Sal Salis enjoys a climate often described as Mediterranean, experiencing warm weather throughout the year. From April to June it is cool in the mornings with an offshore breeze and warm during the day. This is the beginning of the season for swimming with whale sharks. Evenings are cool and still. Nights will be cool with warm days from July to September. Humpback whales are regularly sighted offshore, having migrated north from Antarctica to breed in these waters. October to December sees temperatures rise throughout the day, with a cool sea breeze. The humpback whales return south and turtles begin their nesting.

The dress code is smart casual with light clothing most suitable for the summer months. In the cooler months a wind breaker is recommended to protect you against the afternoon breeze.

• Look closely – snorkelling amongst the staghorn and bommie corals you can sometimes find soft corals housing anemone fish, cleverly camouflaged octopus and colourful nudibranchs. 
• Watch for turtle heads bobbing up to the surface and listen as they take in a gasp of air before jetting off again. 
• While Ningaloo Reef may be the main drawcard, Sal Salis also immerses guests in remarkable land-based scenery including the very special Mandu Mandu Gorge with its resident and rare black-footed rock wallabies as well as red kangaroos, wallaroos, fairy wrens, kestrels and zebra finches.
