About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Connector5850760 contributionsFantastic tour!Excellent tour, and we were well looked after by Rosie. Everything we needed was provided, including a prescription mask which was a huge help to my partner - we hadn’t thought to ask, but Rosie came up trumps! The kayaking was more straightforward than anticipated, which was a relief as we were both inexperienced. Likewise the snorkelling. Rosie was great at keeping us informed about what we were seeing, and pointing out things to look at. We stopped for a brief snack/drink before returning along the mangroves, spotting lots of turtles and rays. This trip surpassed our expectations and was thoroughly enjoyable!Written 30 November 2024
- nathalievanyp0 contributionsHighly recommendedExcellent program given by Jules. We saw amazing fish, turtles and shark during our snorkeling experience. The guiding tour was interesting, fun and very nice. Jules is very knowlegdable and could give us a lot of explanations and answers to our question. And the food was delicious ! Highly recommendedWritten 15 November 2024
- Daydream3063200 contributionsA fantastic experience!A truly inspirational day; Jules was knowledgeable, patient and good fun (his lunch was delicious too!) We saw loads of wildlife and the drift snorkel was amazing-I felt safe at all times and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Would absolutely recommend this tour!Written 14 November 2024
- uter6740 contributionsGreat experience!Awesome day! Worthwhile the money. Jules, our guide was kind, competent and committed to his job. He was there when help was needed. He pointed out amazing sights on land and in the sea. Well organized trip. We would go again if we were there. Thank you!Written 3 November 2024
- Voyager5521560 contributionsNingaloo in a DayWe had a great day hiking, snorkeling, turtle spotting and whale watching from the lighthouse. Our host (Jules) was knowledgeable and made it a very enjoyable day.Written 14 October 2024
- 55476lilym0 contributions10/10Tour was great! Small group so it was very easy to accommodate everyone. Our tour guide Jules was amazing! He was very personal, patient and informative. He knew so much about the area. Our tour lasted from 7am-3pm. We even had extra time to stop by another beach to spot some turtles in the water. I would recommend this tour and Jules to others! Our favorite part of the tour was the snorkel. Visibility was great and there was lots to see despite being close to shore. Water was a little choppy but Jules provided pool noodles/ life jackets and wet suits to those who needed them.Written 14 October 2024
- nickis7140 contributionsJust breathtakingly arm pitchingly stunning 🤩Absolutely incredible! Neri was so informative from the van ride to heading back into town. Safety and training of the kayaks was thorough and the snorkelling was amazing! Making memories!Written 23 September 2024
- B7968VKjoc0 contributionsFantastic 3 day kayaking/camping tripWe had the most fantastic trip last week, kayaking during the day and camping on the beach each night. I was initially very nervous about the kayaking and the logistics of taking all our gear, keeping it dry etc. But it soon became very easy. Neri, our guide, was absolutely brilliant. She is extremely experienced, put us all at ease, kept us safe and happy, was very knowledgable and accommodating, cooked us delicious meals and worked extremely hard day and night to make it all run smoothly and seamlessly. We had a wonderful time and are very grateful.Written 15 September 2024
- VivaMH0 contributions5 Day Ultimate Safari - perfect for exploring NingalooI cant think of a better way to explore Ningaloo Reef, than the 5 Day Ultimate Safari - sea kayaking, snorkelling, gorge hikes and staying at a very comfortable base camp. It was very well-organised and we had fantastic guides who ensured we had a perfect experience seeing the best of the reef and gorges, were comfortable and safe and always well-feed! Highly recommended.Written 13 September 2024
- Aussieanya0 contributionsFantastic way to experience Ningaloo reef on a kayaking, snorkeling and camping trip.Fantastic Ningaloo kayak and snorkel experience. We traveled as a group of friends doing the 3 day 2 night kayak trip with Exmouth Adventure Company. It was fabulous. We kayaked the amazing clear waters of Ningaloo reef and snorkelled at multiple beautiful spots including a couple of marine sanctuaries packed with fish. We camped closed to the water and woke every morning to breakfast overlooking the water. Our guide Neri was amazing. She was knowledgable, friendly and a great cook. Her passion for the area really increased our enjoyment. I can’t recommend this trip highly enough as a way to experience this beautiful area.Written 13 September 2024

We had superb snorkelling , kayaking and hiking with an excellent guide , Rosie and volunteer Jules . And at the end of the day we had a delicious cooked dinner . Well done to all .Written 8 September 2024
- 708natashad0 contributionsEpic sea safari adventureAn incredible adventure & ticked all the boxes. A great mix of camping, kayaking, snorkelling & hiking. Our guide was super experienced, tents were comfy & we were well fed with delicious food. Will miss those sundowner cheese platters.Written 6 September 2024
- colleen_bernie0 contributionsA fantastic day.This tour is aptly named. Our tour guide Los ensured that it exceeded our expectations, with her knowledge and personality. The snorkelling experience was better than our experience from a boat.Written 4 September 2024
- cindyc7560 contributionsJust perfectWe had the most fabulous day out with Rosie our guide and a lovely couple from Italy. Rosie picked us up and made us feel very welcome as we set off for Yardie Creek with our pre ordered drinks (much appreciated so early in the morning!) The walk was very peaceful and we saw lots of Rock wallabies just doing their thing. Turquoise Bay wasn’t far away and the colours of the sand, sea and sky were visually stunning. We kitted up with wetsuits (yikes!!) face masks and snorkels and entered the water for our briefing. I hadn’t snorkelled before but Rosie was so helpful and reassuring. She towed me so that I could concentrate on the underwater world below me and I was overwhelmed by sights of the marine life, coral and turtles. Morning tea and lunch were great as were the other stops. Rosie has so much local knowledge to share and she is passionate about this beautiful area of Western Australia. Thanks for an amazing experience.Written 25 August 2024
- leoniep3890 contributionsA great way to experience Ningaloo Reef, without the crowds On a 3-Day Sea Kayak, Snorkel and Beach Camp Tour.We enjoyed every moment of this exceptional tour. Our guide, Rob, shared his knowledge on the history of the region, packing/paddling kayaks, snorkelling tips as well as preparing delicious and hearty meals. The gear provided, including kayaks, wet suits, snorkelling gear, tents, sleeping bags, chairs, eating utensils etc were of a high quality. Rob took lots of underwater and general photos of our group, which he shared at the end of the tour.Written 25 August 2024

