Ningaloo Reef Information

Ningaloo Reef stretches 260 kilometres along the coast of Western Australia, the longest fringing reef in the world. It's less developed for tourism than the Great Barrier Reef, but it's much closer to the shore. In some places, just a few kicks bring you to a reef with its 500 species of fish and 220 species of colourful corals. Brightly coloured fish swim close to the beaches in the shallow waters of the protection lagoon, and there are no poisonous jelly fish!

Migrations of giant whale sharks and humpbacks attract those who love marine animals to Ningaloo. Divers and plain snorkellers come to swim with the whale sharks March to June, and June to October its humpback whale watching time. In addition green and loggerhead turtles come onto the beaches to lay their eggs in the summer. Dugongs, dolphins and mantas are also often seen.

Some historic wrecks add further attraction for divers and recreational fishing is allowed in many areas.

People can participate in snorkelling or scuba diving cruises to the outer reefs. A number of coral viewing vessels enable visitors to cruise over the santuary zone in comfort. A multitude of fish can be seen on these cruises including the friendly spangled emperor which usually follow the boats in large numbers.
