Ningaloo Reef Tour Companies

Pros: SUPERB guide/driver Geoff Homma took us to see incredible places. 5 stars for Geoff, I truly hope he gets paid handsomely since the group of 22 gave the company Autopia Tours over $40 000 AUD over 6/7 days when the company only spends about $80-$200 AUD daily per person. Cons: Price was far too high for shabby accommodation and small portion participation camping meals prepared/cleaned by guests/guide eaten outside or on the side of the road with the elements/bugs on a set menu that cannot be changed. Bus was decent but cramped with little leg room and no window shades or upper storage. Due to the marketing, the group will always consist of elderly guests who require more time/help, causing delays. Very little time spent at each destination. Extra activities are extremely expensive. Go see the whale sharks for cheap/free in the warm waters of the Philippines or Maldives at your leisure instead of spending $600-$700 AUD

A trip of a lifetime! As a solo female traveller in my 50s I was nervous about joining a tour (I'd not done anything like this before), but I needn't have worried. The tour, and the whole experience, far exceeded my expectations. A great itinerary - we saw and did some amazing things - though given how much time was spent on the minibus, it would have been nice if that had been a bit more spacious and comfortable. Our tour guide, Geoff, was amazing. He was knowledgeable, kind and caring, and went over and above to make sure everyone had an great time. He really added to this trip! The communication in the run up to the start of the tour was a bit lacking. Once I was fully paid-up for the tour, the correspondence seemed to stop. I would have appreciated some confirmation of all the pick up details, timings, etc, in the days before we left. That would have been reassuring.

Very enjoyable. Would have liked to stay over in Coral Bay and seen more of the Reef.

Jason, thank you for a wonderful trip and for providing so many memorable experiences on this short tour. It was full on from the first moment to the last. It was inclusive of visits to amazing natural features, providing in-depth commentary of all the local areas, very comfortable accommodation, great options for food and coffee, competent driving and for ensuring all participants were catered at all times. 5 stars from me. Thank you Jason

Glenn our tour guide could not have been a better companion. He was extremely knowledgeable about flora, fauna, and local culture.Engaging and accommodating to everyone’s kneeds. Also an excellent group of people from diverse backgrounds. The accomodation was basic but clean. Highly recommended

First accommodation at YHA at Kalbarri was shocking. Had terrible bed bug bites all over my torso. Dirty premises. My guide Mel is amazing. She made the trip for me. The entire tour group fed off her vibes and positive vibrant energies. Mel is also very passionate about her work and we all felt safe with her behind the wheel of the big truck. Everything was well organised and explained clearly. Thank you for a memorable tour experience.

Your radar did not forward some emails sent by our tour guide. Therefore we did not have information that we should have had at the beginning of the trip which was inconvenient for the tour organisation when we joined it.
