- P K1 contributionAs magical as I remember it from 2003!
To die for crystal clear waters and magical marine life.
Easy drive out from town on sealed roads.

You can take the Minilya - Exmouth turnoff road and travel 11 km into to the canyon, along windy road that travels up to and along the rim from which you are afforded remarkable views into the canyon on both sides of the road. This road is accessible with 2wd and doesn't require park entry fee.
We visited midday enjoying the spectacular colours of the rim and gorge walls when the sun poured into the canyon. During a second visit, we arrived at first light enjoying a bit of breakfast during sunrise which you can see from a handful of the pullover lookout points along Charles Knife Rd.
Near the end of the road there is a short 1 km turnoff which leads to a a small carpark, the Thomas Carter Lookout and the Badjarrijarri Trailhead for those seeking to hike up to the remarkable Shothole Canyon Lookout. This is a great hike and viewpoint if you are considering hitting one of the gorge trails around the Cape Range NP and Ningaloo World Heritage Area.Written 8 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DarylJ552Carlsbad, CA3,464 contributionsThe Vlamingh Head Lighthouse is located about 15 Kilometers North of Exmouth high on a hill overlooking the ocean. The lighthouse isn't open but there are some information plaques and an observation outpost. During WWII there was a radar station and some artillery here.Written 19 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China178,386 contributionsNingaloo Centre is a complex across the street from the RAC Holiday Park in the heart of Exmouth town centre. In addition to research & conference centres and the Exmouth library, you will find a tourism Visitor Centre, Cafe as well as the Ningaloo Aquarium & Discovery Centre. Opening hours are 8.30am to 4.30pm (weekdays) and 9am to 4.30 (weekends).
We visited and found helpful tourism brochures around the Ningaloo coastal area and Cape Range National Park as well as some interesting merchandise. Staff on hand seemed very helpful as well. You can arrange tours here and there are clean toilets. Tickets are required for the aquarium & discovery centre.Written 2 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BradHong Kong, China178,386 contributionsWe recently spent a few nights in Exmouth and enjoyed exploring the Ningaloo Coastline, array of beautiful sandy beaches, shallow turquoise coloured waters as well as the remarkable arid landscape and gorges of the Cape Range National Park.
This is a great area for lazy days at the beach, snorkelling as well as scenic drives and hiking around Mandu Mandu, Yardie Creek and the Charles Knife Drive area. A shout out for the small town of Exmouth as well for the very good breweries, restaurants and general setup there for hosting travellers seeking to spend time visiting this unique location in WA.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - BradHong Kong, China178,386 contributionsThe Mandu Mandu Gorge is one of the many stops you can make along Yardie Creek Road in the Cape Range National Park. Here you will find a 3km loop trail that follows a creek bed into the gorge before climbing up to the rim and returning along higher grounds from which you have nice views into Mandu Mandu Gorge, the surrounding Park grounds and the Ningaloo Coastline in the distance.
We enjoyed this trail. Quite a few black-flanked rock wallabies spotted throughout along with an osprey and other birdlife and interesting vegetarian. The trail is moderately challenging with one fair ascent and some rough ground to cover. Best to have good hiking shoes and essential to bring sufficient water, sunscreen and hat.Written 5 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - BradHong Kong, China178,386 contributionsShothole Canyon is north of the Charles Knife Canyon when driving along the Minilya - Exmouth Road. This is a 4wd access road only, travelling deep into the gorge, thus limiting many visitors from being able to drive into the canyon.
If you don't have 4wd, you can still experience the Shothole Canyon by taking the Charles Knife Drive to the Thomas Carter Lookout. This is where you find the Badjarrijarri Trail, a 7km loop trail that heads straight to the Shothole Lookout, where you find yourself upon the rim viewing to the gorge. Views from here are rather remarkable, showcasing the road heading in from the distance along with the depths of the gorge. From here you can either complete the loop trail or turn around and head back to save yourself some time and energy if you are really just wanting to take in the viewpoint.Written 6 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
