Getting There

Exmouth  is renowned for its white sandy beaches and warm weather all year round with temperatures ranging from 25 to 42 degrees which creates excellent conditions for marine activities.

The 260 kilometre expanse of Ningaloo Reef runs down the western coast of Exmouth Cape. It is a fringing reef and its easy accessibility from the shore is one of its attractions.

The marine park is home to over 220 species of coral and 500 species of fish, together with larger inhabitants such as seasonal whale sharks, humpback whales, dugongs, manta rays, turtles, sail fish, marlin, potato cod and giant groper. 

 

 

This unique area is accessible by air, bus or car.

Learmonth Airport is 36 kilometres south of Exmouth and is services daily by Skywest Airlines from Perth and once a week during the high season from Broome.

Swimming, snorkeling and

diving

with whale sharks is a very popular tour on Ningaloo Reef. Scuba

diving

is not allowed with whale sharks but swimmers can free

dive

although the whale shark swims just below the surface. Ningaloo Reef is well known for

diving

. There are many
diving
sites on the reef suitable for all levels of
diving
. No

diving

experience is needed to swim with a whale shark because it is a snorkel only tour. Many people combine their time in Exmouth with

diving

and whale shark tours. When

diving

and snorkeling with whale sharks swimmers must keep 3 metres away from the body and 4 metres from the tail. Swimmers are discouraged from

diving

under the whale shark as it may dive. During the whale shark tour a

diving

flag must be displayed. The

diving

flag must be displayed so other vessels know there are snorkellers in the water. Sometimes a whale shark can be seen

diving

deeper in the water. One of the most exciting things to do on Ningaloo Reef is

diving

with whale sharks. All the family can join a tour to go

diving

with whale sharks. Not everyone wants to go

diving

but they are welcome to watch from the vessel as other passengers swim with whale sharks.
