Amazing interactions and experiences!
Jun 2024 • Couples
Col, Ellie, Naomi, Brit and Alba were excellent with providing information and creating a safe experience for everyone onboard.
They were considerate of everyone’s ability and opportunities to see the whales and ensured everyone had a great time.

The communication and sharing of wildlife knowledge was fascinating along with some great in water interactions.

I have my own boat and spent a number of days out on the reef myself but it was worth paying for a tour and being guided and shown some amazing experiences with the whales in a safe and professional manner underwater!

Greta had such a special day, only her 3rd day snorkeling in the ocean seeing whales, sharks, dugongs, mantas, rays, two species of turtle, dolphins, corals and all the fish!

Keep up the awesome work and making those dreams come true!

Amazing experience, best tour in Coral Bay
Jul 2024 • Couples
We did the Humpback whale swim. Words really can’t describe the feeling. A totally amazing day made so special by a vibrant crew who not only knew their stuff but also were as enthusiastic and excited as the passengers. Col, Ellie, Britt and Alba were all so lovely and knowledgeable. I have done the manta swims with this company before, but my first time for a humpback whale swim. There are lots of whales but choosing the right one to swim with is a challenge and the crew did such a great job of giving everyone the maximum opportunity and enjoy and swim with the whales. We had three separate drops so we all got a great view and the whales were beautiful. We also managed to see and swim with manta rays, reef sharks, turtles and saw three dugongs from the boat. The snorkel spots were amazing, probably the best I’ve snorkelled on the Ningaloo reef. Just a great day, with crew who do everything they can to give guests a good experience. Don’t miss a tour with these guys when in Coral Bay.

Very professional and fun day.
Sep 2024 • Solo
I went on the Manta Ray tour and was amazed. The boat was very well run and in clean, well maintained order. I was lucky enough to be one of 7 on that trip and we all had a wonderful time.
Saw and swam with 8 Manta rays. Saw loggerhead turtle called Albert, humpback Whales very close.
Also had a visit to a young grey reef shark cleaning station where we were able to snorkel and watch the wrasse clean the sharks teeth. Day finished with a snorkel around the coral bommies seeing many wonderful fish.
The captain and two girl crew members worked very hard throughout the day. They shared lots of info on the marine life we saw - Thanks Brett and Naomi.
Food was good. Cake in morning, burger lunch and fruit in afternoon. As much tea and coffee as you wanted and water.
The crew ensured everyone was happy and safe in the water.
I am so glad I went. You get photos and videos of your trip too. Well done all.

Must book tour if you want to experience Ningaloo!
Aug 2024 • Family
We had an absolute ripper time out on the water with the Ningaloo Marine Interaction crew. The marine life we saw was spectacular. My partner and I really appreciated the crew's kind interactions with our daughter. She had a great day as an observer on board and enjoyed the staff making the effort to show her the marine life from the boat. Highly recommend this tour to explore the best of Ningaloo reef. Cheers again to the crew for the great day - Highlight of our road trip!

Trip highlight!
Dec 2023 • Family
We had an amazing trip! The crew went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience - swimming with manta rays, turtles, tiger and reef sharks in the crystal clear water, and the coral was next level - even the dolphins popped by to say hi! We highly recommend going with Marine Interactions.

Once in a lifetime experience on the Ningaloo Reef
Dec 2023 • Couples
Frazer and Britt took us on a journey of a lifetime along the Ningaloo reef. We came during a quiet period, and despite only having a few other passengers, Frazer still generously proceeded with the tour.
The tour itself is perfectly organised.. a bus ride to the boat from town, a well equipped vessel including morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea (and bottomless tea, coffee and cordial), and extremely knowledgeable staff.
You can tell Frazer and his crew are passionate about what they do, and their knowledge of the flora and fauna that populate the reef is second to none!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day, and after seeing the number of other companies operating from Coral Bay, we are so pleased we picked Ningaloo Marine Interactions.

Disappointed and very unhappy
Oct 2022
We are a mid 60s couple with very little snorkelling experience which we advised before booking. We were not told that you need to swim far from the boat and the water was very cold and choppy. This experience was more for intermediate or advanced swimmers. We were also not provided with the opportunity to get used to the water and find our paddling feet which is something we were advised prior and expected. Instead we felt obliged to decline the snorkelling activity. This was a waste of a day for us and feel very disappointed, ripped off and misled. We think they needed us to make up the numbers without consideration for our abilities or enjoyment.

Wow.. just wow
Oct 2023 • Solo
This was one of those days that i will remember for all of my life..
The first stop was a nice coral garden with a snorkel through to deeper waters where we saw a reef shark and a couple turtles.. next stop was to snorkel with mantas… we saw so many and one of them somersaulted under me for what seemed ages..another big wow moment..
In between the next snorkel we saw lots of green turtles poking their heads up from the water, info pacific dolphins ..and then we stopped as we saw a tiger shark..
5 minutes later I was in the water following the tiger..for what seemed like a couple minutes.. wow..just wow..!!!
The last snorkel had some lovely coral, and lots of different small fish… and then it was back to the boat ramp and a 10 min bus back to coral bay..
What a day, and the two girls and captain certainly knew their stuff, and were also chatty and helpful..
What a fantastic day..

A highlight of our visit to Ningaloo
Sep 2023 • Family
As a family group of five adults (20s to 60s) we had a wonderful day out on the Utopia with skipper Frazer and a prefessional and well organised group of crew/snorkeling guides who were all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The boat is not a large vessel, so the experience is quite intimate, and we travelled all around the lagoon looking for (and finding) all sorts of wonderful wildlife. Lunch was delicious hamburgers (meat or veggie). Of course, swimming with the manta rays was very, very special. There was a lovely low key approach that clearly respected the area and all its extraordinary wildlife (rather than just as a commodity to be exploited). The website advises bringing whatever is necessary to keep you warm, which is very good advice (although there are little nooks in the boat out of the wind and in the sun that can be used to warm up). A particular thanks to the hard working photographer who provided a wonderful set of memories as part of the tour.

A Must Do When in Coral Bay.
Oct 2023 • Couples
We had the best day. Spectacular views of Coral Bay & surrounds. There were so many snorkelling opportunities & we saw an abundance of marine life on our trip, manta ray, tiger shark, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles 1000’s of fish and also the incredible Ningaloo Reef. Our crew, Fraser, Naomi & Brittany were sensational, very professional & shared their wealth of knowledge with us all throughout the day. The hamburgers we had for lunch were delicious too. I highly recommend Ningaloo Marine Interactions. Thank for such a memorable day. John & Michelle
