About this place

Launch your own boat and explore Ningaloo Reef or join one of the many tour operators and swim with whale sharks, humpback whales and manta rays, view corals from a glass bottom boat or go below with a scuba diving company.

Enjoy some of the best snorkelling in the park from the two kayak moorings in Tantabiddi Sanctuary Zone approximately 1.3km from the beach, Staghorns: 21° 54.471'S, 113° 57.983'E; The Bombies: 21° 54.527'S, 113° 57.869'E. Site depth ranges from 1.5m to 3.5m.

It is recommended to snorkel during high tide only as sites can be shallow during low tide.

For more information visit the Milyering Discovery Centre when you get there.

Tantabiddi is adjacent to a recreation zone where recreational fishing is permitted. Fishing is not permitted in the nearby Tantabiddi Sanctuary Zone. Find out more about fishing.
