Where we visit:

The full day tour meets at 8am to check in at the shop (Shop 8, Coral Bay Arcade) where you will be provided with all the equipment you need for the day. Then, the group head down to the jetty on the bus to begin the day's adventure!

This tour includes two dives or two snorkels on the incredible Ningaloo Reef. Here, you can see a variety of tropical fish, possibly turtles, sharks and definitely beautiful coral structures. In between the two dives/snorkels, the group will head out into Batemans Bay, a sandy bottom bay, and send the spotter plane out in search for manta rays. If the crew find mantas, you will then have the opportunity to snorkel with them! The crew will try their very best to get you as much time in the water with the manta rays.

Once you have completed our manta ray interaction portion of the day, the group will cruise around the bay in search of other marine animals while the crew prepare lunch. You will get to enjoy a buffet-style lunch on board and the crew can accommodate for any dietary requirements. Once the group have filled their bellies, the tour will head back over to the Ningaloo Reef and enter the water for the final in water activity! You will then head back to the jetty and finish the day back at the shop.
