Sal Salis

Activities

With a coral reef on the doorstep and incredibly enthusiastic guides, Ningaloo is one of the best places on earth to see and swim with whale sharks and manta rays. The area is also visited by a range of whale and dolphin species. Humpback whales migrate through the Marine Park from May to October each year and the reef is also visited by dwarf minke whales, orcas, pygmy blue whales, Bryde’s whales, Australian humpback dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, spinner dolphins and southern right whales.

Boat trips, kayaking and fishing trips can be arranged as well as excursions to the Cape Range National Park, a place of rugged limestone ranges, deep canyons and 50 kilometres of pristine beaches. Wildlife is abundant with a variety of birds, emus and red kangaroos commonly sighted.

Should you just wish to relax, there is a shaded area on the beach with sun loungers and an icebox filled with cold drinks.

In the evening after dinner, sit back on the Whale Deck and look up – the number of stars is simply astonishing and the location is known to be one of the best places to see the Milky Way. The lodge guides will bring to life the myriad of stars and point out the many different constellations filling the night sky.

Sal Salis is closed from 01 November through to mid-March every year.