We had a fantastic time with our tour guides Neil and Nari. There were two guides so that we could split into small groups (maximum of 8). Nari looked after everyone in the group well and made sure that everyone had a really good time and knew how to kayak and snorkel. She was absolutely brilliant in pointing out all the sea creatures - we saw so many turtles (both from the kayaks and while we were snorkelling). We also saw a sting ray. Having a guide enabled us to get the most out of our snorkelling experience. Great afternoon tea was included and there were also lots of great photos from our trip included. I would 100% recommend this tour and company. It was our favourite thing that we did in Exmouth.

Great group of strangers all got on well, couldn’t recommend it more nightly - loved loved loved- our ages ranged from 14, 54 & 72 & all doable. Can I come back?

Great guide. Very knowledgeable, thorough and safety conscious. Saw a turtle on the paddle out. We were about 800m out from the shore but the spot where we anchored was quite shallow (waist deep) which made getting in and out of the kayaks easy. Lots of fish in the water. Viz about 10 metres. I normally kayak and snorkel by myself but it was nice to be in this nice group of people. We had an 80 yo lady with us. She could paddle as good as any of us and our guide made sure she was looked after when it came time to snorkel!

Wondeful Kaylee (or should it be Ceildha?) was our tour guide for this tour. She was genuinely friendly and helpful. After a short kayak out to the mooring post we snorkelled above the coral bombies. My husband, who is a very weak swimmer, had pre-decided to stay put on the kayak, but with Kaylee's gentle confidence he jumped out of the kayak, with life jacket and holding on to Kaylee's float, to snorkel too. He loved it! In fact, one of the highlights of our holiday for him! We had a lovely time! Laid back and friendly, with a bit of interesting sea life information thrown in.

Great day out on Ningaloo reef. Neil and Liz brought lots of energy, information and fun to the tour. The kayaking was pretty cruisy to Tulki beach and there were turtles everywhere. The snorkel at Lakeside was great, even swam with a green turtle. Kudos to Exmouth Adventure co as they provided a delicious snack in reusable containers. Very eco!!
Thanks to Neil and Loz.

Really great tour for those that enjoy kayaking and snorkeling. Basically kayak 1km (30 min) straight off the beach to a shallow sandy area near a fantastic snorkeling spot which our small group then enjoyed for the next 45-60 minutes. The two guides were excellent & really helped us on the way back when I struggled with the demands of kayaking and the breeze picked up. Thanks for a fantastic morning.

We did the Coral by Kayak tour in early October had had a fabulous time. Couldn't fault any aspect of the service provided by Exmouth Adventure Co. The guides were great - friendly, knowledgeable, professional and with a strong focus on safety and enjoyment. We had four kids with us, ranging from 11-14, in choppy, windy conditions and they did a great job looking after them (including helping my 11 year old who was having trouble with his mask, and our 12 year old with special needs). And the snacks were healthy and yummy. We would definitely book with them again.

Such an amazing, fun experience! I went with two of my friends and we were in a group of 7 people. The weather was perfect and not windy at all. Neri was the tour guide and she was informative and very friendly. My friends and I are beginners in terms of kayaking experience and we had no snorkelling experience. Neri made us feel extremely safe and comfortable. It was absolutely breathtaking being so close to the turtles and seeing their natural habitat. I definitely recommend this tour! I would 100% do this again.

What a great review! Thank you so much for sharing your experience on the 'Coral by Kayak' tour. It's so magic being able to explore the reef by kayak, and like you say, seeing these animals in their natural habitat is just something else. I'm really glad you had such a fantastic time with Neri and that you had your first snorkelling experience here. We look forward to welcoming you back on a tour when you're next visiting Exmouth.

Thank you for your review and we are glad that you have enjoyed the tour. We are sorry to hear though that you expected another snorkel. We only advertise 1 snorkel as part of the Coral By Kayak Tour on our homepage, so we are unsure where the misunderstanding has come from. But we are still glad to hear that you had a good time overall.
We wish you all the best and safe travels from the Exmouth Adventure Co Team!

We have booked a Whale Shark Adventure Tour for a whole day. The tour was fantastic, firstly we were able to snorkel with the whale shark, which is an experience in itself. But we also went snorkeling in the water a few other times, where we saw beautiful corals with lots of different fish including sharks and boxfish and even turtles. Our captain also discovered a manta ray, which we were able to dive with for quite some time. Last but not least, the captain showed us humpback whales and a large green turtle. The team was very nice and very attentive and immediately helped anyone who had any problems. We can only recommend the tour to everyone.
