During this 5 night Ningaloo Escape Tour spend 6 days aboard Shore Thing exploring the pristine Ningaloo Reef. This tour is like a marine safari with numerous sightings of mega-fauna including turtles, rays and reef sharks.
We sail in smooth calm waters winding through spectacular dense pristine coral formations and remote reef between Coral Bay and Norwegian Bay. We visit the historical ruins of Norwegian Bay whaling station and hear tragic tales of the many shipwrecks that lie on the Ningaloo Reef. We also get an opportunity to snorkel on one of these historic shipwrecks. You can view Turtles, Dolphins, Dugongs, Manta Rays, Whales (seasonal) and so much more.
Within the calm protected waters of the Ningaloo Reef, there are an abundance of snorkelling, scuba diving and kayaking opportunities available along with stunning secluded beaches to explore. No other Ningaloo Reef tour accesses these areas.

Sail Ningaloo - Shore Thing
Day 1 - As the tour departs at 4pm, you can fly into Learmonth on the day of your tour departure and there is plenty of time to get to Coral Bay and have a look around before joining us on board. The journey begins as we set sail in protected waters, winding our way through spectacular dense coral formations that surround Coral Bay. Enjoy a late afternoon snorkel or scuba dive before enjoying a magical sunset over the Indian Ocean as the vessel sails to its overnight anchorage. All of Sail Ningaloo’s tours cater for both snorkellers and scuba divers, from the not so confident, to experienced skill levels. You can expect to be offered 2 to 3 snorkelling activities per day depending on the time of year and scuba diving is offered on average 1 of those times, depending on the conditions of the day and sites visited. Being a shallow fringing reef, you can see & experience the best Ningaloo has to offer in shallow protected coral lagoons in any weather.

Day 2 - Following breakfast, enjoy a morning snorkel or scuba dive such as Pandora’s Garden, a beautiful coral garden exhibiting stunning plate coral formations and home to numerous marine turtles. After morning tea, we sail northwards via Batemans Bay, home to a resident population of coastal Manta Rays that frequent the inner reef to mate, give birth and feed. Enjoy a discussion on Manta Ray biology and behavior along the Ningaloo Reef with your guide, whilst we search for these graceful rays to snorkel with. Enjoy a freshly prepared buffet lunch before we navigate along the breath-taking Stanley Pools and explore the edge of the contrasting waters where the sand has been shaped by the waters movement to form distinct pools of deep blue water. We seek out dugongs, dolphins and humpback whales (seasonal, June – October) as we travel to our afternoon snorkeling and diving destinations on the way into Chabjuwardoo Bay for our overnight anchorage.

Day 3 - Sailing north towards Point Cloates, your crew and expert guides will select the best snorkel & scuba diving sites based on the conditions. Sites we visit over the next couple of days are only visited by Shore Thing and have been personally named by the Sail Ningaloo crew. We sail past the resting site of The Stefano, and Jane’s Bay, where survivors of this shipwreck made it to shore, an incredible tale of survival with assistance from the Aboriginal inhabitants of the North-West cape. This afternoon step ashore at Point Cloates and relish in the tranquility of watching the sun set over the Indian Ocean, with a birds eye view from the top of the sand dunes. Return to Shore Thing for a sumptuous 2-course dinner and review your photos, or the images the crew has collected over the day, of the various species of reef fish and corals. Learn and discuss the unique behaviors of the marine creatures you have observed.

Day 4 - After a hearty breakfast, your crew and guides will select the best snorkel & scuba diving sites around the Point Cloates area based on the conditions. Some of our favorites include Cloates Corner, The Clam Graveyard, The Benan Shipwreck and Central Station, seeing hundreds of species of colourful reef fish and a good chance to see reef sharks and turtles cruising by, as well as a huge variety of smaller critters, including spectacular nudibranchs & octopus. We sail into Norwegian Bay, passing the ruins of the historic whaling station, abandoned in the 1950’s. Learn about life in the whaling days on this remote stretch of coastline, where Humpback Whales migrate along the coast in their thousands. Have the opportunity to snorkel the Fin Shipwreck, an old whaling chaser that was wrecked during a cyclone in 1923 & now lies in shallow water inside the reef lagoon, a haven for reef fish & other marine life.

This is my fourth trip!!!!

5.00What an adventure. This is the fourth time that I have toured with Shore Thing. Each time has been different. Sometimes more SCUBA, sometimes more snorkel. And this time, climbing sand dunes and playing on a sand bank in the middle of the water. And after all the activity wonderful food, prepared fresh on board. Single, couple, family, Luke and his team tailor an experience to suit. Small boat cruising allows for all to enjoy.

