-
1Day One: Perth to Coral Bay
Take an early morning flight to Exmouth (Learmonth Airport), then pick up a hire car at the airport or meet your pre-booked airport transfer (must be pre-booked as transfers don't meet every flight), and set off on the 90 minute drive south to Coral Bay.
-
2Day Two: Around Coral Bay
Spend the day swimming and snorkelling, throw in a line for some beach fishing or join a fishing safari, and set off onto the reef to swim with at least one of Ningaloo's Big 3 - manta rays (year-round), whale sharks (March-July) or humpback whales.

3Day Three: Coral Bay to Exmouth
Set off towards Exmouth via the main sealed road or by 4WDing around the western side of the North West Cape (weather and conditions permitting). Join a local tour or spend some time exploring the town and its surrounds. There are plenty of options for dinner, including microbreweries.
-
4Day Four: Around Exmouth
Immerse yourself in the marine and land-based wonders surrounding Exmouth, with the Ningaloo Reef and Cape Range National Park easily accessible.
-
5Day Five: Exmouth to Perth
It's time to fly home. Spend the morning enjoying Exmouth town before transferring to the airport for your flight back to Perth.
Swim with a whale shark, explore the grandiose Cape Range National Park or simply laze back on the pristine beaches in and around Coral Bay and Exmouth.
A snorkellers’ paradise, Coral Bay boasts calm, protected waters and hundreds of fish and coral species. Here, the reef spans two kilometres from the shore - an endless source of marine life. To explore further out, take a glass-bottom boat trip or join a snorkelling tour. Spend the evening watching the sunset and dining at one of Coral Bay’s great restaurants.
Meanwhile, Exmouth has a range of tours and activities available, as well as plenty of places to stay in the town, ranging from beachfront retreats, holiday park cabins, to town centre hotel-style accommodation. If you didn't swim with Whale Sharks in Coral Bay, you can do so in Exmouth from March to late July, or swim with Humpback whales from July to October. Alternatively, spend the day fishing, swimming or diving. Here's your opportunity to try one of the best diving spots in the world - the Navy Pier. Or, if conditions are right, take a day trip out to the nearby Muiron Islands. Or, spend the day exploring Cape Range National Park, either on an adventure tour or a self-drive. On the coastal side of the Park, Turquoise Bay is a must, with excellent drift snorkelling. Stop off at Milyering Visitor Centre, for an interpretation of the marine and coastal ranges environments. In the afternoon, follow the marked walk trail up into the gorges of Cape Range National Park and visit Yardie Creek, a must for walkers and nature-lovers. Head back to Exmouth before dark.
