Drive a Hire Car in Geraldton

Geraldton is a destination with scenic drive options in almost all directions. Whether heading along the coast, or into the rugged desert, the beauty of the unspoilt scenery is one of the major features of the area attracting visitors. First stop for most visitors though, is the harbour around which the city is built.

Drive your hire car down to the harbour, and explore the charming seaside area. The area is highly popular for fishing, as well as swimming and windsurfing, with pristine beaches in all directions. Keep an eye out for sea lions near the entrance of the harbour, which bask on rocks by the shore.

A scenic drive north of Geraldton in your hire car, you will find one of the areas most popular attractions, Kalbarri National Park. With fields of amazingly colourful wildflowers growing among rugged gorges and rock formations provide spectacular sights. To sample some of the unique local produce, take a slight detour inland on your return to Geraldton, and visit Chapman Valley. Here you will find a number of wineries with unique local flavours.

To visit some places few people are lucky enough to see, park your hire car in the harbour, and head out on a boat tour of nearby Houtman Abrolhos Islands. The waters in the area contain colourful reefs, rich in sea life, and the islands are home to some important seabird colonies. The islands were discovered long before the mainland, they were the site of several shipwrecks resulted from explorers trying to reach the west coast of the mainland. To learn a little about the ships that met their doom on the reefs, pay a visit to Geraldton Region Museum, located just near the harbour. The museum houses exhibits on the wrecks of three famous ships, the Batavia, Zuytdorp and Zeewijk, with retrieved artefacts on display also.
