About this tour
Paddle a double kayak through Ningaloo's sheltered lagoons on this eight-hour full-day adventure, stopping to snorkel pristine reef sites with a local guide. You'll scan the turquoise shallows for sea turtles, rays, dugong and dolphins while taking in the dramatic contrast between coral gardens and inland ranges. Small groups (maximum eight) mean your guide tailors the day to your pace and interests, leaving the tour-boat crowds behind.
Highlights
- Paddle tandem kayaks across turquoise lagoons at your own rhythm
- Snorkel directly from kayak or sandy entry points with guide support
- Spot sea turtles, rays, dugong (May–July) and dolphin schools
- Explore UNESCO World Heritage reef and range landscape
- Morning tea, lunch and all equipment supplied
What to expect
You'll launch from the beach into calm, clear water and paddle at a moderate pace, with snorkel breaks at reefs selected by your guide. Expect three to four hours of paddling broken into manageable stretches, with time to float and observe marine life both from the kayak and underwater. The guides read conditions and guest fitness to adjust stops and intensity. You'll need reasonable fitness—this isn't casual paddling—and comfort with being on water. Morning tea arrives early; lunch is packed into your kayak.
