Overview

Sea kayaking is a fantastic way to explore the sheltered lagoons and beautiful beaches of Ningaloo: you can paddle into paradise and leave the crowds behind.

Imagine gliding over pristine turquoise waters with only the sounds of nature around you. Stopping to snorkel beautiful sites, either from the beach or from your kayak, with your guide at your side.

Along the way you'll look for turtles, rays, schools of fish, and coral life from your kayak. You may even see dugong (May to July) and dolphins.

Small group sizes means our guides can personalise the tour to their guests, to make your experience unforgettable.

Enjoy the contrasting scenery of reef and range that this UNESCO World Heritage-listed area offers - all from the best seat in the house.
