- Unnamed Road - We’ll pick you up from your Exmouth accommodation and make the short drive (10 minutes) to our tour launch point in the Bundegi Sanctuary Zone, amongst the northern stretches of World Heritage listed Ningaloo Reef. Upon arrival, we’ll kit you out with all the gear you’ll need, and after a quick familiarisation with your kayak and a safety briefing, we’ll head out for a paddle. Look for juvenile turtles, rays, schools of fish and even baby reef sharks in the shallows from your kayak in this area known as Ningaloo’s nursery. After some kayaking, we’ll head a little way offshore and tie off to some ‘kayak only’ snorkel moorings to slip over the side of your kayak and explore the coral reef and amazing underwater life, including schools of fish and green turtles. The kayaking and snorkelling is suitable for novices, with our experienced guides on hand to point out interesting creatures and make you feel at ease. A snack stop on the beach gives the opportunity to rest and refuel.

Amazing day on the water - Had a great day out with nature and no noisy boats. The water was glassy clear still conditions. Saw and swam with several turtles saw some great Coral which was not so bleached. Some amazing fish, rays and great birdlife in the mangroves.
Thanks, Kolton for being the best guide!
Great small friendly group.

Great time had by all. - Jules did a great job of explaining how to use all equipment and keep us safe.
Had a great time. Heaps of fish, turtle, dugong, giant clam, osprey and the reef is recovering after a bleaching in January 2025.
The small group made the trip more enjoyable
Thanks team.

Might just be our favourite snorkelling experience! - One of the best snorkel experiences we’ve ever had! We often like to go snorkelling but this was just a great way to see the beautiful reef. We were lucky enough to have nearly no wind and beautiful visibility!
Thanks Nick and Colton!

Great trip! Lots of turtles, a manta ray and an incredible guide - The guide (Nick) was amazing, he knew exactly where to go to see loads and loads turtles and we even saw a manta ray!! He was great after the kayak back, telling us lots about the marine wildlife that we saw out on the snorkel and the marine life in the local area. Was an incredible morning, would definitely recommend

Great trip with expert guide. Loved it. - I was not that experienced but Nick the guide made it happen for me. I am ok with the Kayak but not snorkelling. He lead me to see all the sights under water which was amazing from the coral , fish life, turtles and stingrays! I was amazed as first trip of this kind. Thanks again Nick

Just the right amount of adventure! - This was a great tour with a good amount of ‘adventure’ for our family of four beginner kayakers and snorkelers. After timely collection from our accommodation, we were given helpful instruction by our guide Nick, and were all fitted out with good quality gear. Nick did well meeting the different needs of our diverse tour group. After paddling out to the buoy, Nick helped with adjusting the kids’ snorkels and made sure we were comfortable. We were amazed by the diversity of sea life so close to shore - we saw the promised turtles as well as stingrays, dolphins and many amazing fish and beautiful coral formations. A great afternoon out, thanks Nick and colleagues!
Also, thanks for sharing photos from the day with us - great mementos - and a special mention for Ally in the office who made sure the whole family could go on the same tour.

Ok but not what was advertised - Enjoyable half day paddling with a sea kaya in the mangroves. Guide was great but we didn’t go to where we were supposed to go. No turtles and no reef fish. Just a few small rays that swam past as a great rate of knots. Disappointment with last minute change.
