There is ample time to explore the area and to take some colourful photos from these amazing formations. These impressions of lights and colours will stay with you for many years to come. We head north along the coast via Jurien Bay and Leeman towards Geraldton, the sunniest town in W.A. Cruising along the coastal road we enter the Kalbarri National Park via Port Gregory. You can experience some of the most picturesque grazing land as well as the rough coastline. In the early evening, we will arrive in the “laid back village” of Kalbarri.

Day 4: Carnarvon - Exmouth (Ningaloo Reef)

After enjoying breakfast, our today’s destination will be beautiful Coral Bay. Here, we will encounter the 260 km long natural wonder of the Ningaloo Reef. Specialists say that the marine life of this reef is more abundant than that found at the Great Barrier Reef. As the reef is not far from shore, it can be readily discovered with the aid of a snorkel and flippers on an outing in a glass-bottom boat. The shallow water of the reef is home to various sea creatures, such as corals, unusual sea stars, crustaceans and over 500 species of different fish. In the afternoon, we take up our journey to Exmouth.

Accommodation: Mantarays Ningaloo Beach Resort, Exmouth

Day 5: Exmouth Whale Shark Snorkel Tour

Pick up from our accommodation and transfer to the jetty. After the crew is introduced and a vessel safety brief is given, wetsuits and snorkel equipment are handed out and fitted. The marine adventure then begins with an introductory snorkel on the beautiful inner Ningaloo Reef. We are waiting for the spotter plane to notify us that a whale shark has been found. This day, swimming and snorkelling so close to that majestic big fish, will provide you with unforgettable memories that you will keep all your life. After a delicious lunch, and if time permits, we head back to the inner reef to conclude the day with a reef snorkel. You may have the opportunity to see manta rays and humpback whales from the boat.
