🌼 Wildflower Wander, Kondil Park, Nannup – 3.3km – Wander through jarrah, marri, sheoak and balga bushland, slowing down to search the understorey for delicate spider, donkey, greenhood and snail orchids.

🎨 Understory, Art in Nature, Northcliffe – 1.2km – Wildflowers meet art on this unique forest adventure. Keep your eyes peeled for colourful lobelias and fan flowers, along with spider, helmet and midge orchids emerging from the forest floor.

🌺 Harvey Wildflower Ridge Walk – 1.4km – This gently undulating trail winds past granite outcrops with sweeping views across Harvey Dam and towards the coast. Take your time, enjoy the wildflowers and keep watch for a bright blue wren flitting through the undergrowth.

💙 Four trails. One spectacular reef. Countless marine encounters. Paddle into Ningaloo’s underwater world!

Explore the world-renowned Ningaloo Reef, where you paddle straight from the beach across the reef, tie up at designated moorings and jump in for a snorkel among colourful coral and marine life. The Ningaloo Marine Park is home to an extraordinary diversity of marine species, including turtles, manta rays, dolphins, dugongs, and seemingly endless species of fish.

🐟 Coral Bay Kayak Trail – 5 km
With four snorkelling sites between 300 metres and 1.8 km from shore, this trail explores the Maud Sanctuary Zone. Look beneath the clear, shallow water for turtles, resident manta rays, colourful reef fish and vibrant coral.

🐠 Tantabiddi Sanctuary Zone Kayak Trail – 3 km
Paddle around 1.4 km from the boat ramp to two kayak moorings, where the reef can be explored by snorkel. The sites feature coral gardens and shallow reef habitat, with depths of up to 3.5 metres. Expect plenty of reef fish.

🐋 Bundegi Sanctuary Zone Kayak Trail – 7.5 km
The only kayak trail on the Exmouth Gulf side of the Cape, this trail offers the chance to combine reef snorkelling with wildlife watching from the kayak. You may be lucky enough to even see Humpback whales here, particularly during August and September.

🪸 Osprey Sanctuary Zone Kayak Trail – 3.2 km
Paddle across to the inside of the reef and follow the trail to two kayak moorings. Beneath the kayak, the protected reef is home to coral bombies, numerous fish species, turtles and rays.

Before heading out, check the tides, weather and local conditions, and remember that marine wildlife should always be observed respectfully and from a safe distance.
