Swim with Whale Sharks in Exmouth – Late March to Early August

Rating: 5/5โญ๏ธ with over 1,400 reviews

This is my favourite thing to do in Exmouth. Being in the water with these harmless giants is mesmerising and an experience of a lifetime.

One of the best tour operators is Kings Ningaloo Reef Tours. The price includes a bus from your Exmouth accommodation to the Tantabiddi Boat Ramp. The informative commentary on local points of interest is a bonus. Once on board the 17m boat, the crew provide wetsuits and snorkel equipment and a vessel safety brief.

The adventure begins with an introductory snorkel on the inner Ningaloo Reef. You may see turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, octopus, and colourful fish. Crew can provide snorkel tuition and flotation aids.

The spotter plane will be up in the air looking out for whale sharks for your whale shark swim. Crew divide you into one or two groups of ten and take turns swimming with the whale sharks.

Depending on the time of year, there may be the opportunity to swim with manta rays or see humpback whales.

Humpback Whale Tour – August to September

Rating: 5/5โญ๏ธ with over 1,400 reviews

These Kings Ningaloo Reef tours occur during whale migration season. Thousands of humpback whales migrate from Antarctica for mating and calving. They then return for summer.

My favourite part of this experience was watching whales breach and slap their tails on the water.

This Humpback Whale Swim Tour provides the flexibility to swim with humpback whales or watch.

Snorkelling

You can find many snorkelling spots along the Ningaloo Coast, with different ways to get to them. Experience the Ningaloo Reef from a dive boat, snorkel tour, or snorkel from the beach. Exmouthโ€™s best snorkel sites are in Cape Range National Park. These spots include Turquoise Bay, Oyster Stacks, and Lakeside.

As these beaches are in a national park, park fees apply. The current cost is A$15 per car. But, you can buy annual passes online (50% off for RACWA members).

Lakeside Beach Snorkel

If you’re looking for a great snorkelling spot, Lakeside Beach is the place to go. From the car park walk, 500 m south (left) along the beach and enter the water after the first Sanctuary Zone marker.

You’ll find some of the best coral between the shore markers and the two yellow floating buoys. Look for marine creatures like turtles or reef fish, as well as harmless sharks. Also, a resident giant groper lives in a coral cave here, so keep an eye out for him.

Oyster Stacks Snorkel

Oyster Stacks is an excellent place to snorkel for families or inexperienced snorkellers. The reef is steps from the shore in calm, shallow water. Enter the water at the end of the walking trail and can snorkel either south or north. Take care when entering or exiting the water as there are some sharp oyster shelled areas.

Only snorkel at Oyster Stacks on a high tide as this area is shallow, and you could damage the fragile coral. Look under oyster covered rocks to spot painted sweetlip and other reef fish.

Turquoise Bay

Turquoise Bay Drift Snorkel

TripAdvisor named Turquoise Bay as the 6th best beach in the world and the 2nd best in the South Pacific region. It’s located about 60 km on the other side of the peninsula from Exmouth town, in the Cape Range National Park. You don’t need a 4wd to get to Turquoise Bay.

Turquoise Bay Drift Snorkel is one of Western Australia’s best shore snorkelling sites. The ocean has protection from an extensive reef extending over 1 km offshore.

Read the signage as you enter the beach. Be cautious as the ocean can be rough with strong undercurrents, which can sweep you out deeper.

Drift loop

Access this snorkel site from the Drift Loop car park. Before the beach, read the information and warnings about the drift snorkel. Walk to the southern end of the beach, enter the water, and let the natural current take you over the reef. The current lets you explore the stunning reef gardens offshore while drifting. You must exit the water well before the north point of the sandbar as currents here are very strong.

We saw lots of colourful fish and coral, and there’s a chance to see turtles and squid. When you spot something interesting, duck dive to get a closer look. It’s difficult to swim back to the point of interest as you will be going against the current.

The tide must be 1.2 m and above, so check the tides online or with the Milyering Discovery Centre.

