Your tour begins when we pick you up from your Exmouth accommodation just before 7am (October to March), or 11am (April to September). We then take the half hour drive around the NW Cape to the Tantabiddi boat ramp. Along the way your guide will fill you in on the unique human and natural history of this World Heritage-listed area, point out flora and fauna, and share stories about their experiences living and working in Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef. Upon arrival, you'll be kitted out with all of the necessary equipment, and following a kayaking and safety briefing, paddle your double sit-on-top kayak out to the Tantabiddi Sanctuary zone, a trip of approximately 30 minutes, where you'll enjoy spotting beautiful corals under your kayak. Once you are in the sanctuary zone, your guide will tie your kayak off to a dedicated 'kayak-only' mooring, and following a snorkel and safety briefing, you'll slide over the side of your kayak to enjoy the wonders below. Your guide will be by your side every step of the way to point out marine life, take photos to share with you, and ensure that you are having the best experience possible.

The staff went out of their way to help you to enjoy your adventure. They were fantastic. The sea kayaks were easy to use and we saw plenty of sea life from the kayak and in the water

Had a lovely morning kayaking and snorkeling. The guide, Nic was very good, explaining what we were going to do, helping people get in and out of the kayaks into the water. The snorkeling was very good, and was at a nice relaxed pace, so had plenty of time to look at things. Had a nice drink and snacks afterwards. Would recommend this tour.

You need to be quite fit as the kayaking is against a current one way and when you get to the reef you need to get in and out of the kayak. The snorkelling is like being in an aquarium and the water is warm so that you can spend a long time in the water. It was a magic trip.

The tour was fun. Staff were very helpful in guiding us how to kayak at the start, and they provided all kind of things that you may need, including dry bags, hats, sunglasses, in addition to common snorkelling equipments. Amazing service :)

Really great tour for those that enjoy kayaking and snorkeling. Basically kayak 1km (30 min) straight off the beach to a shallow sandy area near a fantastic snorkeling spot which our small group then enjoyed for the next 45-60 minutes. The two guides were excellent & really helped us on the way back when I struggled with the demands of kayaking and the breeze picked up. Thanks for a fantastic morning.
