Travelers

The morning light on the Coral Coast slices across a flat, turquoise lagoon. Paddles dip in time with small, purposeful waves as a white-van convoy unloads double kayaks onto a wide, quiet beach inside Cape Range National Park. Guides fit lifejackets and hand over dry bags; the ocean seems to breathe, a slow steady pull that invites you to push off and glide.

Adventure Tips

Hydrate before you arrive

Bring at least 1–2L of water in shoulder seasons and 2–3L in summer—dehydration sneaks up fast in Western Australia's heat.

Use reef-safe sunscreen

Apply mineral-based sunscreen and wear a long-sleeve rash shirt to protect coral and your skin.

Know the kayak weight limit

Individual kayak weight limit is 110 kg—book early and advise the operator of any requirements.

Practice basic snorkeling

If you’re new to snorkeling, ask for a short refresher from the guide before you enter the water to maximize comfort and safety.

History

Cape Range’s limestone ridges were formed by ancient coral and marine deposits; the Ningaloo Coast is recognized for its rich marine biodiversity and community protections.

Conservation

Choose reef-safe sunscreen, avoid touching coral and maintain respectful distances from wildlife; small-group tours reduce pressure on sensitive sites.
