5 Night Live-Aboard Expedition
Ocean Safari Expedition
Our Signature Ningaloo Sailing Expedition
Six extraordinary days exploring the untouched northern reaches of Ningaloo Reef aboard our elegant vessel.
About This Expedition
A Perfect Introduction to Live-Aboard
The Ocean Safari expedition is designed for those who want the complete Ningaloo live-aboard experience without committing to a week at sea. Six carefully curated days, maximum 12 guests, and all the luxury you deserve.
The northern reef is among the most pristine sections of Ningaloo — vast, biodiverse, and relatively untouched. This is where you will encounter whale sharks, glide over coral gardens, and fall utterly in love with the ocean.
