Review of our Alice Springs to Adelaide Tour
The first day we left Alice Springs and headed towards Kings Canyon. On the way there we were given the opportunity to ride camels which was a first time for a lot of us and was a great experience. We then arrived at Kings Canyon for a hike, but make sure you bring a head net as there can be a lot of flies about, but you barely notice them with the net on. The hike was fantastic as we got to see the gorge after walking through the canyon and seeing the sandstone walls whilst our tour guide told us about the history of it. Explore

Swimming with Whale Sharks, Exmouth, Australia


Swimming with Whale Sharks, Exmouth, Australia
Every year from late March to July, whale sharks gather off the coast of Western Australia to feed near Ningaloo Reef. Ningaloo Reef is located north of Perth between the towns of Coral Bay and Exmouth. The annual whale shark migration coincides with the coral bloom on Ningaloo Reef which feeds plankton which in turn is filtered from the sea water by these harmless sharks. The reef's proximity to the coastline, its 260km length and the deep water of the nearby continental shelf mixed with favourable ocean currents creates the right ingredients for a diverse array of ocean wildlife.
