Activities while on board “Shore Thing” include snorkelling in the protected reef lagoons, scuba diving (additional cost), and kayaking peaceful lagoons or to a secluded beach, observing marine life in their natural environment, photographing the beautiful natural surrounds, star gazing, beach combing or just plain relaxing, surrounded by the pristine beauty of the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park.

Accommodation pickups start at 9am. Join us on a journey south to some of the most remote areas of the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. The snorkelling experience is world-class as you surround yourself with pristine coral reef and an abundance of fish life. Our destination is the beautiful Sandy Point and Pelican Point Sanctuary. A perfect place to explore the shallow reef lagoons either by kayak or you can experience it by donning a mask, snorkel and fins. Enjoy walking along sparkling white beaches and viewing turtles in their natural feeding grounds. Dugongs can also be seen on occasions grazing on seagrass beds in the bay and inquisitive Dolphins can often be seen chasing fish throughout the clear water. Between June and November, Humpback Whales are a common site on the outer reef as they make their way north on their annual migration and return south with their calves for the summer. We arrive back in Coral Bay around 4pm on Day 3 and return you to your accommodation. 5 Day / 4 Nights ‘Ningaloo Escape’

There will be plenty of opportunities to view turtles, dolphins, dugongs, whales (seasonal) without even getting in the water! Then just imagine the thrill of what you may discover when you put on a mask, snorkel and fins! With over 70km of pristine and remote reef to explore between Coral Bay and Norwegian Bay without even going outside the protected waters of the Ningaloo Reef, there is an abundance of snorkelling and kayaking opportunities available as well as stunning secluded beaches to explore and perfect conditions for sailing in between stops. Departing Coral Bay at 10am, we head north via Bateman Bay, home to a population of majestic Manta Rays, which may if we are lucky grace us with their presence and allow us to snorkel with them – an unforgettable experience. We will visit the Historical ruins of Norwegian Bay Whaling Station and hear tragic tales of the many shipwrecks that lie on the Ningaloo Reef. If conditions are right we will also get an opportunity to snorkel on one of these historic shipwrecks.
