My Pick up was in the early morning from the bus station in Rainbow Beach. It´s less then 2 minutes from all hostels in Rainbow Beach, which are all on the one street. This trip is aimed at 18-35's and was great value and all inclusive, which is why I choose it for my Fraser Island adventure. I am not a fan of camping, so the option to sleep in dorm share really appealed to me. Also, you travel with a guide on a 4WD bus, so I was looking forward to learning lots about Fraser Island and its history as a world hertiage listed location.

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.
