Sal Salis
Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia / AustraliaFamily
Sal Salis welcomes children aged 5 years and over and is a great destination for families that enjoy the outdoors.
A third person can be accommodated in the Wilderness Tents in a swag bed - the traditional bed roll of the Australian bushman, these are the deluxe version and are very comfortable, particularly for younger travellers.
Swimming with Whale Sharks - Each year between April and July these slow-moving, gentle, filter-feeding giants migrate past Ningaloo Reef. The world’s biggest fish can grow to lengths of 12 metres or more and can live to almost 70 years. Snorkeling alongside their huge 1.5 metre diameter mouths is a once in a lifetime experience! Sal Salis offers whale shark swims with select local partners and you can expect an up-close-and-personal view of these gentle giants. During the course of the day your crew will also keep an eye out for turtles, dolphins, dugongs, rays and sea birds. Whale shark swims must be pre-booked at the time of arranging your accommodation.
Swimming with Humpback Whales - From 2016 guests to Sal Salis now have the opportunity to swim with Humpback whales from 01 August to 31 October each year. From June to November an estimated 30,000 humpback whales migrate along the Ningaloo Coast on their way to and from their breeding and birthing grounds in Exmouth Gulf and sheltered waters north as far as the Kimberley. The whales are easy to spot as they breach, lunge, slap the water and blow. They will continually move so swimming is required during interaction; you will need to be a confident swimmer, able to snorkel and swim freestyle. The whales are found in the open ocean so you may be swimming in current and swell.
