Full Day Experience
The Muiron Islands & Ningaloo Marine Park is an amazing underwater sanctuary, with this tour providing the opportunity for guests to spend the day exploring different snorkel and dive sights accessible by boat only. On the journey out across the beautiful waters, guests should be on the lookout for Bottlenose, Australian Humpback and Common Dolphins, Dugongs, Humpback Whales (during June to November) and Whale Sharks (boat viewing only from March to August).
On sighting the numerous Manta Rays or Turtles in the area, guests will have the opportunity to swim with these amazing creatures while receiving fascinating commentary from the on-board marine biologists. With 300 coral species, 650 different molluscs, and around 500 species of fish in the region, it is a snorkellers delight with popular fish sightings ranging from Parrotfish, Butterflyfish, Angelfish, Damselfish, Cardinalfish, Scissor Tails, Flutemouths Wrasse, to larger fish such as Groper, Coral Trout, Basslets, Cod and Trevally.
“It’s a really accessible site for both snorkellers and divers. You have two unique locations at Muiron Islands. The west side is open to the ocean, and here we are privy to an interesting mixture of both hard and soft corals. The soft coral, in particular, is very beautiful as it’s a mix of bright orange, pink and blue hues. The east side is a little shallower, and although it’s mostly hard coral and sometimes there is less visibility here, we quite often see Green, Loggerhead and Hawksbill Turtles, which guests really enjoy.”Mark Ferguson - Co-founder and Skipper
The Muiron Islands is home to a stunning array of colourful soft corals including Gorgonian Fans, sponges such as Callyspongia, Golf Ball Sponge, Mushroom Leather Coral and different species of tree coral. This tour includes reef snorkels at different sites, equipment, snacks and a buffet lunch. Our qualified Divemasters and Instructors can teach you how to snorkel, even if you have never snorkelled in the open ocean before.

Using Desalination where the Outback meets the Reef
All of the vessels operated by Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo utilise desalination systems that convert seawater into freshwater. This is required for numerous functions, from drinking water and food preparation, to deck and exterior washdowns. It is estimated that around 300 litres of fresh water is saved per day utilising this technology, adding up to 60,000 litres per year.
Developing Partnerships To Meet Sustainability Goals
Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo have developed a number of partnerships with key environmental organisations within the Exmouth region, Western Australia and Australia, including Mission Deep Blue, Longitude 181 Nature, Project Manta, Wildbook for Whale Sharks, Centre for Whale Research Western Australia, Australian Parks & Wildlife Marine Research, Department of Biodiversity, Conservation & Attractions.
