Search and Stay: Visit Ningaloo Coast, Western Australia and experience sea turtles breeding.

Ningaloo coast turtle nesting From November to March each year, green, hawksbill and loggerhead mature female turtles make the long journey up the beaches off the Ningaloo Coast in Western Australia - one of the world's major breeding areas for sea turtles. Ningaloo Reef is Australia’s largest fringing reef and supports a high diversity of marine life.

Visitors can take in the action of the journey on a night tour with Jurabi Turtle Centre, and continue exploring Ningaloo with a number of operators offering snorkelling tours to discover the marine life wonders that call Ningaloo Reef home.

Night tours provide the opportunity to watch the turtles make their long arduous journey up the beaches to lay their eggs. Six weeks after laying, the hatchlings scramble down to the water's edge, usually around dusk, dawn or through the night.
