Arguably the most magical time of the year at Ningaloo – turtle season.
Here at Sal Salis, we’re fortunate to witness turtles gliding gracefully along the Ningaloo coastline. While sightings occur year-round, guests staying at Sal Salis between March and September – October* can experience the coastline at its most captivating, as turtles gather in numbers to nest and hatch.
As one of the world’s most significant turtle habitats, Ningaloo Reef plays a vital role in the lifecycle of these majestic creatures – particularly the endangered green and loggerhead turtles – providing a protected haven along Australia’s pristine coral coast.
It’s one of the most magical times to stay at Sal Salis, with breathtaking guided experiences that bring you closer to nature – both above and below the surface.
While staying at Sal Salis, you can join daily tours led by expert guides, which evolve daily in tune with the rhythms of nature.
From gliding alongside turtles at snorkelling sites such as Osprey Bay and Turquoise Bay, to guided beach walks along the Jurabi Coast, this is one of the most magical times of the year to visit. As turtles fill the coastline, you’ll witness an incredible display of life along Ningaloo.
