Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Our Shore Thing Ningaloo Escape delivered experiences with diverse marine life in the pristine waters of Coral Bay. The relaxed comfort of the catamaran was a perfect setting for carefully planned and cooked meals. The service of the crew anticipated guests needs and professionally briefed and prepared group for all water activities. The crew’s knowledge of the reef highlighted experiences with the ocean and abundance of macro and micro marine life. The Captain calmly communicated to guests daily plans and expertly navigated the vessel to ensure experiences with marine environment were memorable. It was truly a “Ningaloo Escape”and immersion in this exceptional pristine environment. The crews flexibility ensured all guests needs were catered for and professional photography created beautiful reminders of the Liveaboard experience. We look forward to returning for a “Shore Thing Ningaloo Escape”.”
Recommended for: The welcoming friendliness of the crew, professionalism and support with all diving and snorkelling activities and intimate knowledge of the environment.
