DESTINATION: Exmouth
Exmouth was established on the North West Cape in 1967, primarily as a US Naval Communications Station that has since ceased operating. Ecotours are well rewarded as the town's proximity to Ningaloo Reef, protected within Ningaloo Marine Park and Cape Range NP guarantees sightings of some extraordinary marine life. Main AttractionsExcellent tours include glass-bottom, coral-viewing boat cruises, fishing charters, safaris, diving and sea kayaking. Inquire about turtle nesting (Nov-Jan), humpback whale watching (August-Nov) and swimming with the whale sharks (April-June). |
