Ningaloo After Dark | Overnight Reef & Range Escape

Two Days, One Epic View: Cape Range to Ningaloo by Foot

This 2-day, 1-night wilderness loop delivers the perfect taste of Cape Range and Ningaloo—without the full-pack commitment. On foot, trek up into Yardie Creek Gorge and onto the Cape Range terraces to camp high above Ningaloo Reef.

By day two, your boots hit pristine sands before you arrive at the turquoise edge of the reef. Expect panoramic lawns of blue, horizon-folding sunsets, and whale song at camp if the season’s right. It’s short, scenic, and stays true to the wild heart of Western Australia.

INQUIRE ABOUT TOUR

Distance: 7km

Your guides collect you from your Exmouth accommodation and whisk you into the heart of Cape Range National Park. We start the journey tracing the ochre-red cliffs of Yardie Creek Gorge, a haven for the rare Black-flanked Rock Wallaby, wedge-tailed eagles, and ospreys nesting high above.

The track climbs into the upper reaches of the range, revealing sweeping views where rugged land meets the endless blue of Ningaloo Reef. We follow hidden gullies and little-used ridgelines to an exclusive high camp—a remote perch with front-row seats to both the reef and the ranges.

Camp Life:

Once packs are down, it’s time to relax into the rhythm of the outback. As the sun sinks into the Indian Ocean, colours shift from gold to deep rose, and humpback whales sometimes breach offshore. Dinner is hearty and hot, the Milky Way blazes overhead, and the silence wraps around you. This is the kind of night that lingers long after you’ve left.

Distance: 8km

Wake to the first light spilling over the high ridges and the bush coming alive with bird calls. After breakfast with a view, we break camp and descend through fossil-rich limestone terraces shaped by an ancient ocean.

Crossing the coastal plain, we keep a lookout for red kangaroos, euros (common wallaroos), and—if luck’s on our side—short-beaked echidnas foraging among the spinifex.

The reef draws closer until we crest the coastal dunes, where the turquoise lagoon invites you in. Kick off your boots and wade into Ningaloo’s crystal-clear shallows—an unforgettable way to end a trek.

After a final wander along untouched beach, we meet the vehicle for the return to Exmouth—tired, happy, and deeply connected to one of Australia’s most spectacular wild places.

Dinner is served with a sunset, and the night sounds of ocean and wind replace all else.

Where You’ll Be Staying & What You’ll Be Eating

Forget hotels—this journey unfolds under wide skies and rust-red cliffs. Camp is set in hand-picked wilderness locations each night, from high in Cape Range to the white sands of the Ningaloo Coast.

Night 1: Remote inland campsite deep within Cape Range

Night 2: Beachfront camp on the edge of the Indian Ocean

Lightweight tents are supplied for a comfortable night’s sleep, with sleeping mats and bags included. Campsites are off-grid and wild—no facilities, just nature. All gear is carried in, packed out, and set up as a group.

What’s Cooking

Meals are wholesome, hearty, and designed for life on the trail. Think generous portions, real ingredients, and zero-fuss preparation.

Breakfasts are simple and energising—muesli, fruit, hot drinks, and bush-style favourites.

Lunches are served trail-side or at scenic rest spots, with fresh salads, wraps, or grain bowls.

Dinners are nourishing and satisfying—usually one-pot meals prepared together at camp. Expect something warm, spiced, and deeply appreciated after a long day.

Snacks, trail treats, and plenty of tea and coffee are available throughout. Dietary requirements are catered for—just note them at the time of booking.

This is back-to-basics done right. No glamping, no gimmicks—just good food, wild places, and nights you’ll remember.

Seasonal Weather Expectations

Cape Range National Park sits on the doorstep of the Ningaloo Coast, meaning conditions are often dry, sunny, and stunning—but also variable. This is wild country, and it pays to be prepared.

March to May (Autumn):

Expect warm days (25–33°C) and cooler nights (14–20°C). Winds are usually mild and sea conditions favourable for snorkelling. Occasional late-summer storms may roll through early in the season.

June to August (Winter):

Mild trekking weather with daytime temps averaging 22–28°C. Nights can dip below 10°C, especially inland, so pack a warm layer. This is the best season for wildlife spotting—whale sightings, emus, and wildflowers abound.

