What are the best things to do in Exmouth?
Mangrove Bay
Mangrove Bay is a small sanctuary zone located on the western edge of Cape Range National Park. It has a beautiful stretch of beach where you can plan a day of swimming, surfing, and kayaking when you book Exmouth accommodation and flight packages. There’s also a mangrove lagoon located right beside the beach. This lagoon is one of the top spots for bird-watching while you’re visiting the Coral Coast on Exmouth holiday packages. Keep an eye out for kingfishers, pelicans, ospreys, and bar-shouldered doves.
Ningaloo Reef
Ningaloo Reef is the largest fringing reef in Western Australia, stretching for an impressive 300 kilometres (186 miles). Spending some time at the reef tops the wish list for many visitors who plan a trip to WA’s Coral Coast with Exmouth packages. Snorkelling and diving tours are excellent ways to see the colourful coral up close. Scenic flights are also available, providing a unique view over Ningaloo Reef. About 500 different species of fish and marine animals can be spotted in Ningaloo Reef, and the whale shark is the most famous. See whale sharks and get the chance to swim with some by booking hotel and accommodation in Exmouth between March and July.
Charles Knife Canyon
The Coral Coast is especially known for its reefs and coastal activities, but there are also beautiful spots to see inland while holidaying on Exmouth holiday packages. Charles Knife Canyon is tucked into the Cape Range and has a rugged Outback feel to it. There’s a scenic Charles Knife Canyon drive which hugs the ridges of the Cape Range for 11 kilometres (6.8 miles). Head to the top of the Charles Knife Lookout for a view over the Cape Range and canyons that are about 311 metres (1,020 feet) deep. The lookout connects to the Badjirrajirra Trail, which is especially nice to hike if you book Exmouth packages for travel during the cooler months. It’s 6.8 kilometres (4.2 miles) long and offers access to spots like the Shothole Canyon and Thomas Carter Lookout.
