Wow what an awesome day we had yesterday out on a snorkeling tour with the manta rays. We were lucky enough to see about 10 different rays, turtles, reef sharks and of course lots of colourful fish and spectacular coral. A must do, we highly recommend doing this.

CORAL BAY 🤿🐢🌊🐠🐬☀️ One word for our time in this amazing place- EPIC!! Not only did we get to catch up with friends whilst in Coral Bay (and have an awesome time), we got to do something truly amazing that we will never forget; swim & snorkel in the open ocean with majestic, giant manta ray, as well as turtles, beautiful fish, coral and dolphins! Aria was so brave joining us in the water; we’re so proud of her for achieving this! Aston attempted it, but it was just too cold & scary for him. Snorkelling at the beach was also fantastic, even more so because I got to experience it with breezakeats 🙌🏻 📷 Daniel Nicholson (oceancollectivemedia) #coralbay #coralbaywa #ningaloo #ningalooreef #ningaloocoralbay #ningaloocoralbayboats #swimwithmantas #swimwithmantarays #mantaray #snorkelling #coral #turtles #fish #dolphins #tawk #mwcac #travelaustralia #travelwithkids #campingaustralia #campingwithkids #exploreaustralia #halflap #halflapofoz #westernaustralia #westcoast #unforgettable

Day 100 - Ningaloo Coral Bay Manta Ray Tour. Another incredible day on Ningaloo reef. Swimming with manta rays-amazing! We started with 1 and then 2 and then there was 6 , they swam around us for so long it was just incredible! Beautiful clear water, a bit chilly today but it was well worth it. WA is still delivering the goods!

wow... what a long journey... due to a brakedown of a bus i had to stay one more night at the hostel, i mean yeah... there could be worse places to be stucked honestly than #coralbay🤣 but #integritycoachlines for me is not very reliable and there is nothing of goodwill for such a situation from them... pretty poor and maybe the reason why the westcoast is not yet so travelled and hast still not so many tourists because if the coaches are so unreliable, travelling with limited time gets really difficult... however Jacinta and Dania from the hostel turned the situation into something amazing in offering a FREE night for me 😍😘 thanks again to #ningaloocoralbaybackpackers ... you made my day 😍 and now a long jouney has startet that cost me my Broome and Darwin stay... so heading directly to #katherine more than 40 hours... and to mention it: the busdrivers were awesome and nice but i would not recommend #integritycoach too much if there is any alternative left ... but hey: always look on the bright side of life 😍

Day eight: Coral Bay. Manta ray tour was amazing, love how graceful manta rays are in the water. Swam with a turtle and saw about 10 reef sharks at a cleaning station. Spotted a tiger shark from the boat, and swam with a leopard shark (see above). Incredible day with ningaloocoralbayboats . Thanks emilieunderwaterphotography for the amazing shot! .

October 2019 (when I still had tan 😆) Whole day tour with ningaloocoralbayboats •
I think that day spend on the boat the whole day snorkeling and seeing the massiv Manta rays, is in the top ten days of my life so far 🙈😍. So I’ve you have the chance to do a Tour like that DO IT !! •
TRAVEL TIP •
I booked the tour with the camping ground I was staying on and got 10% off that way. I will always recommend to finde the best deal always check the prices between companies and talk with the people. They want you as a costumer and will usually give you some kind of deal, when they see you are informed what others have to offer. 😉😉😉 #closer2ningaloo #ningalooreef #ningaloo #boattrip #snorkeling #diving #wetlook #visitningaloo #coralbay #westaustralia

We went on a glass bottom boat tour to experience the beautiful south end of the Ningaloo Reef in Coral Bay... so glad we did it! Plenty of info on our tour by boatsningaloocoralbay and the kids got to see the Reef without the ordeal of taking young kids snorkelling.
The 1 hour tour was plenty for us too, for the same reason.. and it was the kids first boat experience!!! They took us out to see the part of the reef that wasn`t dead.
Sadly in March there was poor conditions for the coral spawning and it resulted in a natural fish kill and algae smothering 2km of coral reef, killing the coral in the bay essentially. So if you snorkel just off the beach along Coral Bay at the moment, you will only see brown dead Coral for the most part. The fish are starting to return and eat the algae so new coral can grow with the next spawn. Actually a very rare occurrence and will probably never see it again in our lifetime.

Whale Shark season is on it`s way! If you`ve ever dreamt of swimming with these majestic giants, migrating populations are generally seen in the crystal waters of Ningaloo from March to June.