September to October (Spring):

Hotter, drier days creep in (28–36°C) and evenings stay mild. The land is alive with blooms and the reef still teeming with life. Earlier starts and shaded breaks help manage the heat.

Key Note:

The East–West Traverse is deliberately timed to avoid the extreme heat of summer (Nov–Feb). If the forecast spikes or unexpected weather rolls in, your guide may adjust the itinerary for safety and comfort.

What to Pack

This is a genuine wilderness trek—off-grid, self-supported, and unforgettable. What you bring matters. Your gear should be reliable, lightweight, and suited for three days of carrying everything on your back.

🏕 Essentials:

60–70L hiking pack (good condition, with padded hip belt)
Sleeping bag (rated to at least 5°C)
Inflatable or foam sleeping mat
Compact pillow or stuff sack with clothes inside
Headtorch (with spare batteries)
Reusable water bottles/bladder (3–4L total capacity)
Trekking poles (strongly recommended)
Dry bags or liners to keep your gear protected

👕 Clothing:

Lightweight hiking shirts (long sleeves for sun protection)
Quick-dry hiking pants or shorts
Thermal base layer (top & bottom for cool nights)
Fleece or lightweight puffer jacket
Rain jacket (breathable and packable)
Wide-brim hat + Buff or neck gaiter
Underwear & socks (merino or synthetic preferred)
Swimwear (for dips in the reef)
Sleepwear (warm enough for outdoor camping)

👟 Footwear:

Worn-in hiking boots or trail shoes (no brand-new boots!)
Camp shoes/sandals (lightweight, for beach and evenings)

🧼 Personal Items:

Toothbrush & toothpaste
Small biodegradable soap
Quick-dry travel towel
Personal meds & blister kit
Sunscreen, lip balm, and insect repellent
Toilet paper + small hand sanitiser
Waste bags (Leave No Trace)

📸 Optional But Handy:

Snorkel & mask (optional – some may be provided)
Camera or phone (in waterproof case)
Notebook/journal
Small daypack (foldable, for beach wanders)

Your guide will carry group safety equipment, first aid, maps, and a PLB (personal locator beacon). Shared group gear and food will be evenly distributed among all guests.

Pack thoughtfully. Carry lightly. And get ready to walk where few others do.

Local Insights — Exmouth • Nyinggulu (Ningaloo) • Cape Range (Trek Region)

Travel takes place on the lands and waters of the Baiyungu, Thalanyji and Yinigudira peoples. Culture leads—follow local guidance and respect cultural sites and seasonal closures.

Big-picture snapshot

A desert-meets-ocean corridor where limestone ranges drop to turquoise lagoons. Treks weave canyon rims, spinifex plateaus and coastal dunes, with shore-snorkel options before/after walk hours. Distances are short, exposure is real, and there’s no reliable drinking water inside the park—plan like it’s remote, because it is.

Seasons & climate (what actually changes)

Dry months (Apr–Oct): Calmer trekking conditions, cooler nights, excellent visibility.
Hot months (Nov–Mar): Heat + afternoon sea-breezes; start at first light, build long shade breaks, and carry serious water.
Cyclone window: Nov–Apr in the northwest—track alerts, be flexible, and avoid flood-prone backroads during systems.
Turtle season: Nesting Nov–Feb; hatching ~Jan–Mar on west-side beaches (red-light rules and guided programs apply).

Culture & conduct (essentials that matter)

Sacred places & stories are present across the cape—observe no-photo zones and all site signage.
Drones: Regulated—many areas allow recreational flying under rules, but wildlife/sanctuary zones and some sites restrict or prohibit use. Check park-specific guidance before launching.
Look, don’t touch: Leave shells, fossils and cultural artefacts in place.

Passes & bookings (plain English)

Park entry: WA park fees apply at Cape Range.
Camping: Advance bookings required for coastal campgrounds; sites are basic (toilets; no drinking water).
Maps: Grab the official visitor guide / maps and download offline versions before leaving town.

Water, safety & nav (read this)

No potable water in park day-use areas or camps. Carry all drinking water for walks and camp.
Hydration rule-of-thumb: ≥ 1 L per person per hour while walking in heat; add electrolytes for longer stints.
Exposure & footing: Trails are rocky, open and sun-hard—hat, long light layers, grippy footwear.
Comms: Expect patchy reception—carry a PLB/satellite device and leave a trip plan.

