Ningaloo Reef Private Luxury Snorkel & Dive Sail

Board a premium sailing catamaran for an exclusive guided snorkel through Ningaloo Reef's UNESCO-listed coral gardens — manta rays, sea turtles, and reef sharks beneath glass-clear water. The finest reef experience in Australia outside the Barrier Reef.

What to expect

Sail out of the sheltered Exmouth lagoon with the Ningaloo fringing reef visible beneath the hull. Your guide leads you through bommies alive with Maori wrasse, hawksbill turtles, and squadrons of batfish. Scuba divers can explore the outer reef wall while snorkellers float the coral garden above. Premium grazing platters, chilled Western Australian wines, and reef-safe sunscreen are provided.
