Wonderful experience - You need to be quite fit as the kayaking is against a current one way and when you get to the reef you need to get in and out of the kayak. The snorkelling is like being in an aquarium and the water is warm so that you can spend a long time in the water. It was a magic trip.

Must-go experience if interested in kayak - The tour was fun. Staff were very helpful in guiding us how to kayak at the start, and they provided all kind of things that you may need, including dry bags, hats, sunglasses, in addition to common snorkelling equipments. Amazing service :)

Good fun - Really great tour for those that enjoy kayaking and snorkeling. Basically kayak 1km (30 min) straight off the beach to a shallow sandy area near a fantastic snorkeling spot which our small group then enjoyed for the next 45-60 minutes. The two guides were excellent & really helped us on the way back when I struggled with the demands of kayaking and the breeze picked up. Thanks for a fantastic morning.

Don't over think this one. Just do it! - Great guide. Very knowledgeable, thorough and safety conscious. Saw a turtle on the paddle out. We were about 800m out from the shore but the spot where we anchored was quite shallow (waist deep) which made getting in and out of the kayaks easy. Lots of fish in the water. Viz about 10 metres. I normally kayak and snorkel by myself but it was nice to be in this nice group of people. We had an 80 yo lady with us. She could paddle as good as any of us and our guide made sure she was looked after when it came time to snorkel!

An eventful, fantastic Whale Shark Adventure Tour with a very nice and helpful team. - We have booked a Whale Shark Adventure Tour for a whole day. The tour was fantastic, firstly we were able to snorkel with the whale shark, which is an experience in itself. But we also went snorkeling in the water a few other times, where we saw beautiful corals with lots of different fish including sharks and boxfish and even turtles. Our captain also discovered a manta ray, which we were able to dive with for quite some time. Last but not least, the captain showed us humpback whales and a large green turtle. The team was very nice and very attentive and immediately helped anyone who had any problems. We can only recommend the tour to everyone.

Amazing experience with Exmouth Adventure Co - We had a fantastic time with our tour guides Neil and Nari. There were two guides so that we could split into small groups (maximum of 8). Nari looked after everyone in the group well and made sure that everyone had a really good time and knew how to kayak and snorkel. She was absolutely brilliant in pointing out all the sea creatures - we saw so many turtles (both from the kayaks and while we were snorkelling). We also saw a sting ray. Having a guide enabled us to get the most out of our snorkelling experience. Great afternoon tea was included and there were also lots of great photos from our trip included. I would 100% recommend this tour and company. It was our favourite thing that we did in Exmouth.

Great half day tour on a perfect Ningaloo day. - Great day out on Ningaloo reef. Neil and Liz brought lots of energy, information and fun to the tour. The kayaking was pretty cruisy to Tulki beach and there were turtles everywhere. The snorkel at Lakeside was great, even swam with a green turtle. Kudos to Exmouth Adventure co as they provided a delicious snack in reusable containers. Very eco!! Thanks to Neil and Loz.
