Ningaloo Marine Park

Reviewed By 38cathrync - Perth, Australia

WA you do not disappoint. Blessed is how we feel to have spent 7 nights here in the Ningaloo area. We took the advice to 'wanderoutyonder' and we are so glad we chose Coral Bay as our base. This place is beautiful. It was an epic road trip from Perth but worth every km! It is pristine, the beach is spectacular and safe. The marine life is abundant, if you could say there was a heaven here on earth this could be the place. Come here, leave only footprints and take hundreds of photos. Thank you!

Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area

Reviewed By BDOGNUTZ - Secret Harbour, Australia

Heaps to do at the Ningaloo Coast area , from snorkelling and its just meters off sure , unlike the coral reef in Qland, thoroughly enjoyed Lakeside to do this , just be aware of the good 500m to 700m walk to the prime location to the left . Plenty of fishing , swimming with wale sharks and than you have the canyon . To do sight seeing , hiking and climbing . Will be back . Pretty busy joint even in this COVID times.

Shark Bay

Reviewed By annettelaurie - Plymouth, United Kingdom

Shark Bay - We left Billabong Roadhouse and drove on up the Highway until we reached the turn off for Shark Bay, known to the local Malgana people as Gutharraguda, meaning two bays. It is a World Heritage listed site for its beauty and abundant prehistoric life forms, evolution in action and wildlife refuges. It is made up of the Francois Peron National Park, the Shark Bay Marine Park and Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve. Nearby is Shell Beach, a Discovery Centre, Eagle Bluff and a Discovery Trail - this is a great place for families - all the above is free and you get to see some amazing things and learn a little too. It is a sleepy little place but well worth driving from attraction to attraction over a couple of days.

Mandu Mandu Gorge

Reviewed By Finlay122 - Perth, Australia

If you enjoy a walk then I would recommend this over Yardie Creek - the Yardie walk provides a lovely view, but is a short and busy walk. Mandu Mandu was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. There are a couple of steep, scrabbly inclines and declines, but it is manageable for most people. We did not have a 4WD and our little Swift made it up the access road.

Hamelin Pool Marine Nature Reserve

Reviewed By geoffandjan06 - Bridgetown, Australia

Hamelin Pool is only one of two places in the world where living marine Stromatolites are known to exist. A boardwalk has been constructed so you get a good view of them. A must if you are ever in Sharks Bay.
