Our 3-night getaway departing October 13th marked the penultimate tour of our 2025 season, and it was a beautifully serene trip shared with a lovely small group of just six guests. We were spoiled by beautiful weather, stunning skies, and crystal-clear waters, making for perfect sailing and exploring conditions.
The reef delivered its usual magic of graceful turtles, sleek reef sharks and coral gardens alive with abundant schools of vibrant fish. We also spotted a variety of rays sweeping across the sand. This trip was a perfect reminder of the simple, consistent beauty and peaceful charm of the Ningaloo Reef as our season winds down.

Our 3-night Ningaloo adventure departing October 7th was dominated by one absolutely epic highlight: mantas! We witnessed an unforgettable underwater spectacle, starting with the graceful mantas dancing a waltz that quickly intensified into a dramatic frenzy of a mating chain—a truly rare and thrilling sight.
This extraordinary event was complemented by Ningaloo’s staple characters: sleek reef sharks, camouflaged wobbegongs, peaceful turtles, and a colourful cast of fish including convict surgeonfish, monocle bream, angelfish, butterflyfish, and trevally. We also spotted a curious octopus, and much more! This getaway was a condensed dose of pure Ningaloo magic.

Our 5-night Ningaloo escape departing October 2nd was a spectacular showcase of reef life!
We explored vibrant sites teeming with marine diversity, encountering countless stingrays gliding across the sand. The shark life was strong, even coming eye to eye with a sleek tawny nurse shark in the shallows. The reef pulsed with schooling fish like massive buffalo bream and speedy trevally, while the bottom held fascinating creatures like catfish, spikey lionfish, and secretive moray eels.
Our night dive delivered a truly special moment: a vibrant Spanish Dancer showed off its dramatic, flamenco-like moves in the darkness.
The absolute highlight of the entire trip was the truly magical experience of swimming along with four majestic mantas at once! It was a breathtaking, unforgettable moment shared by all.

We spent our days navigating the turquoise seas, often accompanied by playful dolphins riding our bow. Underwater, the trip was dominated by rays of all sizes, gliding gracefully across the sand.

Our 5-night Ningaloo escape departing September 10th was a fantastic mix of land and ocean adventures! We were spoiled with stunning orange skies, endless blue waters and the marine life was abundant and diverse.
The reef was alive with activity, with blooms of fish everywhere we looked, along with sleepy, chilled-out turtles, playful octopuses, fascinating moray eels and with encounters including sleek reef sharks, graceful tawny nurse sharks, and camouflaged wobbegongs. Some overcast weather at the end of the trip didn`t dampen our spirits, we still made the most of every moment, proving that the magic of Ningaloo shines through no matter the conditions!

✨ Today is World Manta Day ✨
Ever wondered what a manta mating chain is?
These incredible spectacles happen when multiple male manta rays line up and follow a single female in a breathtaking underwater “dance.” Each male is competing for the chance to mate, mirroring her every twist and turn in a beautiful display of power, grace, and persistence.
Witnessing a manta mating chain is extremely rare – and here on the Ningaloo Reef, we’re privileged to experience these magical moments in the wild. 💙 Coral Bay, where we depart from, is also home to one of only two resident manta ray populations in all of Australia, making these encounters even more special.
From giant mantas gliding effortlessly above the reef to pods of playful dolphins and migrating humpbacks, every trip with Sail Ningaloo is filled with once-in-a-lifetime encounters.
📩 Limited spaces remain this season — and 2025 is already booking quickly. Don’t miss your chance to join us on the only overnight sailing liveaboard on the Ningaloo Reef.

✨ “Our time on Shore Thing was truly the journey of a lifetime.” ✨
From booking to disembarking, everything about our experience was perfection. Ningaloo is a magical place and the crew ensured we got to experience the magic! 🌊🐠
Traveling from place to place doubled as whale watching 🐋, we had beautiful views for our meals 🍽️, and every single water activity demonstrated the beauty Ningaloo has to offer.
We saw the most gorgeous fish, coral, turtles, rays, mantas, sharks, a dugong that decided to check us out 🐢🦈🦋 and so much more. The time went by way too fast and we cannot wait to come back some day. 💙
The crew was also one of the highlights of our experience. Dom, Libby, and Josh are clearly so passionate about their job and the reef. 🌟 They were a special group of people and we are filled with gratitude for all the work they did to make sure we had the best possible experience! 🙌

Our 5-night Ningaloo escape departing August 27th was an absolute showcase of marine life! Whatever fish you can think of, we saw it this trip. The reef was teeming with schools of trevally, buffalo bream, batfish, and quirky pufferfish, alongside countless others.
We were also lucky enough to have serene encounters with both green and loggerhead turtles, while reef sharks, wobbegong and tawny nurse sharks were caught taking litle naps under ledges.
The ray sightings were incredible, including a stunning porcupine ray and graceful lagoon rays. Above and below the surface, the magic continued with whales and mantas putting on a show.
The absolute highlight of the entire trip, however, was spotting the tiniest seahorse, smaller than an adult`s little finger. It was a truly special reminder of the incredible diversity and hidden treasures of the Ningaloo Reef!
