Whalesharks have arrived on the Ningaloo Reef

March 12th, 2010 by Helen

A sighting of two whalesharks off the coastline last weekend has kickstarted the Whaleshark Season off a little early. No one is complaining as this is the highlight of the year for many tourists.

Travelling from waters unknown the gentle giant is present off the Ningaloo Reef coastline from April to June every year. They can often be up to 12m in lenght, with our two first whalesharks reportedly being around 4-5 meters.

May I advise you all to book your whaleshark dives and tours with the operators early as the boats only take so many and we would hate for your to miss out. The Exmouth Visitor Centre will be able to assist www.exmouthwa.com.au

Just a quick reminder that the Whaleshark Festival is on from May 28-30th. There will be lots of activities around town to inform and excite all our guests.

Happy whaleshark spotting!

Give support to the biggest fish in the ocean

Happy Holiday Whalers

January 29th, 2010 by Helen

Just want to wish Liz and Paul (the owners of Whalers) a wonderful holiday in Japan this February.

Whalers Restaurant is our favourite Exmouth eatery at Ningaloo Reef  Holidays. We recommend it to all our guests to have at least one meal there whilst they are holidaying in town.

We thought it important to let you know that Whalers will be closed for the month of February whilst all the staff have a well earned break.

Happy Holiday guys and thanks for a great year or wonderful food and great service!

Aerial Photography on the Coral Coast

November 23rd, 2009 by Helen

 

 

I received this Google alert today and took the opportunity to check out Jamie Patersons Photography. WOW! From Coral Bay to Exmouth the Ningaloo Reef continues to astound.

For any tourist not convinced that this is the best diving and the best reef in Australia, or the world. Check out this aerial photographe on Jamie’s website.

Yes another awesome Ningaloo Reef aerial photograph! This was taken from a Sikorsky S76 helicopter almost directly opposite Exmouth. Christian, Mike, Larry and I had just flown in from the Monte Bellos and we thought we’d seen some …

Skywest Does it Again!

November 13th, 2009 by Helen

What have they done?

Cheap flights to Exmouth. Now you can fly cheaply to Exmouth and have the holiday you want, without the 16 hour drive. Some still like the drive, and I admit to being one of these tortured souls. But if a quick few days in Exmouth on our beautiful Coral Coast is just what you need, then fly.

The cheap flights sell fast. So book now, and I mean it, they sell fast. $160 each way is great value.

Its about time I hear you say. Well yes, for too long it has been a “keen price”, but the masses revolted! Hence our cheap flights.

Thankyou Skywest Airlines for allowing us to holiday on our beautiful Ningaloo Reef coastline.

Great Holiday Planner

June 8th, 2009 by Helen

I have discovered the most fantastic website holiday planner. Full of local information and more website links than you can poke a stick at.

For all our interstate and international guests, I strongly urge you to check out www.touristradio.com.au

When you are driving around this fair state of ours, you will see tourist radio signs posted along the road advertising the radio station to tune to. It will give you all the local ‘what to do’ information.

So no matter where you are travelling to in this great state, make sure you check out the website before you head off and tune into the radio whilst you are driving around.

The Bluebone Story

June 2nd, 2009 by avril

This town is a tourist mecca and a beatiful place but, apart from all that, like any small town it also has its fair share of local characters……

One of these has pindan dust in his veins and goes into withdrawal if removed from the Pilbara for more than 24 hours. He also is a very accomplished fisherman and like any accomplished fisherman has no shortage of fishing stories…..

This is his Bluebone story…

There is a secret spot (if we told you where it is we would have to kill you) where this particular person fishes for bluebone and recently hooked up a monster fish. He was fishing with a light line and determined to bring this fish in, fought and fought for such a long time that by the time he got the fish ashore (it was a 76 cm. monster) he was exhausted and he lay flat on his back in the dirt to recover from the effort, uttering a few expletives at the same time!!

Next thing an American voice said “My Gawd, what a monster fish” it seems an American couple had witnessed the entire battle and this bloke (who is not particularly robust) bringing this huge fish ashore….what a story they will have to relate about their Exmouth experience.