Trails & highlights (trek-friendly picks)

Mandu Mandu Gorge (3 km loop, Class 4): Rocky creek bed and rim-top views; excellent short canyon sampler.
Yardie Gorge Trail (to ~2 km): Clifftop track overlooking the gorge and reef line; watch for black-footed rock-wallabies.
Badjirrajirra (high-range loop from Thomas Carter Lookout): A Class 4 loop (~6 km) on the Cape Range crest with Shothole/Exmouth Gulf views—best early or late for colour and breeze.
Charles Knife & Shothole Canyons: East-side lookouts, rim walks and 4WD access into dramatic limestone gorges—iconic golden-hour spots.
Coast add-ons (if legs still lively): Lakeside for an all-tide gentle snorkel; Oyster Stacks at high tide only (to protect coral and for safe depth).

Recommendations & local-style tips

Sunrise on the range: Hit Charles Knife at first light—layered ridges over Exmouth Gulf make easy hero shots.
Wind-smart sequencing: Do ridge or gorge walks in the morning, then slide to coast or visitor-centre time when the afternoon breeze kicks up.
Tide gospel (reef side): Plan Oyster Stacks for high tide (~≥1.2 m); otherwise skip it and choose Lakeside.
Wildlife etiquette: Give wallabies space on Yardie’s ledges; no feeding near carparks or camps.
Night sky: The cape does serious Milky Way—check moon phase and pack a warm layer for after-dark chills.

Practical logistics

Fuel & food: Stock up in Exmouth; there’s no potable water at park camps/day-use.
Road mix: Main access is sealed; Shothole is 4WD-only; unsealed spurs can close after rain—carry a Plan B.
Reception: Patchy outside town; Telstra has the best odds, but still expect black spots.
Swim sense: In marine sanctuaries, don’t stand on coral; use designated entries and observe all no-take rules.

Zero Trace (do it right)

Pack out everything, keep soaps and food scraps out of water, stay on formed pads, and respect cultural, wildlife and fire/cyclone closures without debate. Aim simple: leave the next visitor feeling like the first.

Adventure Time!

Here’s how it works—clean, simple, no surprises:

A) "Book with Deposit"

Place a deposit. You’ll pay the deposit at checkout.
Tell us the details. You’ll receive an email asking for your tour name/date, passenger details, and any special requests (room type, extras, dietaries, etc.).
We secure your spots. If everything’s clear, we confirm your booking by email so you can lock flights and plan the rest.
If we need anything (e.g., room configuration, add-on activities), we’ll ask—then issue confirmation once sorted.
Final balance invoice. After confirmation, you’ll be invoiced the remainder in line with the trips booking terms & conditions (each trip/partner has its own timeline but full payment is generally required at least 30 days prior to departure).
If we are unable to confirm your spot: you’ll receive a full refund of your deposit. Zero stress.

B) Instant confirmation route (selected trips)

Some departures use live operator booking calendars. These can deliver instant confirmation inside the operator’s system.
If you book this way, the operator’s terms & conditions apply immediately (including payment schedules and change/cancellation rules).

Good to know

Each trip may have slightly different deadlines and deposit rules—You can find the terms and conditions for your chosen booking on the listing page.
You can still flag special requests after deposit—earlier is better for availability.

Before your booking is confirmed

If we can’t confirm your spots after you’ve paid a deposit, we’ll issue a full refund of that deposit.

After your booking is confirmed

Cancellations follow the operator’s cancellation schedule (varies by trip and how close you are to departure).
Expect possible fees or non-refundable items (e.g., internal flights, permits, certain accommodations).
If a refund or credit is due, we’ll process it once the operator releases the funds and pass it back to your original payment method.

Instant-confirmation bookings (live operator calendars)

The operator’s T&Cs apply immediately on these. Some departures are non-refundable or have stricter windows.

How to cancel

Email us your booking reference, names on the booking, and a one-line request (“Please cancel”).
We’ll reply with the exact penalties/refund or credit per your operator before proceeding.

If the operator cancels or significantly changes your trip

You’ll be offered an alternative date, a travel credit, or a refund according to that operator’s policy. We’ll advocate for the best outcome for you.

Good to know

Refunds are returned to the original payment method; bank/FX fees aren’t usually recoverable.
Travel insurance is your friend for recovering non-refundable costs.
The earlier you contact us, the better your options typically are.

