Ningaloo Reef region of

Western Australia

Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia is a dream come true for snorkellers and divers. Regarded as one of the last great ocean paradises on Earth, it is Australia’s largest fringing reef and lies just meters from the shore in many places, so you can snorkel straight off the beach.

The world-famous Ningaloo Marine Park that protects the reef stretches 260 kilometres along Western Australia’s coast, from Bundegi Reef near Exmouth to Amherst Point near Coral Bay.

Here you can dive and snorkel with a breathtaking array of tropical fish over coral gardens, relax on pristine secluded beaches and experience the incredible thrill of swimming with the world’s largest fish, the whale shark.

It’s little wonder that visitors are drawn from all corners of the globe to the Ningaloo Reef region on Western Australia’s Coral Coast.
