Departing from Coral Bay, Western Australia, set sail aboard the beautifully appointed 51-foot sailing catamaran ‘Shore Thing’. Over 4 days, expert crew and guides will show you the very best sites on the World Heritage-listed inner and outer reefs. Inner reef dive sites offer brilliant coral coverage and a safe haven for more than 500 species of fish, rays, turtles, reef sharks and more. Outer reef sites, meanwhile, include historic shipwrecks, reef ledges and wall dives. Some of these sites are visited only by Shore Thing and have been personally named by the crew. No other Ningaloo Reef dive tour accesses these areas, so they are pristine and uncrowded.
While scuba diving activities are accommodated on many scheduled tours, a dedicated diving tour means the itinerary can be tailored specifically to the divers, conditions, and tides. The group size is kept small, with a maximum of just 8 divers. A qualified PADI dive master, or instructor, oversees all dives and will assist with all your equipment. Your diving holiday is sure to be one to remember – for all the right reasons!

Throughout your journey, you’ll enjoy all-inclusive gourmet meals and snacks, with the opportunity to catch your own dinner. A team of experienced crew and guides are at your service at all times and snorkelling, diving, kayaking and fishing equipment is provided. Transport to and from Learmonth Airport also included.
Make the most of your time on Ningaloo Reef with this 4-day liveaboard dive trip. Spend less time on land and more time uncovering the secrets of this underwater oasis!

While every effort will be made to provide the services and experiences as offered in our brochure, on our website, and in our trip letters, we reserve the right to vary your itinerary. In the event that we are forced to change your arrangements, substitute arrangements of a similar standard will be provided.

We refer you to the conditions regarding travel insurance.Changes in PricesWhile we will do its utmost to honour its pricing unforeseen circumstances may mean that prices may be subject to change without notice.Pre-Existing Medical Conditions and Age LimitsYou need to advise Onlyluxe travel and the tour operator on any pre-existing medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability that might reasonably be expected to increase the risk of your requiring medical attention, or that might affect the normal conduct of a trip and the enjoyment of other trip members. Onlyluxe Travel and the tour operator may require an assessment of your medical condition from a qualified medical practitioner. If you fail to adequately notify the tour operator of any pre-existing medical conditions and/or disability, the tour operator reserves the right, at its reasonable discretion, to cancel your participation in a trip at any time, including after the commencement of your trip, with no right of refund if your medical condition, mobility impairment and/or disability could be reasonably expected to affect the normal conduct of the trip and the enjoyment of other trip members.Cancellation by The Tour OperatorThe walks take place in very special wilderness settings. The tour operator is at the mercy of nature in all her beauty and all her fury. The tour operator will under no circumstance knowingly place at risk the health and well-being of our guests and guides. In the case of natural threats, acts of God and the like (e.g. bushfires, impassable snow, etc) the tour operator may need to cancel a walk with very little notice. In some cases, this can occur after the walk has commenced. The tour operator reserves the right to cancel any walk up to 60 days prior to departure if a minimum of 4 walkers are unable to meet for a tour. If the tour operator needs to cancel for any reason, the cost of the walk or any other costs associated with travel to the designated pick up point, overnight accommodation, meals, etc will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore we strongly recommend travel insurance be taken out prior to travel.Force Majeure'Force Majeure' means (without restriction) any event which Onlyluxe Travel or its third party providers could not, even with due care, foresee or avoid. Force Majeure covers events such as, but not limited to, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events beyond our control. In the case of Force Majeure Onlyluxe Travel will not accept liability, and reserves the right to change and cancel trips.EvacuationsIn rare circumstances, due to injury or unforeseen illness, the tour operator may need to evacuate you from a remote part of the walk. Helicopter evacuations are expensive and in most cases will be at a cost to the customer.For Australian residents, under the Australian Government Medicare Act, it is prohibited for any domestic travel insurance product to provide any financial reimbursement with regard to ambulance or air ambulance services. We therefore strongly advise our customers to take specific ambulance cover through their health insurance provider. Evacuation cost will not be covered by the Onlyluxe Travel and therefore it is also strongly recommended that our customers take out travel insurance to cover (amongst other things) the costs associated with evacuation.Travel InsuranceIn view of the heavy cancellation penalties applied to cancelled reservations in certain circumstances, we strongly recommends suitable travel insurance be purchased at the time the holding deposit is paid. We recommend insurance cover that covers any loss which may be suffered due to cancellation. We also strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance against loss of baggage and medical expenses.
