Ultimate Adventure Pass | Page 44

beautiful coral gardens that Ningaloo Reef has to offer. This is a skippered sailing holiday that is fully catered with a menu of freshly prepared healthy meals to ensure that even the most energetic snorkeler has a full and very happy stomach at the end of each meal. Enjoying the evening meal as the sun dips into the Indian Ocean and the Milky Way emerges overhead, body pleasantly tired from a day of adventure and fresh air, all makes for a great sailing holiday! We snorkel and dive amazing sites such as ‘The Lost City’, ‘The Mooch Patch’ and ‘The Green Mile’. The diversity of the habitats, from super shallow coral gardens and fish nurseries to deeper sites highlighted by towering pinnacles of ancient coral structures, is what grabs you. It is matched, if not out weighed, by the diversity of marine life. Over 200 different 44 Ultimate Adventure Pass coral species, and over 500 different species of fish, not to mention the sea turtles, manta rays, dugongs, reef sharks and migratory whales and whale sharks. With water temperatures averaging around 24c, even in the winter, you are barely out of the water before being distracted by more and more marine life. Snorkel up to 4 times per day and see the big five …. Humpback whales, Dugongs, Turtles, Reef Sharks and Manta Rays on a daily basis…. this is just as much a marine safari as it is a luxury sailing holiday. Sitting on the bow watching the sun dip into the Indian Ocean after spending a day exploring the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park: snorkelling, kayaking, fishing or wandering one of the remote beaches is what dream holidays are made of. With the advantage of time Sail Ningaloo explores further than other operators in the Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. This means you can access some of the rarely visited places and have the pleasure of snorkelling shipwrecks and coral gardens with no one else in sight. Your days slip into a routine of sailing, snorkelling, exploring and eating as the world falls away, replaced by sunshine, blue seas and experiences that will create memories to last a lifetime. Sail Ningaloo’s vessel Shore Thing is a beautifully appointed sailing catamaran with ensuite cabins. If you are after a private escape the vessel is available for charter, or you can join one of their scheduled tours of 3, 5 or 9 nights’ duration. Shore Thing also comes equipped with kayaks for those that fancy a paddle, or you can explore the coastal scenery by foot – visiting the historic Norwegian Bay Whaling Station or scaling the windswept dunes for a view right along the Coral Coast and out over Ningaloo Reef. Grab a group of friends, round up the family or slip away for a honeymoon. Your sailing adventure awaits! Sail Ningaloo OUTER EDGE 45
