Ningaloo Reef

Ningaloo Reef on Western Australia’s mid north coast, has gained an impressive reputation as one of Earth’s last ocean paradises. It’s one of the largest fringing reefs in the world and unlike many others, is accessed just by stepping off the beach.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Baiyungu and Jinigudira people, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Sal Salis stands. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge the Baiyungu and Jinigudira people of the Cape Range and their connections to Country.

Ningaloo Reef Destination

Snorkeller's
Paradise

Ningaloo Reef comprises 200 species of hard corals and 50 species of soft corals with over 520 species of fish. During the winter months, the reef is part of the migratory routes for dolphins, dugongs, manta rays and humpback whales. The beaches of the reef are an important breeding ground of the loggerhead, green and hawksbill turtles.
