Unfortunately, our planned “snorkel with mantas” tour from Denham has been cancelled, so nothing held us there and we drove till Exmouth. In the visitor center we booked a snorkel tour for Friday and then entered Cape Range National Park which also contains most of the famous Ningaloo Reef, which is mostly very near from the shore. So, we went snorkeling on our own and were greeted by colorful fishes and a sea turtle.
Later on we also spotted a stingray. From the beach we finally saw a shark in the water, so we decided to leave it for the day with snorkeling. Instead, we went to a bird hide and observed pelicans and other birds, before setting up our wilderness camp for the night at Ned’s Camp (directly at the beach within the park).
