Coral Bay (Ningaloo Reef)

Publié: 22.08.2024

we saw small turtles and a baby ray. Then came the real highlight, snorkeling with a ray that had a wingspan of 4 meters. What we particularly liked was that the team knew the animals (photo ID) and we were instructed to keep our distance. The next animal we snorkeled with was a tiger shark. This is rather rare, as they disappear very quickly. Just out of the water, we spotted a large turtle and went back into the water. During lunch, we saw humpback whales in the water and were able to watch them play naturally. On the way to the last snorkeling spot, we saw many small turtles and dugongs. During the last snorkeling session, we went to the outer edge of the Ningaloo Reef to observe reef sharks at cleaning stations. Moreover, we let ourselves drift through a small opening in the reef. Afterwards, we returned to the shore.

However, we still appreciated the dunes and the turquoise sea. In the distance, we saw surfers and were able to watch humpback whales from the dunes over several hours.</p><p><br /></p>

On August 19th - Today, we headed to the next coast at Ningaloo Reef. This coast is a World Heritage site and is one of the healthiest coral reefs in the world. First, we visited the little town of Coral Bay and went snorkeling there. In the afternoon, we headed to the next campsite, which was once again a farm. We reached Warroora Station Stay via a gravel road that took about 45 minutes. This campsite is smaller than Bulllara Station Stay. Even though the farm is less frequented, it has its own charm - much smaller, less commercial, but with access to the sea.


On August 20th - Wuhu, today we had to get up at 5:45 AM! The reason was a booked tour to marvel at and explore the megafauna of the Ningaloo Reef while snorkeling. Equipped with wetsuit, snorkel, mask, fins, and underwater camera, we were ready for the tour. During the
