Ningaloo Reef

UNESCO World Heritage Listed Ningaloo Reef is the heartbeat of this magnificent stretch of the West Australian coastline.

Stretching out over 705,015 hectares, the Reef hugs the Ningaloo Coast.  At 260 kilometres long, it is the only sizeable Australian Reef positioned close to a landmass.

Most famous for the graceful whale sharks, which feed there from March to August, the Reef is also rich in coral and other marine life.

During Winter, an excellent time to visit, the area is part of the migratory routes for a wide variety of marine life, including dolphins, dugongs, manta rays and humpback whales.

The Reef's status as the only large Reef positioned close to the mainland means you can easily explore from the beach without needing a boat.

Ningaloo supports hundreds of species of marine life as a breeding ground.

Even within the last decade, scientists have discovered new types of marine wildlife that the Reef nurtures.

This marine diversity provides unparalleled opportunities for scuba diving or snorkelling to explore the variety the Reef incubates.

Getting There

You can get to Ningaloo by air, car or bus.

Qantas flies into Exmouth, the gateway to Ningaloo, twice daily. Flying is the fastest and easiest way to visit the Reef.

Integrity Coach Lines operate between Perth and Exmouth, then onto Tom Price and Broome several times a week.

Driving from Perth takes up to 13 hours, so you will probably want to make the journey over at least two days and stop at some of the many sites along the way.
