Ningaloo Part II: Cape Range NP

A good friend told us Ningaloo is her favourite place in Australia and that’s how it has felt over the last week.

Camping at Osprey Bay in Cape Range National Park for part II of our visit, we started each day with a pre-breakfast swim, snorkelling with the beautiful local turtles and a range of colourful fish.

We explored the recommended snorkelling spots (Turqouise Bay, Lakeside and Oyster stacks), all diverse and beautiful in their own right and also enjoyed a boat day trip out to Muiron Islands, just north of Ningaloo Reef, where the corals were softer and even more colourful.

Apart from the turtles, which we couldn’t get enough of, the snorkelling highlights for us were reef sharks (3 of them!), giant sting rays, blue spotted rays, mosaics of colourful coral gardens, catfish, cuttlefish, giant emperor fish and brightly coloured parrot fish.Baca lagi