Just 40mins from Coral Bay Oyster Bridge is an absolute beauty!☀️🏖 Stop in at the coral bay dive shop and purchase a 2 dollar mud map to view the off-road trails. You’ll need a 4x4, air compressor and at least 2 max tracks. Drop them tryres down and you should make it there no worries 🤙

Long run ✔ .
I may have had to do a few Laps to the boat ramp and back x 3, plus up and down the foreshore a few times 😂 but it was a nice mix of road and sandy trails - but it was so good to get the long run done ✔ . .

#holidayinwa day 5! This morning we all went out on a glass bottom boat with #ningaloocoralbayboats. I can even explain how amazing it was, the glass floor was great so Claire could see all the fish. Matt and I both went snorkeling as well and what you see Is just so amazing. If you are heading to coral bay I can’t recommend doing this enough, such an incredible experience.
Hopefully we will get some of the go pro footage from the reef up shortly along with the drone footage. We are just editing them at the moment.
After the boat trip when then drove the 2hr trip to Exmouth. Being here is just the relaxed life you would want to live.
We had an amazing lunch at #frothcraft and then settled into our amazing accommodation which I will show you all tomorrow.

When you are in the wild, you can`t predict what you will see. So when you finally see what you are hoping for, the surprise is always magical.
I`ve already had the chance to see Manta Ray in Fiji, and I had the chance to see them an other time in Australia and it still magical ! But this time, thanks to coralbayeco I`ve got my picture with it 😁

The little yellow fish is a golden trevally, that followed me for 15 minutes until I had to get back on the boat. It`s a pilot fish, that used me for protection and tried to get into my wetsuit. I named him Peter. Farewell little Peter👋🏼

Yes I cheated and took a noodle out snorkelling. But so glad I did, Manta rays swim fast Chasing them was hard work!
A nice thicccc veggie burger hits different after a day at the beach. The ultimate holiday feast 🍔🌊☀️🌈
Manta Ray magic in the heart of the Ningaloo Reef - Coral Bay ✨
My favourite time of year for Manta Rays on the Ningaloo is winter.
Despite year round Manta interactions being a great - with nature it is mostly a lottery. Winter tends to provide a higher rate of Manta Ray ‘mating chains’.
A mating chain is when the female is chased and courted tirelessly by any given number of males hoping to mate with her.
What an experience to witness first hand for myself and all out on tour with boatsningaloocoralbay.
The female in this mating chain is the Melanistic (black) ray at the centre of the image, she was easily 4 metres wide!
Her experience in this situation was evident, as she dodged and weaved in between the customers and I. Displaying incredible spatial awareness and trust in our lack of threat toward her.
Magic!

They were both sooo well behaved for a pub lunch. billscoralbay have these kids packs which kept Piper entertained for a while and Tate just loves to be apart of it all (awww) 😙 #betson #dadwon #wherestate #billscoralbay #parentsdayout #parentlife #thesepoorkids
It just keeps getting better and better! Up close and personal interaction with this big beauty! 🌊 I loved snorkelling so much that steveclarence surprised me with another tour swimming with Mantas! ✨
We also extended our time because we love Coral Bay so much 💙
Manta courtship dance. This beautiful male and female manta ray were dancing around together for so long on today’s tour! Such a magical experience, so much love on the Ningaloo 💙

AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 WA - Coral Bay.
White sands, huge ankle deep lagoons, shark nurseries (apparently a thing), sea turtles, guitar sharks, sting rays, tiger sharks and Manta Rays. All in a day. What an increddible place to visit.

The beginning of the season is just around the corner and these Black tip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) are getting ready and spruced up by cleaner fish, which occur at natural cleaning stations scattered along Ningaloo Reef 🐠 Wonderful 📷 by @oceancollectivemedia

#billscoralbay love a good garden wall!
Time gets so warped on camping holidays, the earliest one of us (me) went to crack a beer was 10:43 and the earliest we (lach) went to bed was 6:37.
Never better than camping on the edge of the ningaloo, bathing in reefy rock pools, watching eagle rays glide past, finding reef shark nurseries and constant glowing coral. I loved Warroora for the isolation it brought along this phenomenal stretch of coastaline.

“Great place, great excursion”
Very nice and satisfying excursion with attentive and knowledgeabel guide Tegan, hard working fotographer Tom and captain sir Scott today. Lucky with the weather as well. One of the best experiences in my life!
