- Yardie Creek Road - The tour begins with pick-up from your Exmouth accommodation starting just before 8am. We then take the journey into Cape Range National Park. Depending on the launch site for the day, this may take 40 - 50mins. Your guide will choose the tour destination on the day to give you the best experience, depending on prevailing environmental factors. We usually explore the lagoon areas between Ned’s Camp and Lakeside or Osprey Bay and Pilgramunna. Upon arrival at the launch site, you will get fitted out with all the gear needed for the day, acquainted with your kayak, and your guide will give a safety briefing before heading out for the day. 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. Along the way you’ll look for turtles, rays, schools of fish, and coral life from your kayak. Snorkelling is included in this tour; this may be from the shore or from your kayak (don’t worry it’s easy, we’ll show you how!). You’ll be amazed at the beautiful diversity of marine life at Ningaloo. Enjoy rest time on the beach over morning tea and lunch. No prior sea kayaking experience necessary.

A more than worthwhile experience - A ‘pretty cool ‘ experience, seeing some beautiful, awe inspiring creatures and scenery, aided by great guides, who knew their stuff and were professional and relaxed. That cushioned the disappointment re not kayaking, due to the weather. Good call! Informal snack and lunch were also well organised and welcome.

Unforgettable experience - A fantastic tour! Our guide was incredibly friendly and patient, making sure all the beginners felt comfortable and safe. The water was unbelievably clear, and we were surrounded by colorful coral and tons of tropical fish. Seeing sea turtles was a definite highlight! I wished I could go back and do it again. Highly recommended!

Nature at its best. - The Exmouth adventure company offers the most extraordinary experience in a sublime remote area of Western Australia.
Our group WEA from NSW experienced 5 days of kayaking along turquoise reef coastline. The turtles, sting rays and a multitude of fish were in abundance. Each cove we paddled into we would snorkel and have a picnic.
Our camp behind the dunes was very well set up with clean comfortable tents and the bush kitchen was always dishing out delicious food.
The hiking was equally amazing as we were surrounded but the ancient fossilised landscape.
Our guides Neri and Jules were nothing but professional, hard working, fun wonder women who made sure our adventure was out of this world.

Sam and the Giant Octupus - This was our 3rd trip to Ningaloo however our first kayak tour and it was all we hoped for.
Sam, the tour guide was fantastic… entertaining, knowledgeable and inclusive and the day was great fun.
Started with a great snorkel where we spotted octopus, turtle and plenty of other other reef life followed by leisurely paddles with beach breaks for morning tea and lunch.
We would recommend this for anyone who can hold a paddle. Not too difficult and a great way to see the Ningaloo reef.

Fantastic tour to get a taste of Ningaloo Reef - We had a fantastic action packed day kayaking and snorkeling in two different locations. Lily was a wonderful guide, knowledgeable, well organised and fun to be around. I travelled with my 3 adult sons and we all had the best day. You need to be reasonably fit to fully enjoy the day. The equipment was of good quality and with Lily's clear instructions we all managed a successful kayak ride in turquoise waters and saw lots of turtles and fish and a big ray.

Wonderful day out - Our group of two families had a wonderful day out doing the Lagoon Explorer trip. Kayaking was a perfect way to see the lagoon and get us to some fabulous snorkelling spots. We saw reef sharks, turtles, dolphins, rays and soooo many beautiful fish. The pace of the day was perfect. Thank you Jules and Steve for your skill, knowledge and commitment to making it a great experience.
