Coral on Ninggaloo ReefSituated on the Indian Ocean between Exmouth and Carnarvon, the Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef is set amongst the dunes between the Mandu Sanctuary of Ningaloo Marine Park and the gorges of Cape Range National Park.  It is a timeless place where people have come to revel in nature for over 30,000 years.  Swim off secluded sandy beaches and discover amazing marine life swimming amongst the beautiful coral gardens that begin just metres from shore.  Sea kayak to deserted beaches where the only footsteps will be your own, or venture offshore to the 'Blue Lagoon' an incredible natural aquarium buzzing with marine life.   At the Ningaloo Reef Retreat you can do as much or as little as you like. Relax at camp with a book or take an energetic hike to the top of Mandu Mandu Gorge. Either way you'll be rewarded with breathtaking scenery, native wildlife and distant horizons.
