They migrate between mid-March and July to hunt for krill and plankton. These gentle giants span up to 10 metres long and seeing them up close is nothing short of magical. Ningaloo Reef also has one of the largest gatherings of humpbacks in the world. They join the whale sharks from June until November on their journey from Antarctica.

To put this into perspective, it\u2019s bigger than Tassie and Victoria combined! It\u2019s also the only living organism that can be seen from space. It consists of thousands of individual reefs and about 600 species of coral that support this amazing ecosystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It might not be <em>as<\/em> big as the Great Barrier Reef, but Ningaloo is still one of the world\u2019s largest (and healthiest) fringing reefs. It\u2019s home to roughly 200 species of hard coral and 50 species of soft coral. The Great Barrier Reef has bigger and more diverse coral gardens, but Ningaloo\u2019s are just as spectacular.

The easiest way to visit the Great Barrier Reef is to fly into Cairns, Hamilton Island Airport (also known as the Great Barrier Reef Airport) or Whitsunday Coast Airport in Propsperine. From here you can take a boat tour to the reef. The journey can take up to 1.5 hours depending on the starting point. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2.jpg\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2.jpg\" alt=\"A beach view along Coral Bay on the Ningaloo Coast\" class=\"wp-image-48207 lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2.jpg\" alt=\"A beach view along Coral Bay on the Ningaloo Coast\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-48207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/AU-WA-Ningaloo-Reef-Coral-Bay-scenic-beach-views-web-blog-643909711-ss-800x450-2-585x329.jpg 585w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<p>Unlike the Great Barrier Reef, Ningaloo Reef is located just off the shore of Coral Bay and you can simply pop on your snorkel and swim out to it if you want! The other starting point for tours is Exmouth, which has more accommodation options, restaurants and things to do. Getting to Coral Bay or Exmouth is a bit of a trek if you\u2019re travelling from outside of WA. The closest airport is in Learmonth (36 km south of Exmouth), and you can only fly direct from a few destinations in Australia including Perth, Rockhampton and Paraburdoo. It might be easier to fly into Perth and transfer to Learmonth by car. <\/p>\n<p>We hope this guide has given you a better idea of where to go for your next coastal adventure. No matter which reef you choose, we have no doubt you\u2019ll have an amazing time exploring these incredible underwater worlds.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Join us on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/australia\/great-barrier-reef\">Great Barrier Reef <\/a>or<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/australia\/ningaloo-reef\"><strong>Ningaloo Reef<\/strong><\/a><strong> tour.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ticking off one of the seven natural wonders of the world or swimming with whale sharks?
