It will not be an exaggeration to state that the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia is one of the last ocean paradises: a serene habitat untouched by advancing modernity. Home to one of the rarest aquatic flora and fauna, the largest near-shore reef runs past exotic beaches, private islands, and green mountain ranges. There is a whole world of adventure and exploration just waiting to be discovered.
The best period to visit this exciting, vibrant coastal paradise is between the months from June to August when the temperature is in the low 20’s °C range.
