One of the best places in Western Australia to see migrating Humpback Whales is Ningaloo Marine Park off the coast of Exmouth and Coral Bay. You can see these giants of the ocean on their journey between summer breeding grounds in the North West shelf and winter feeding grounds in the Antarctic. The best time to go whale watching at Ningaloo is between June and November. Humpback whales are massive – they can grow up to 19 metres in length and way up to 40 tonnes. You can spot them from shore or get up close on a whale watching boat tour from Coral Bay or Exmouth. The babies of the family, humpback whale calves are also often seen in this area. Mothers with new-born calves usually stay the longest in the waters of Ningaloo Marine Park and travel more slowly so their calves can grow. By the time they reach the Antarctic, the calves have developed a thick layer of blubber to protect them from the cold. Get to Ningaloo in a two day drive or a two and a half hour flight from Perth.

The spectacle of hot water gushing from the natural 914 metre deep Bibbawarra Bore is a fascinating sight. View the remains of the impressive 175 metre troughs that were used to transport the ground water to sheep and cattle, cooling along the way. Discovered in 1905 the bore still produces a continuous flow of water today. Learn about its discovery and interesting statistics about the bore. The temperatures of the water reach up to 68 degrees so be sure to take care when walking around the bore. Due to its remote location, the bore is only accessible when the river is dry. While in the area, pay a visit to the Heritage Precinct in Carnarvon where you can enjoy a walk down the historic One Mile Jetty, take numerous walk trails, fish or learn some of the history of Carnarvon at the Lighthouse Cottage Museum. Located ten hours drive north of Perth and just a short 20 minute drive north of Carnarvon, Bibbawarra Bore is a unique sight to see.

The pristine waters of Ningaloo Reef transform into colourful clouds each year during the Coral Spawning season. Night tours take you up close to his amazing natural phenomenon which happens between seven and 10 days after the full moon in March and April. The annual coral spawning cycle is an incredible sight which is part of the regeneration of Ningaloo Reef. The coral spawn is also a major factor in the arrival of the world's biggest fish, the whale-shark. Krill and plankton are drawn to the reef by the coral spawn, which are then in turn eaten by whale-sharks which arrive each year to feed. You can see the coral spawn on tours from Coral Bay or Exmouth. Getting to Ningaloo Reef is easy - fly there in around two and a half hours or drive there in two days from Perth.
