Where the outback meets the reef
Located on the North West Cape, Sal Salis is an hour’s drive (70kms) south of Exmouth, in the Cape Range National Park. The tents are situated just 50 metres back from the beach amongst the low-lying coastal dunes. Two kilometres behind the camp lies the limestone range of the Cape Range National Park, dissected by spectacular gorge.
Choose to fill your days at Sal Salis however you like, from whale shark experiences, to kayaking, hiking and much more. Select from the below options to learn more.
Snorkelling - Wake up, with the world’s largest fringing reef
Peek out of your glamping tent, after the best night’s sleep you’ve had in years, to be greeted by the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef. Home to over 500 species of colourful fish, 250 varieties of coral formations along with rays, turtles, dugongs, clownfish, harmless reef sharks, and sea birds. Unlike the Great Barrier Reef, the coral is within swimming distance from your private beach, so there’s no need for boats and time-consuming transfers. Walk on the warm white beach sands, before wading into the clearest turquoise waters you’ve ever seen… and within a few long strokes… there’s the coral.
Kayaking - You, Ningaloo Reef, sunset, and all the feels
Spend the day drifting the Ningaloo Reef, perfecting your stroke under the generous Western Australian sun. Marvelling at the sparkling crystal-clear turquoise-coloured water, only touched by your oar. This is relaxation nirvana. Time your kayak adventure as the sun sets, seeing and feeling it slowly cascade into an oceanic plane of vibrant orange.
Guided Gorge Walks - The dreamy Cape Range is waiting to be discovered
Sal Salis is perfectly positioned between the Ningaloo Reef and the striking Cape Range National Park, both of which make up the Ningaloo Coast Worls Heritage Area. Start your day with a guided hike across this unique landscape, where you can get out on foot and explore a different kind of ecosystem; the Australian bush. Connect with the beating heart of Australia, through the ranges and gorges, steeped in geological history and dreamtime mythology. Let the arid terrain, unique Australian fauna, plants, birds, red kangaroos, rock wallabies, 80 species of reptiles and insects, inspire and teach you.
Stargazing - Days underwater, nights under stars
After swimming with whale sharks, humpback whales and all of Ningaloo Reef’s colourful creatures, you’re happy to reflect on this soul-filling experience. But the adventure doesn’t end when the sun goes down.
At Sal Salis Ningaloo Reef, something really special happens at night.
Humpback Whale Swim - An experience transforming lives
Plunge into the pristine Indian Ocean water and prepare to have the experience of a lifetime. Although a mighty 40,000 kilograms in size, humpback whales are gentle, charmingly curious creatures. Your heart is surging with anticipation, not fear. Never in your life have you seen such a spectacle. If you’re lucky, you might even see a calf and the intimate dynamic between mother and young.
(June to November)
Whale Shark Swim - “The most incredible thing I’ve ever done.”
Jump off the back of the boat and straight into a bucket-list must-do. Gliding next to the world’s largest fish, the whale shark, feeling its majesty and surprising gentleness. You’re fearless — intoxicated by life, and something so overwhelmingly beautiful.
Breaking the surface, you can’t wait to share your experiences with fellow swimmers. You know you’ve just witnessed something indelibly rare.
(mid-March to August)
