Try and imagine a magical place where you can swim with whale sharks and humpback whales, go off-roading through a canyon, snorkel with over 500 species of fish, glamp on the beach under the stars, and even paddleboard down a stunning creek.

Whale Sharks The Biggest Fish on Earth (Rhincodon typus) An adult is bigger than a bus (up to 20 metres long) and can weigh 20 tonnes, but the biggest fish in the sea – and the biggest non-cetacean creature on Earth – is a gentle giant who appears not to care about a gaggle of…

The Ningaloo Reef: where giant sharks of the blue come to feast on the tinniest of life. Where humpback whales sing and play, throwing their gigantic selves to the skies, only to crash back down to sea, making waves. Where black and white predators thrive, and turtles’ nest, tigers of the sea prowl, and dolphins…

Within the aquatic realm, I often try to measure an animal’s intelligence with the curiosity which it displays. The more curious an animal, the more “brains” it has. As fish go, manta rays are certainly the intellectuals of the Ningaloo Reef. Pound for pound, they boast the largest brain of any elasmobranch or bony fish,…

Charismatic Clownfish Anemonefish are fiery personalities, defending their homes with aggression which far surpasses their size. No intruder is too big for the hearty “clownfish”, and they are loved by divers and photographers for their animated, territorial displays. It’s probably for this reason that they were chosen to star in the Disney Pixar Blockbuster: “Finding Nemo”. On…
