Manta ray - Full eyes: corals, turtles, a manta ray, two dolphins. Thanks to the whole team, we feasted and had a great time. The organization is at the top and the attendants are very attentive to our well-being and safety.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING X 100000000!! - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DAY!! From the moment we walked in we knew this was going to be a great time; the staff were so incredibly friendly and welcoming and had a wonderful energetic vibe that was contagious. The boat ride was smooth, the staff were all so so knowledgeable about the marine life and the bay and we appreciated their commitment to making sure the marine life were respected and protected during the day. They obviously love what they do and this shone through. Instructions were clear and we all got to see the most AMAZING manta rays, and even some beautiful grey reef sharks. Thank you Christian, Ruby, Laura and Dan - this day will live in our memories forever and you truly made the day a joy. If you are thinking of doing this tour but worried about the $$ I would encourage you to just DO IT - you can’t take the money with you and you won’t be in this little slice of heaven again for a while. Well worth the money!!!!!

The magic of coral Bay! - Fantastic tour with Dan, Liz, Tash and (really sorry I forgot the awesome captains name! He's originally from NSW but lived in Switzerland with his wife!!) Swam with what can only be described as a plethora of turtles! A fever of smooth whip ray, reefys and mantas (of course). Bonus sightings of a coupla big tiger sharks and a pod of randy dolphins. A genuine brilliant experience. The magic of coral Bay lives on!!

Wonderful experience, you can’t miss it! - Absolutely amazing! We had the best day and saw so much wonderful wildlife! We snorkeled twice in the morning and even saw turtles and sharks, before swimming with the mantas in the early afternoon. Afterwards, the lovely crew prepared some lunch (sandwiches and pasta), as well as fresh fruit and tea and biscuits. They were knowledgeable and friendly and made sure we had an amazing time, especially Lou and Laura with her amazing pictures.
The manta swims are quite fast-paced as you get in and out of the water fast and follow the mantas as they swim - so it’s recommended to be a quite confident swimmer, but the crew is amazing and help out everyone, and it is done in small groups to ensure everyone has a chance to see the mantas and gets back to the boat safely.
We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this to anyone, you won’t regret it!

Totally amazing and highly recommended - This tour was first rate. The crew (Christian, Tasha, Ruby and Dan) were so attentive, professional and wanting to do everything to make our day a special experience (which it was). The boat was immaculate and in excellent condition. The snorkelling gear was in excellent condition. Morning tea and lunch were superb. However, the snorkel sights and the 4 drops to swim with mantarays and the additional drop to swim with a loggerhead turtle were breathtaking experiences, co-ordinated with precision and professionalism. I strongly recommend this tour. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I’m so glad I chose to drive from Exmouth to Coral Bay to go on this Eco Marine tour.

Tick off the bucket list! - What an awesome experience! Saw a huge range of coral and fish varieties and got to swim with turtles and manta rays - and all beautifully caught on camera by the amazing Laura. Captain Christian and the lovely crew were friendly, informative, professional and very capable. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience getting up close with the incredible Ningaloo marine life - but as they taught us, remember the Three T's: don't Touch, Take or Tease!

Tremendous experience. Highly professional outfit. - Possibly the best experience ever! The eco-tours team were brilliant with us and a special shout out to Tash, Lilly, Em and Captain Christian. Really good snorkelling over the Ningaloo Reef and swimming with reef sharks and manta rays. We enjoyed a good lunch on board while out on the water. Highly recommend.

THE tour to book in Coral Bay! - Amazing tour! The crew were very knowledgeable, and, most importantly, you could tell that they were having a good time and enjoying what they were doing.
Being able to buy high quality underwater photos and videos made the memories ofr the experience even better.

Best tour in Coral Bay - The trip was spectacular. We saw a large female (pregnant Manta), sharks, turtles, and lots of different fish and coral. Dan (photographer) took some amazing images of the experience, which I will cherish forever. 10/10
