Ningaloo Marine Park

Reviewed By 38cathrync - Perth, Australia

WA you do not disappoint. Blessed is how we feel to have spent 7 nights here in the Ningaloo area. We took the advice to 'wanderoutyonder' and we are so glad we chose Coral Bay as our base. This place is beautiful. It was an epic road trip from Perth but worth every km! It is pristine, the beach is spectacular and safe. The marine life is abundant, if you could say there was a heaven here on earth this could be the place. Come here, leave only footprints and take hundreds of photos. Thank you!

Shark Bay

Reviewed By annettelaurie - Plymouth, United Kingdom

Shark Bay - We left Billabong Roadhouse and drove on up the Highway until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay, known to the local Malgana people as Gutharraguda, meaning two bays. It is a World Heritage listed site for its beauty and abundant prehistoric life forms, evolution in action and wildlife refuges. It is made up of the Francois Peron National Park, the Shark Bay Marine Park and Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. Nearby is Shell Beach, a Discovery Centre, Eagle Bluff and a Discovery Trail - this is a great place for families - all the above is free and you get to see some amazing things and learn a little too. It is a sleepy little place but well worth driving from attraction to attraction over a couple of days.

We spent a good couple of hours here. Beautiful modern building with displays including Cyclone Vance (a great simulation room), the VLF installation/US personnel, WW2 info, settlement of the Exmouth area, natural history and a beautifully done Aquarium. Very well worth a visit for families or individuals.

Ocean Park Aquarium

Watch the raw fury of sharks feeding from the safety of our observation decks by joining a guided tour of the park with a marine scientist, or relax with never ending ocean views at Ocean Park Cafe. We are famous for our fine quality coffee, delicious cake and fresh seafood meals!

Reviewed By mespirit1296 - Aveley, Australia

Had the awesome experience to witness the marine life within the aquarium, we had Josh as our guide who was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and his passion about the marine life made learning about the creatures even more easier and having experienced the shark feeding was the highlight of the tour. After our tour we had a very tasty lunch on the boardwalk overlooking the ocean/bay. Would highly recommend visiting the place.

Spectacular, safe snorkelling right at the ocean edge!! What a beautiful little piece of paradise this is - even when it is jam packed with travellers!! A great place for families with a perfectly safe beach for the little ones, plenty of colourful marine life easily accessible for everyone, awesome fishing and a great little bakery. It's a YES from me!! Can't wait for next year's return trip!
