Travel + Leisure has featured Sal Salis at Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia in a roundup of reasons to visit Australia in winter, making the most of whale activity in quieter months.
“For many travellers, Australia evokes images of endless summers and sun-drenched beaches,” writes Australian travel expert and Travel + Leisure contributor, Stuart Rigg, before revealing his favourite experiences outside peak summer season.
“Australia’s winter, from June through August, can be even more rewarding, particularly in the tropical north, home to many of the country’s most iconic landscapes.”
“For an unforgettable marine encounter, swim alongside whale sharks at Ningaloo—Australia’s ‘other’ great reef—where they gather between late March and August each year. At Sal Salis Ningaloo, stay in safari-style eco-tents nestled in the dunes where the outback reaches the ocean, and stargaze far from urban light pollution.”
Rigg also highlights other “memorable encounters with whales across Australia, including swimming with dwarf minke whales along the Great Barrier Reef from June through July.” Explore the Great Barrier Reef through stays at qualia on Hamilton Island, Lizard Island Resort, Orpheus Island Lodge and Pelorus Private Island.
