Planning your Holiday at Ningaloo Coast Marine Park
The worst event that could happen to you is to arrive at Ningaloo with all hotels booked out, all tours booked out and even worse missing the arrival of whalesharks or the spawning of corals. Therefore, it is recommended that you make sure that you have booked your accommodation, tours and most important your travel in and out. The worst thing is to be waiting for a bus ticket or a air service that is not booked out.

One thing which travellers arriving at Ningaloo must not forget is the weather and peak tourism period. Arriving at Ningaloo during cyclonic weather can be quite distressing as many marine activities will be postponed delaying your holidays. Also some people may not like snorkelling in a sea of divers as during peak tourism periods, thousands of people flock to the small stretch of waters at Ningaloo
Peak tourism period Ideal weather period to go to Ningaloo | During the School holidays, Easter, public holidays, Christmas Holidays and the Spring Season. Cyclonic season is usually at its peak during the winter months where precipitation is high, so therefore the ideal period to be travelling to Ningaloo is around Spring to Autumn. Check with Exmouth Major to avoid mass crowds. |
Before travelling to Ningaloo, it is essential that you make sure you have the following in possession or in your knowledge as accidents may always occur.
Sunscreen Diving/ Swimming Gear Map of the local area Telephone numbers | Located in the tropical area of the planet where UV rays are most strong and damaging, it is essential and vital that you have stocks of sunscreen ready at hand to slap on as sunburns are a serious threat to your skin. Ningaloo is perhaps the best place to dive and snorkel in. Therefore please do not forget any diving or swimming gear as stocks are limited at Ningaloo and also expensive. During peak tourism periods, there might be no stock at all! When travelling around Ningaloo, it is essential that you bring a map as the distance between towns is quite far and there are many tracks that leads into deep national parks. Therefore make sure you have the most recent maps that points all the roads so that you would not get lost. While at Ningaloo, it is to your own benefit to have the knowledge of emergency telephone numbers as accidents may occur at any time. These numbers may include the poison centre, SOS, WA emergency services, nearest medical facilities, car trawler, RTA etc. |
