We are Live Ningaloo; the only small-scale, single swimming group tour operator on the Ningaloo Reef. In 2023 we were awarded Gold in the Ecotourism category at the Western Australia Tourism Awards, totalling three consecutive years. We additionally earned a coveted place in the Western Australia Tourism Hall of Fame, and two additional Gold accolades at the Australian Tourism Awards. We are firm
believers in our mission; we want to reclaim time in a meaningful way and give people the space to feel something. We give guests the best opportunity to create authentic, life-changing experiences that challenges them to grow. Live Ningaloo was born from a desire to break away from the crowd. Co-founders Murray and Sonia identified a gap in the market during Murray's tenure as a fishing guide at Sal Salis Ningaloo tented camp. They dared to swim against the tide, creating a tour company focused solely on small-scale, single swimming groups. At Live Ningaloo, we believe in quality over quantity, and our ultimate vision is to leave people, place, and the wild better than how we found it. Check out our website liveningaloo.com.au for live availability and bookings.
We can't get enough of these contrasting colours! August has really delivered on the Ningaloo, and we can't wait to see what's in store for September. Are you booked in for the day of your dreams yet? 💭💙✨

An incredible experience was had on Saturday - we had oodles of Manta Rays join us on the outer reef! These gentle giants are completely harmless to humans, feeding on krill and plankton. They also have the largest brain to body ratio of any cold-blooded fish, and are so intelligent they have passed a test where it's possible they can recognise their own reflection in a mirror! 😱 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead
Another spectacular week of Life on Ningaloo! Did you come out with us this week? What was your highlight? ✨ 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead

'Twas the first day of August, and the Ningaloo was buzzing!

Thanks for joining us, we loved hearing your travel stories 😍
So it seems August has showed us what we're in store for! Pure magic! ✨ Seats are selling fast for Aug - Oct, run don't walk! 🏃♀️ 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead

Although there's so much beauty in the reef and we are a marine-based experience, we can't overlook the Cape Range National Park which provides the spectacular backdrop to our daily tours. This breathtaking landscape formed by the gradual uplift of the sea floor has shaped over time by changing sea levels, wind, and water erosion. It's home to many loved walking trails, including Yardie Creek and Mandu Mandu, just waiting for you to explore. 🌞 📸 Live Ningaloo, Justin Bumpstead + Christopher Jansen

Seats are selling quickly, so don't leave it until the last minute to plan your ocean adventure with us. 🌊🛥 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead
It's the time of the year again! Over the last month we've been lucky enough to have sighted Orcas as make their way to the Ningaloo region in pursuit of prey during Humpback Whale season. FACT: Did you know that Orca's have a similar lifespan to humans, and can live up to 90 years of age? 🌊😍 📸 Live Ningaloo + Brooke Pyke Photography Justin Bumpstead
Whatta magical moment captured by our photographer Justin this week! This rare sighting of a juvenile Leopard Shark had our crew smitten 😍 The Ningaloo surprises us everyday 🥰 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead
What is 'The Big Three' you ask? Well if you came out with us last Friday you would've got to see first hand! Trina and Chris travelled from Manly Beach in Sydney, and of course they were here for the Whale Sharks, but boy did mother nature deliver - the Big Three to be exact - Whale Sharks, Manta Rays and Humpback Whales! We are so lucky to have such incredible guests on board who love the ocean and all its inhabitants as much as we do, thank you for such a special day 🌊🐋😍 📸 Live Ningaloo + Justin Bumpstead
Whale Sharks may be the main act on the Ningaloo, however Manta Rays are definitely a fan favourite. They are completely harmless to humans, and a true definition of the term 'gentle giant'. Count your lucky stars if you get a swim with one (or maybe a few!) of these elegant beauties whilst on tour with us, it's a moment in time you'll never forget. 😍 📸 Live Ningaloo, Justin Bumpstead + Brooke Pyke Photography

A fun ocean friend fact for you: Did you know that a Dugong's closest land relative is the Elephant? I bet you wouldn't have guessed judging by the size of their snoot. 🐽 We are so lucky to have a large population of these beautiful mammals call the Ningaloo home year-round, and they have an abundance of sea-grass to nibble on - you could say they're in foodie heaven 👅 Come and see if you can spot one on our Life on Ningaloo tour starting 1st August! 📸 Live Ningaloo & Brooke Pyke Photography
