Travel North to The Coral Coast

Famous for the friendly dolphins found at Monkey Mia within Shark Bay, this region is a wonder of the natural world, well known for its white beaches, turquoise waters and rust-red sand dunes. Shark Bay is renowned for its marine life, on any visit you're likely to spot humpback and southern right whales, dugongs, turtles, dolphins and manta rays. It became Western Australia's first World Heritage listed area in 1991 and is now one of only a handful of places across the globe to satisfy all four criteria for World Heritage listing.

Ningaloo Reef is unique because it's the world's largest fringing reef which means it can be reached just by stepping offshore. It extends 11 miles seaward and encompasses nearly 2,000 square miles of ocean. The shallow lagoons formed by the reef, and the deeper offshore waters create a diverse array of habitats for a multitude of colourful corals and more than 500 species of fish. There are whale sharks, turtles, dugongs, dolphins and humpback whales. The Park provides an excellent opportunity to fish (outside sanctuary zones), swim, snorkel, dive, observe marine life and relax on the beach.
