Marine Eco Safari - Swim with Manta Rays

This was such an awesome trip - I really recommend it! We saw mantas, turtles, humpback whales, reef sharks, and so much more - we all (inc 12 and 13 yr old kids) loved it. The staff were excellent - really welcoming, knowledgeable, comprehensive briefings, and very good kit- nothing was too much trouble snd they made sure everything fit properly so you had a great experience - the best tour I’ve been on in Ningaloo! Thanks guys!!

The staff were great and went out of their way to try to give us a wonderful day. However, the owners' parameters led to a very average experience. For example: 1 the slap dash approach to the food and drink was not classy and not good enough. 2. dry bun loaf for morning tea 3. cut up oranges and rock melon for afternoon tea did not meet expectations. 4. guests on the top level were not advised that "afternoon tea" was being served downstairs and missed out 5. after morning tea nothing except water was offered to guests with lunch and afternoon tea or afternoon snacks. 6. For older customers there should be a more transparent and open approach to ensuring they knew what they were buying into. For example some, after paying good money, were not able to engage with the program and hence sat there all day just watching proceedings. Please ensure that those who enrol for the program are actually capable of engaging with it.

On our last trip to Coral Bay (July 26), I wanted to swim with the Manta Ray's and luckily so did my best friend. We booked spontaneous online, through the company's website. Honestly, you won't regret it - it might seem like a lot of money but it an experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life. It's been over 2 weeks since we did our swim and I am still on a high. Everything was so simple, from getting to the boat, to the snorkeling, to the swimming with Manta's and getting home. We did the full day tour which starts at 8am and finishes roughly between 2-3pm. We got very lucky and had a small group of 15 people which allowed us extra time in the water with the Manta's. The staff were amazing and helpful. Full of knowledge and friendly. We saw a beautiful female manta who was so chilled that she let us swim with her multiple times, that was the absolute high for me. However, on just the snorkeling around the reef we saw turtles, octopus, so many stunning fish and coral, lemon shark, reef shark and even from the boat we saw a humpback whale and her calf. Regardless, it was such a fun and peaceful day that I would go back and do this 100 times over. Coral Bay Ecotours, I will be back to swim with Humpbacks as soon as I possibly can!!

Amazing day!! The staff were friendly, professional and so knowledgeable about Ningaloo Reef and the marine life. They are incredibly eco conscious and protective of the area. The snorkelling is stunning and the wildlife was in abundance. Highly recommend

We had an amazing time on our tour. The staff - Pau, Jess, Brandt, Robin, & Kris really helped make this day special. They were so helpful & knowledgeable and it was very obvious they were passionate about the wildlife & the reef. They even helped season our own masks which we were totally unaware of for new equipment. Now for the wildlife of the reef well they definitely came to the party. We got to snorkel with 4 manta rays as well as another snorkel in the cleaning station with 5 of them. We had a pair of humpback whales visit us & a small tiger shark as well a large pod of dolphins. One even gave us a jumping display breaching our numerous times. Also got to snorkel with half a dozen reef sharks in their cleaning stations. It was the absolute best. Definitely recommend. Oh & Kris’ photos of the day were great. You have to purchase. Well worth it

Awesome tour - the manta rays turned up and the humpbacks put on a show that went on for ages. The guides and skipper were uber-helpful, particularly to us seniors, and Ellie pulled out all stops to get the photos. The food was great too, with special attention to our gluten-free needs. All in all, a fantastic day - highly recommended!!

WOW WOW WOW!!!! What an amazing day. Thanks Robin, Jess, Mike and Kris for bringing the excitement. Your enthusiasm and knowledge made this a great adventure. Not too mention the beauty of Ningaloo reefs, You showed us the best of your back yard and ohhhhh those Manta's. Truly magnificent. And then you topped it off with some Humpbacks breaching. We were totally exhausted by the end. But what a great exhaustion

Did the Marine Eco Safari - Swim with Manta Rays with Eco Tours and it did not disappoint. Honestly felt like being on safari, just underwater - we saw so much wildlife all day. The crew were brilliant - friendly, knew their stuff, and made sure everyone felt safe in the water without being overbearing about it. Swimming with the manta rays was a proper bucket-list moment. They were great photos taken across the day which meant we didn’t need to worry about bringing our own camera gear. Couldn't recommend this one more. If manta rays are on your list, book this trip.

Excellent day out. Plenty of snorkelling in different spots. Fantastic to see the Manta Rays

Wow, what an experience. Thank you crew for sharing your knowledge, passion and expertise. Not only swam with manta rays but turtles, reef sharks and saw a dugong and her calf. Would definitely recommend.
