Shark Bay and Monkey Mia with a caravan or motorhome
Shark Bay and Monkey Mia runs 434 km from Geraldton to Monkey Mia. With a car and caravan, you're looking at 6 h 15 min behind the wheel. Our map shows it sealed the whole way.
We planned it on Motocamp's own router for a car and caravan and for a motorhome, at the sizes in the table below, so every number here comes from a real plan, not a guess.
The stops: Geraldton · Denham · Monkey Mia

Tell Motocamp what you drive, from an enduro bike to a 25-foot off-road caravan or a 10-metre motorhome, and it plans this trip for that vehicle: the roads it fits, the low bridges and closed roads to steer clear of, and places to stay on the way. The maps keep working where there's no signal.
