Do you have to pay and do a tour to snorkel at coral bay ningaloo reef? Or can you bring your own snorkel and explore for free? 2nd question is the ningaloo reef accessible from the shore or do you have to go out on a boat to reach it??

Coral Bay has excellent coral within swimming distance from the shore. The tours take you to very special places though. The northern arm of the bay is a nursery for the harmless reef sharks and well worth a look.
Hi, are you allowed to freedive? And can you wear a bathing suit instead of a wetsuit if you go during the warmer months?
A:
There were people free diving but not around the manta rays and yes it would be ok just to wear your costume as people were doing Just that ok our dive Hope that helps
is it possible to just swim at the shore to see the manta rays? or is it neccessary to book the package tours?
A:
Yes, it's possible but it would be very difficult to spot the manta rays from shore. You would still need a boat to go out from shore. And then you need to know where to go …
Yes, it's possible but it would be very difficult to spot the manta rays from shore. You would still need a boat to go out from shore. And then you need to know where to go from...there are numerous four-wheel/unsealed tracks off the Cardabia-Ningaloo Road. So, if you have a boat and an SUV to tow it off-road to the right beach, you could see the manta rays off the beach. But all that is quite challenging. Best to use an experienced tour operator. We used Ningaloo Reef Dive & Snorkel in Coral Bay and they guarantee sightings or a free return credit.
We have booked the whale sharks for later in May and would like to know if there is anything in particular we should be bringing on the tour besides sea sick meds. Thanks
