Benefit from pick-up at your hotel in Exmouth, and then journey by air-conditioned bus to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ningaloo Reef. Climb aboard a purpose-built, super comfortable 60-foot sailing catamaran called "Windcheetah" to meet the crew and get kitted out with your fins, masks and wetsuits. Once everyone feels at ease, explore the first snorkel site to discover an abundance of coral, tropical fish, turtles and even manta rays or dugongs on occasions. Your experienced guides will be right beside you in the water for your comfort and safety.  As you explore the reef, a spotter plane will be searching for the first whale sharks cruising nearby. Once spotted, get up close and personal with the mighty fish that can grow to between 4 and 12 meters long. A professional photographer will be on board to capture every moment and provide you with a captivating souvenir at no extra charge.  Enjoy a complimentary lunch as you continue on your way, looking for manta rays, dugongs and even humpback whales in season. Stop for another snorkel session, or make use of the kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to experience the water from a different perspective. Then, kick back in a cargo net and get a refreshing tow through the shallow waters of the Ningaloo Lagoon. Enjoy a glass of sparkling wine and a seasonal fruit platter while the catamaran meanders its way back to the mainland, from where you will be dropped off at your accommodation.