Tips for the Turquoise Bay Drift Snorkel
  • The currents are strong at Turquoise Bay, and the Drift Snorkel is only recommended for swimmers with a moderate to high level of fitness and capability. You should wear fins to assist in exiting the water.
  • Swim with a buddy.
  • Assess the conditions before entering the ocean.
  • Read all the safety signs at the beach entrance.
  • Weak or inexperienced swimmers should snorkel at Lakeside or Osprey Bay.

Bay Loop

The Bay Loop snorkel is easier than the Drift Loop as there is less current. Access this snorkel site via the Bay Loop car park, near the northern half of the bay. We didn’t see as much here though.

Exmouth Snorkelling Tours

An excellent and safe way to experience Ningaloo Reef is on a snorkel tour. Exmouth has a range of tours depending on the time of year and what wildlife you’re interested in seeing.

Some of the most popular snorkel tours in Exmouth are:

Look for Wildlife in Cape Range National Park

Cape Range National Park, 40 km south of Exmouth, is excellent if you prefer land activities. The park is over 50,000 hectares and offers hiking, four-wheel driving, and native funa and flora. A rugged limestone range dominates the landscape with deep canyons and pristine beaches.

Wildlife you may see include kangaroos, echidnas, emus, lizards, birds, and other reptiles.

Access to Cape Range National Park is via both sealed and unsealed roads. Most of the sites are suitable for two-wheel drives, but wet weather can cause them to deteriorate. The speed limit is 80 km to protect wildlife, and you should avoid driving at night for the same reason.

National Park fees apply. The current cost is A$15 per car, but you can buy annual passes online. RACWA members receive 50% discount if bought through RACWA.

Shothole Canyon

Drive through Shothole Canyon

Shothole Canyon is on the east side of Cape Range National Park, 17 km south of town. The canyon’s name is due to the holes caused by explosives in the 1950s. They detonated these to trigger miniature earthquakes for seismographic studies during oil searches.

The road winding through Shothole Canyon

The rough gravel track twists along the gorge floor and over dry creek beds. The drive is challenging to maneuver through in places. But the views of the colourful rock layers on the canyon walls is stunning.

As the track is difficult in places, I’d recommend some four-wheel drive experience.

At the end of the 12 km 4wd track, there’s a picnic area and a short walking trail up steps to a lookout area over the canyon.

Yardie Gorge Trail Map

Hike Yardie Gorge Trail

The Yardie Gorge Trail begins with the easy Yardie Nature Walk from the car park at the end of Yardie Creek Road. The path follows the gorge’s northern side with excellent views of the gorge and creek mouth. Keep an eye out for the rock wallabies on the southern side of the gorge. The Nature Walk is a Class 1, 1.2 km return walk.

The class 4 Yardie Gorge Trail leaves the Nature Trail at the end and ascends the range. The walk starts easy but gets harder as you go up with some rock scrambling involved. As you walk, look for the rare black-footed rock wallabies and birds nesting on the rugged gorge walls.

Yardie Creek

Do not go any further than the end of the walk to protect the threatened flora and fauna. Despite warning signs, several people sat on cliff edges and walking beyond the end of the trail! Not only is this dangerous, but it disturbs this sensitive habitat.

The return is easier, although it can be a bit slippery on the gravel as you descend. The trail is 1.5 km return to the trailhead at the end of the Nature Walk.

Diving

Exmouth Navy Pier

Exmouth Navy Pier is one of the most popular dive sites in Western Australia. It has a depth range of up to 15 meters and one of the world’s top shore dives. Some marine life to find include scorpion fish, moray eel, shrimp and octopus. Sponges and soft coral cover the pier, attracting reef fish like angel, and parrotfish.

The Navy Pier is a tidal dive site, so each tour has a different start time based on what the tide is doing that day.  

The pier is still used by Navy ships so it’s inaccessible to the public. But, you can arrange a dive through a licensed operator. You must be fit to do the Navy Pier Dive and logged a dive within the past twelve months.

Ningaloo Reef

Dive two different dive sites on Ningaloo Reef with a guide to navigate the underwater areas. This reef has over 250 species of corals and over 500 species of fish. Some marine life include giant trevally, snapper, turtles, reef sharks, and sea snakes.