Short answer: Usually yes, but it depends on the operator’s rules and how close you are to departure.

Date changes

We’ll check new-date availability with the operator.
If a change is possible, you’ll pay any applicable operator change fee plus any price difference for the new date.
The closer to departure, the tighter (and costlier) changes become; some trips treat late changes as a cancel + rebook under the operator’s policy.

Transfer to another person (name change)

Many operators allow a name change/transfer up to a certain cut-off.
Fees and deadlines vary by operator and services booked (e.g., flights may be non-transferable).

Instant-confirmation bookings

If you booked via a live operator calendar, the operator’s T&Cs apply immediately. Some departures are non-changeable or have stricter windows.

How to request a change

Email us with your booking reference, preferred new date/person’s details, and any flexibility.
We’ll confirm options, fees, and any price differences before making changes.

Pro tips

Ask early—more seats = more options, lower fees.
Consider travel insurance that covers change/cancellation costs.
Always check booking terms and conditions, links displayed on each tour page under the overview.

Yes. Your money is protected by our own accreditation and safeguards, plus the protections of our tour partners and the payment methods we use.

Our business safeguards

Legally registered business with documented booking & refund policies.
Commercial insurance appropriate to our operations.
VTIC Quality Tourism Accreditation (Quality Tourism Accredited Business) confirming we meet industry standards for customer service, safety, and risk management.

Operator-level protection

We partner only with established operators who maintain their own financial protections and clear refund/credit policies.

Your legal rights

Your purchase is also covered by consumer laws in your country/state (fair trading/refund rights). We reference the applicable jurisdiction on your paperwork.

Extra peace of mind

Paying by credit card may add chargeback protection from your card issuer.
We strongly recommend travel insurance to cover situations outside operator/consumer protections (your own cancellation, medical, delays).

Absolutely. Our prices update live from the operator, but if you spot the same tour on the same dates with the same inclusions and terms advertised for less — even in a public sale or promo — we’ll match it.

Already booked? We’ll refund the difference to your original payment method (eligibility applies, based on the final checkout price including taxes/fees from an authorised seller). And yes, the matched price still includes our 200% carbon offset — no dilution of benefits.

Not for every trip—but for most travellers, we strongly recommend it

Some itineraries and partner operators do require insurance (especially remote treks, glacier walks, or bookings made via live operator calendars with mandatory cover).

When it’s required

Certain partners/departures make insurance compulsory and may ask for proof before departure. If you book one of these, their T&Cs apply immediately.

What good cover includes

Medical treatment & emergency evacuation/repatriation (high limits).
Trip cancellation/interruption (protects your deposit and balance if plans change).
Baggage & travel delay, and supplier default where available.
Coverage for all activities on your itinerary (e.g., trekking, glacier hikes, kayaking) and any relevant altitudes/conditions.
24/7 assistance hotline and a clear claims process.

When to buy

At booking. That way, cancellation benefits start immediately and you’re covered if something crops up before you travel.

How to share proof

Email us your policy certificate (names, policy number, assistance phone).
If you booked via an instant-confirmation operator calendar, follow their proof instructions and deadlines exactly.

Most departures run as planned, but guarantees depend on the operator and minimum numbers. If there’s a wobble, we’ll tell you fast and give you options.

How it works

Minimum group size: Most partners need a minimum number of travellers to confirm a trip.
When we confirm: Each operator has a confirmation window (often 30–60 days before departure). We monitor load and update you as status changes.
Any listing from "G-Adventures" will be guaranteed to run with a booking

If a trip is under-subscribed

We’ll contact you with clear options:

Move to another date (same tour)

Switch to a comparable trip

Full refund of monies paid (per the operator’s terms)

Any price differences for new dates/trips will be discussed before you decide.

If a trip is suspended (weather, park closures, strikes, force majeure)

First, we’ll look to re-route or adjust (e.g., alternative park, similar activities).
If that’s not viable, you can move dates, choose a different trip, or receive a refund/credit according to the operator’s policy.

Our promise

Proactive comms: We’ll keep you posted as soon as we know more—no last-minute surprises if we can help it.
No pressure choices: You pick the outcome; we handle the admin.
Flight advice: Until your tour is confirmed, book flexible/refundable flights or add insurance that covers schedule changes.
