Kakadu & Ningaloo Safari
Experience the wilderness at Sal Salis, where the outback meets the reef on Western Australia’s Ninagaloo Coast. Explore the Ningaloo Reef in the Cape Range National Park and enjoy an array of water and land activities. Swim with Whale Sharks between March and August - a once in a lifetime experience!
Immerse yourself in an extraordinary bush experience on the coastal floodplains of Australia's Top End. A profusion of bird and wildlife are at the doorstep of this unique safari lodge located on the edge of Kakadu National Park, a region of exceptional natural beauty and unique biodiversity, and one of only a few World Heritage areas listed for both its cultural and its natural values.
Stretching 280 km along Western Australia’s harsh and arid coast, the Ningaloo Reef is an extraordinary yet strangely unknown jewel in Australia’s natural heritage. Here’s where you’ll see the giant whale shark - the world’s largest fish - and turtles that come ashore to lay their eggs in summer. Lying just north of the Tropic of Capricorn the waters are warm for most of the year and the beaches are white and beautifully clean.
Aboard your cruise, a spotter plane will already be in the air, searching for whale sharks as they feed. Throughout the day, the crew will be searching for turtles, rays, dolphins, dugongs and sea birds. Learn about the biology and habitat of the whale sharks and other marine life through a brief presentation. Have the opportunity to get involved with data collection as field workers conduct their vital scientiíc research programs in the World Heritage listed Ningaloo Marine Park. Entering the water, you are surrounded by fish of every size and colour, playful manta rays, and lively turtles. As you take it all in, the largest creature you have ever seen gracefully swims by - a whale shark is welcoming you to her home.