5.00Had the most incredible experience exploring Ningaloo Reef with Sail Ningaloo. Spending 6 nights out on the water was absolutely amazing and an adventure I’ll never forget. We were surrounded by some of the most beautiful coral and marine life imaginable – sharks, turtles, manta rays, nudibranchs, octopus, eels and so much more. Every day brought something new and exciting. The food was outstanding, the crew were genuinely lovely, and the whole experience was relaxed, friendly and professionally run. It’s definitely a bit of a splurge, but worth every cent. For anyone who loves diving or snorkelling, this is an absolute MUST.
Amazing experience!

5.00I did the Ningaloo whale shark swim package, which included the 5 day Sail Ningaloo trip plus a whale shark swim. This was the experience of a lifetime! Both were great. The Sail Ningaloo trip on Shore Thing included 4 dives and multiple snorkels on the beautiful Ningaloo reef. With only 7 passengers (and only 3 divers), the well-equipped 52 foot catamaran was spacious and comfortable. The three expert staff (skipper Dom, chef/guide Josh, and divemaster/guide Sandra all displayed a passion for delivering the best experience, with a focus on discovering the wildlife of the reef. We saw manta rays, turtles, reef sharks, stingrays, octopuses, dolphins, a tiger shark and a leopard shark (plus whalesharks and more (including a reef shark, leopard shark and stingray) on the whaleshark swim with Exmouth Dive and Whalesharks)! Plus large numbers of tropical fish and beautiful coral. A highlight was visiting a grey reef shark cleaning station. Not to mention the sunsets and stars! This is the best way to see Ningaloo Reef, with lots of time in remote spots with usually no one else around. Josh's culinary creations were exquisite! It was a first class, luxury experience. It was nice meeting the other passengers. Many thanks to the crew!

5.00Simply put, it was a truly magical adventure. A true fairyland. The Sail Ningaloo boat and crew were wonderful. The attention to detail, whether the boat itself, the meals, accommodation, snorkling and diving, information and assistance was second to none. It felt more like a family expedition than a formal cruise. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly. The crew were a well oiled team, obviously comfortable around each other. And the reef itself was amazing. Colourful and healthy looking. The encounters with the fish life, especially the mantas and (unexpectedly while following a turtle) a whale shark was memories which will last forever. And one can't forget the sunsets!!!!! A wonderful experience. And highly recommended.
The very best experience, first class care

5.00You can judge a company by the way it treats it customers. These guys went over and beyond to help us. They were a delight to deal with. Especially Cristie who was our life line with excellent communication and kindiness in a difficilt situation. We were due to arrive in Exmouth on the 28 March and join the Shore Thing on 2 April. Unfortnately Cyclone Narelle Cat 4 made landfall at Exmouth, oblierating Learmouth Airport. Qatas cancelled all flight for the forseeable future. We were distaught having waited alongtime and travelled from the UK for this experience. Sail Ningaloo were magificent, taking care of us. We were treated with empathy and koindiness. Highly recommen this team. We will be back for another attempt and we will definately be using Sail Nigaloo . Thank you everyone Karen & Jerry
Brilliant experience

The best way to see Ningaloo Reef

5.00From booking through to our drop-off, the Sail Ningaloo team provided exceptional service. We have visited Coral Bay/Ningaloo before and expected our 5 night experience on the boat to be great fun - as scuba divers we are always happy to be in the water - but we didn't expect the whole experience to be as superbly curated, organised and delivered at every stage of every day. Our incredibly thoughtful team, Dom, Josh and Sandra, could not have been more obliging and professional. Our dives were well selected for the conditions, all equipment is high quality and well-maintained, site briefings were thorough and the dives were all safe, relaxed and fun. We also snorkeled and would not hesitate to recommend this for non-divers as the reef is so shallow, much of the wildlife and the corals are on display from the surface. We feel privileged to be able to spend time in this pristine environment. We saw almost no other boats and we had every dive site to ourselves. A personal highlight was the grey shark cleaning station where - for 45 minutes - we watched at least 12 grey sharks having their teeth cleaned by wrasse. Amazing. The team also managed my partner's complicated dietary needs- nothing was too much trouble and every meal was excellent. We are telling everyone we know to do this.
The best way we could have seen such a huge variety of sea life on the Ningaloo reef

5.00This was an exceptional experience. Shore Thing, skippered by Dom, was a great boat - the ensuite double bedroom was as comfortable as I can imagine on a yacht. We had 6 days of snorkelling - 1-3 trips a day to suit - led by Hendrik our underwater guide who had a superb ability to lead us to various habitats with great knowledge and love of the creatures there - I think he is an Octopus whisperer! Josh, the chef's cooking was as good as any top class restaurant.

5.00Most excellent & motivating to pull out all stops to protect Ningaloo Reef, Cape Range & the entirety of Exmouth Gulf. We need to plan to return.
