Marine Eco Safari – Swim with Manta Rays
Trip Overview
Available all year round, join this adventure for a full-day, action-packed adventure exploring the incredible Ningaloo Reef! We provide wetsuits, snorkel gear, and fantastic food—morning tea, a full lunch, and afternoon snacks—plus coffee, tea, Milo, and cordial to keep you refreshed.
The highlight? Swimming alongside awe-inspiring manta rays! Our expert crew will do their best to make this unforgettable encounter happen—almost a daily event in Coral Bay.
Aboard our state-of-the-art vessel, Kurni-Ku, enjoy panoramic views from the upper deck as we cruise through tropical waters teeming with life. Snorkel vibrant coral reefs and spot reef sharks, turtles, giant clams, octopuses, and hundreds of reef fish. Our shallow-draft boat takes you to the very best snorkelling spots on Ningaloo!
You may also spot dolphins, dugongs, and seasonal humpback whales (though we follow conservation rules and won’t snorkel with them).
This incredible tour runs daily, with manta rays, turtles, and reef sharks seen most days of the year! While sightings aren’t guaranteed, our research involvement helps us find these amazing creatures.