Muiron Islands

The Muiron Islands Dive Tour offers coral gardens, desserted islands and diverse marine life. This tour operates daily between March and December. You may encounter turtles, dugongs, and stingrays.

Tubing

Relax on one of Exmouth Beaches

The Ningaloo Coast is where you’ll find some of Australia’s most breathtaking beaches. Whether it be for swimming, water sports, or simply relaxing in paradise, this coast has them all and more.

Exmouth Town Beach

Exmouth Town Beach is 1 km from town and ideal for morning walks and beachcombing. Swimming is best at high tide, but low tide is good for playing in the shallows. You can drive on this beach, and the northern part allows dogs.

Bundegi Beach by Tourism Western Australi

Bundegi Beach

Bundegi Beach is 12 km north of Exmouth and marks the start of the Ningaloo Marine Park. This beach is great for swimming, snorkelling, and fishing. A boat launching facility is at the southern end.

Surfers Beach (Dunes Beach)

Surfers Beach is 17 km north of Exmouth on the North West Cape. The surf break here is the safest, easiest to access, and most popular wave in Exmouth.

Mauritius Beach

If you’re looking for a clothing-optional beach, head to Mauritius Beach. This beach is close to the Vlamingh Head Lighthouse.

Cape Range National Park Beaches

Cape Range National Park has some of the best beaches in Australia. The sealed road to Yardie Creek is suitable for two-wheel-drive vehicles. But there are many unsealed beach access tracks throughout the park.

Sandy Bay is great for families due to the shallow, clear waters, wide beaches, and shaded tables. It’s a perfect picnic spot with shaded tables and ideal for swimming or land-based fishing.

Osprey Bay is another excellent beach for families, with picnic tables and toilets. Also, it’s a fantastic site for snorkelling from a kayak, small boat, or from the shore.

Visit Marina Quays

We rented a Holiday Home in the Marina Quays area, which is a lovely part of Exmouth. Take a drive or walk then head to Mantarays Ningaloo Resort for lunch or a drink. Try their signature espresso martini!

Take a Whale Watching Tour

If you don’t want to get wet, book a whale watching tour instead. The only ones I could see are the sunset wildlife cruises that leave from Exmouth.

Hire a Boat

There are a few companies that hire boats in Exmouth. Unfortunately, we haven’t used any of them, so I can’t recommend a particular one. But Exmouth Boat & Kayak hire are the most popular and offer a wide range. Dinghy’s start at A$165 a day, going up to A$700 for a 7.3m Island Cabin boat.

Book a Fishing Charter

Exmouth Boat hire also offer private fishing charters and group charters. Choose what you want to do from fishing, snorkelling, whale watching, or the Murion Islands.

Catch your Dinner

Some great land-based fishing spots include Torpedo Bay, Bundegi Flats, and Lighthouse Bay. Yardie Creek and Exmouth Marina offer some good fishing too. The best boat fishing spots in Exmouth are the Murion Islands and Exmouth King Reef. This is an artificial reef 10 minutes from the Exmouth Marina Boat Ramp.

Kitesurf

Sandy Bay in Cape Range National Park is one of the most popular kitesurfing spots in WA. The calm water makes it perfect for families and beginners.

For more advanced and those who enjoy kitesurfing waves, Graveyards is good. It’s located between the Lighthouse Caravan Park and Yardie Homestead.

loggerhead turtle swimming in the ocean

Take an Exmouth Turtle Tour

The flat sands of Ningaloo are where turtles lay their eggs, and hatchlings can grow in safety. You might spot turtles in the water hunting for food or sunbathing on the sandbanks.

Ningaloo is crucial for turtles. You can see them mating, laying eggs, and hatchlings heading to the sea. But, more visitors are coming, and they can disturb the turtles’ nesting. This is bad for the turtles.

To see the turtles, visit the Jurabi Turtle Centre. You can view them along the coast, by land in Cape Range National Park and Exmouth Gulf, or on a boat tour. Witnessing turtles is a unique experience you won’t forget.

View Coral from a Glass-Bottom Boat Tour

Ningaloo Glass Bottom Boat Tours have cruises including a coral viewing tour and snorkel tour.
