A ‘pretty cool ‘ experience, seeing some beautiful, awe inspiring creatures and scenery, aided by great guides, who knew their stuff and were professional and relaxed. That cushioned the disappointment re not kayaking, due to the weather. Good call! Informal snack and lunch were also well organised and welcome.

A fantastic tour! Our guide was incredibly friendly and patient, making sure all the beginners felt comfortable and safe. The water was unbelievably clear, and we were surrounded by colorful coral and tons of tropical fish. Seeing sea turtles was a definite highlight! I wished I could go back and do it again. Highly recommended!

The Exmouth adventure company offers the most extraordinary experience in a sublime remote area of Western Australia. Our group WEA from NSW experienced 5 days of kayaking along turquoise reef coastline. The turtles, sting rays and a multitude of fish were in abundance. Each cove we paddled into we would snorkel and have a picnic. Our camp behind the dunes was very well set up with clean comfortable tents and the bush kitchen was always dishing out delicious food. The hiking was equally amazing as we were surrounded but the ancient fossilised landscape. Our guides Neri and Jules were nothing but professional, hard working, fun wonder women who made sure our adventure was out of this world.

This was our 3rd trip to Ningaloo however our first kayak tour and it was all we hoped for. Sam, the tour guide was fantastic… entertaining, knowledgeable and inclusive and the day was great fun. Started with a great snorkel where we spotted octopus, turtle and plenty of other other reef life followed by leisurely paddles with beach breaks for morning tea and lunch. We would recommend this for anyone who can hold a paddle. Not too difficult and a great way to see the Ningaloo reef.

We had a fantastic action packed day kayaking and snorkeling in two different locations. Lily was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, well organised and fun to be around. I travelled with my 3 adult sons and we all had the best day. You need to be reasonably fit to fully enjoy the day. The equipment was of good quality and with Lily's clear instructions we all managed a successful kayak ride in turquoise waters and saw lots of turtles and fish and a big ray.

Our group of two families had a wonderful day out doing the Lagoon Explorer trip. Kayaking was a perfect way to see the lagoon and get us to some fabulous snorkelling spots. We saw reef sharks, turtles, dolphins, rays and soooo many beautiful fish. The pace of the day was perfect. Thank you Jules and Steve for your skill, knowledge and commitment to making it a great experience.
