Good English for a German
Thanks, Frank! But this accent we'll never get rid of 😅.
By the way, we're Austrians - small country, big difference 😉.
Cheers, Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
Yanchep is burning :(
So sorry! We've been following 😢.
Doris & Matthias 👨🏻👩🏻🦰
That example of Perth is not the best example of perfect all We have far more beautiful views and natural sceneries that really did not do us justice at all I'll forward you a better example of Perth
Please try talking quieter. Please brush your teeth if you’re going to do close ups. I couldn’t get past your first minute.
stop telling people
