Australia Camper Rental - Fishing is a favourite South West activity!

There’s no doubt about it, renting a camper van gives you a fantastic freedom. The fact that you can go anywhere at any time is the key appeal of a driving holiday.  While it’s tempting to hit the open road with no plans, we wouldn’t recommend it.

Instead, we recommend planning an Itinerary. It doesn’t need to be detailed, but should be a basic guide to where you will travel and how long you intend to spend at each destination.

Suggested Itinerary: South-West Forest

Western Australia’s South West corner blends stunning white coastlines and blue ocean on the doorstep of lush, tall forests. It’s gourmet good, world-renown wineries and fine accommodation options make the South West a favourite place for couples seeking a romantic holiday. On the other hand, families and adventure seekers will find a plenty of fun in the South West’s farm stays, caravan parks, fishing spots, hiking trails, limestone caves and other tourist attractions.

After receiving this great review from Mary and David, we decided to write a bit about one of our customers’ favourite destinations – Money Mia. First, here’s the review:

We hired the campervan for 15 days in May to explore
the coast from Perth to Monkey Mia. The van was very
clean and well equiped.Terry was very helpful and easy
to deal with. We had a great time and it was fun. Highly
recommended.

Dolphin Feeding and Other Monkey Mia Activities

Monkey Mia is of course most famous for the public Dolphin feeding sessions. The sessions usually attract a large group of people, but you might be lucky enough to be selected to feed them! It’s typical for eight or more dolphins to visit Dolphin beach for the feeding session each day.

Apart from the dolphins, there are heaps of things to do in Monkey Mia, including swimming, fishing and snorkeling. Click here for information about things to do in Monkey Mia.

The fishing also comes highly recommended. Although you’re not allowed to fish from the jetty, there are plenty of fishing spots in the wider Shark Bay area and we’re told you’ll catch  Tailor, Whiting, Tarwhine and if you’re lucky maybe a Mulloway or two!

Experience Monkey Mia and Shark Bay with Campervan Rental

Monkey Mia is located in Shark Bay – about 850 km north of Perth – a drive you’re sure to enjoy in one of our rental campervans! If you’re in a hurry, you can do the drive from Perth in one or two days. Or, you can take inspiration from Mary and David and take your time to explore the coast for a few weeks.
