Ningaloo has a way of stealing hearts and clearing calendars. Do you paddle glassy lagoons? Trek red-rock ridges? Stretch it to five days and do it all? Here’s the quick, no-nonsense comparison so you can pick your flavour of wild.
The contenders
-
3-Day Turquoise Safari — Kayak, Snorkel & Beach Camp
