Sal Salis is perfectly positioned between the Ningaloo Reef and the striking Cape Range National Park, both of which make up the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area. Start your day with a guided hike across this unique landscape, where you can get out on foot and explore a different kind of ecosystem; the Australian bush.

Walk along the top of the spectacular multi-coloured Yardie Creek Gorge, looking out for black-footed rock wallabies, honeyeaters and emus while learning about the formation of the range and the adaptations the flora and fauna have made in order to survive in such an arid environment. At the top of the Gorge are some great photo opportunities with breathtaking views of the creek and out to the ocean.

Nestled two kilometres behind camp is Mandu Mandu Gorge, with its fossil bearing, limestone formations and panoramic, colour spectrum views of the gorge and Ningaloo Reef. A guided hike will provide insights into ancient human habitation and the significance of the traditional custodians of the land, the Baiyungu and Jinigudira people of the Cape Range. Be immersed in a landscape of Acacia trees, spinifex, kurrajong and rock fig.

This interesting ecosystem also supports sturt desert pea, succulents and lemongrass as well as sturt mangrove areas that provide roosting sites for pied cormorants, eastern reef egrets, crested pigeon and gallahs, while the sheltered waters are a sanctuary for many marine animals like shovelnose rays and turtles.
