Ningaloo Reef comprises 200 species of hard corals and 50 species of soft corals with over 520 species of fish. The reefs close proximity to the shoreline means it is easily accessible, being a diver's and snorkeller's paradise. The Ningaloo Reef is famous for Whale Sharks, Mantarays, Humpback whales, Dugongs, Turtles, Potato Cod and hundreds of other different fish species.

Swim with Whale Sharks, snorkelling and diving the reefs, or just wandering along the shoreline exploring the crystal clear waters, gives you an appreciation and close up view of the aquatic world and nature at its premium. 

Whale Sharks - Every year from April to July following the mass spawning of coral, the world’s biggest species of fish congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park. 

Humpback Whales - Humpback whales visit the Ningaloo Reef between July to November each year.

Manta Rays - Manta Rays can be seen yearly at Coral Bay or between May to November in Exmouth.

Turtle Nesting - There are 4 known species of turtles in the Ningaloo Reef. These include the Green (most common), Loggerhead, Hawksbill and Flatback. You can see turtles year round in the waters but turtles come to lay there eggs and hatchlings arrive on our beaches between November and February every year.

Coral Spawning - A remarkable sight for divers and snorkellers. This occurs approximately 10 to 12 days after the full moon in both March and April
