Ningaloo Reef is one of the Earth's last ocean paradises. Situated 1300km north of Perth, Western Australia, this unique World Heritage listed area boasts stunning marine and terrestrial ecosystems, easily accessed via the town of Exmouth and the adjacent Cape Range National Park.

Home to Junigudera and Baiyungu people for over 36 000 years, ‘Ningaloo/Nyinggulu’ is a Jinigudera word meaning ‘promontory’. Today ‘Ningaloo/Nyinggulu’ is used to refer to the broad area encompassing Ningaloo Reef and the coastal areas adjacent to it.

The Jinigudera and Baiyungu are a coastal, or saltwater, people, part of an incredibly complex culture which is inextricably tied to place. Materials uncovered from an archaeological dig in a rock shelter in Cape Range National Park indicate that Aboriginal people have been living along the coast for at least 36 000 years, possibly much longer. Exmouth Adventure Co acknowledges that our tours operate on Jinigudera country and we ask all visitors to respect the amazing natural environment, culture and history of Ningaloo/Nyinggulu.

The fringing reef of Ningaloo stretches for 300km from Exmouth Gulf in the north to Red Bluff in the south. As one of the longest and most pristine fringing reefs in the world, the amazing snorkelling opportunities, mere metres from the beach, are a massive drawcard for domestic and international tourists. The Ningaloo Marine Park encompasses a massive 5,000 square kilometres of ocean, boasting extraordinary biodiversity, with over 500 species of fish and over 200 species of coral in all.

Ningaloo is increasingly becoming famous world-wide for the opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks in their natural environment (late March to July); its superb turquoise lagoons; fantastic snorkelling; sea kayaking; and now the opportunity to swim with Humpback Whales (August to October).
