Our tour guides Ash, Liv & Dave were incredible. So accommodating I'm every aspect. We were able to swim off & know that the kids were completely safe & comfortable with these guys to ask any questions they had or just go to if they needed any help. They were full on knowledge, comfortable to be with & have a laugh! We will definitely book in for another tour with these guys when we come back. Thank you so much for giving us such a great experience!

Great tour, quality not quantity, excellent would recommend
Kim_v, May 2024
Everything was great, we were picked up on time from our accommodation, a/c small van, boat was waiting, hopped aboard, friendly staff and captain, mask/snorkel was provided, safety information was explained, a spot on reef was chosen, snorkeling begins !!! Snacks and fruit, water, sunscreen provided. Information about the reef and surrounding Indian Ocean, guide was looking out for different sea life to observe 😎

Nice fish spotting, small group, nice staff
Lucas_Y, Apr 2024
Saw lots of different fish close up and some turtles on the surface. The staff were very kind and helpful and they served some nice snacks. The sail out to the reef was not.far amd the skipper took good care to make a smooth ride. A small group which was cosy.
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Serial experience
shanaye_w, Oct 2023
Most serial experience, dream come true. Loved the whole tour and the skipper and tour guide were both such lovely people.
Totally awsome experience 🐠🪸🐳🐟
Alyson_L, Oct 2023
Snorkelling on Ningaloo reef. Swimming with turtles and a lepeord shark. Seeing the most amazing fish and coral. Having a great day with Zac the marine biologist and Raquel our snorkel guide and all the great people who were on board. Thanks Cape immersion.
Only saw fish but a great snorkelling session otherwise!
Lydia_N, Sep 2023
Didn’t see any turtles which was very disappointing. Only saw different types of fish. Was hoping for a bit more marine life. However, crew were absolutely lovely, so welcoming. Very easy, relaxed, and enjoyable. I’d done a few snorkels at ningaloo and this was the most comfortable experience I’d had both on the boat and in the water!
Fabulous snorkeling experience
Pauline_D, Jul 2023
We had a great time snorkelling Ningaloo with Cape Immersion. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you Pauline, we appreciate your review and hope to see you again.
A marine wildlife adventure!
The_S, Jul 2023
Amazing schools of fish, unexpectedly saw a Dugong and calf! Watched lots of turtles and dolphins, a wonderful experience would highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Thank you for the recommendation. The dugongs are beautiful and lucky to see a calf - there has been many around this year. Hope to see you again.
Would do again
david_H, Jul 2023
Seeing rays and sharks was most memorable as wife saw turtle but I actually missed it,very enjoyable 😉
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hi David, thank you for the review, sorry you missed the turtle - you will have to come out again another time. Hope to see you again.
Great crew and knowledgeable
Walter_C, Jul 2023
This was a half day tour, which was ideal for me having not snorkelled for years, got me into the groove for the next day we were booked with them again for a full day. Max and Janine were extremely knowledgeable on land and sea, they knew all the history of Exmouth and the good spots to dive. My pictures don't show exactly what you can see but gives a glimpse of what is there, mostly because my equipment is not professional (can't be the operator?). We were picked up at our accommodation on time and were taken to the boat ramp with a relaxing drive and being told the local history. They were very helpful and accomodating and would definitely use them again. Their boat was small enough to get to the shallower parts of the reef making it easier to see a lot.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you again for the review. We will pass this on to Max and Jan. We agree that they are both very knowledgeable, Jan has worked on the Ningaloo for years making friends with all the turtles! And Max is a bit of a wildlife whisperer- we thinks it's his enthusiasm that draws everything in! Glad we could get you back into snorkelling- it's always rewarding hearing guests are doing something for the first time or that they haven't done in awhile and they really enjoy themselves. Still plenty more to see and learn!
terrific half day out experience it so cool!
Diane_V, Jun 2023
Lovely friendly people and I enjoyed my half day tour. the reef is magnificent and the whole experience was terrific. many thanks
Response from Host, Jul 2023
No problem Diane, glad you had a great day and found everyone to be friendly. We have to agree that the reef is magnificent- there's nothing else quite like it. Please come and visit us again.
Snorkelling with life around the coral
Jeffrey_B, Jun 2023
Great snorkelling lovely guides unfortunately did not swim with tortoises but did see beautiful fish and coral
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you Jeffrey for your review. We are sorry you didn't get to swim with any turtles, sometimes they just don't want to unfortunately. I hope you saw some from the boat. Luckily it is still such a beautiful place to snorkel and see a variety of other marine life. Please come and visit us again.
Fantastic
Rayma_F, Jun 2023
Great tour guide was great experience for my first time snorkelling saw heaps fish sharks and dugong
Response from Host, Jun 2023
That is great to hear. We do our best to cater for beginners so everyone can have a great experience. Its always rewarding getting people out there for their first time snorkelling- it's a whole new (underwater) world to explore. We will pass this on to Jan for you and hope to see you again.
Sensational - fantastic day could not be faulted.
francine_c, May 2023
Exceptional. Cape Immersion tour group could not have done any more to provide a sensational day of snorkeling. They were extremely accommodating in all facets of the day. Could not recommend this tour highly enough
Response from Host, May 2023
Thanks Francine, we appreciate the recommendation. Great to hear your day was sensational! We hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in exmouth
Awesome experience
Tanya_Y, May 2023
I was impressed by the way we were able to interact with the marine wildlife in a natural way, without disturbing it. The crew was super nice and very savvy about the region and the animals. They were well equipped and I felt safe at all times.
Response from Host, May 2023
Thats lovely to hear, thank you for your review. That is always our main priorities- to keep our guests safe and to let them enjoy the beautiful Ningaloo without disruption to the wildlife. Please come and see us again.
Amazing, incredible experience

Great tour and team
Lloyd_M, Dec 2022
Fantastic tour highlighted by a great team We were lucky, we were the only three (our family) on the tour but I am sure the helpfulness and friendliness of the team would have been the same even if the tour was full. Although I did not go into the water, my two children (18 and 20) loved it. They saw multiple turtles but also a lorge variety of fish and other sea creatures. While I stayed on the boat, had nice chats with the staff and enjoyed the fruit and home baked muffins they brought out for us. We also were able to spend most of the time in the water, rather than on the boat hunting for good spots. Very smooth boat ride also for those worried about motion sickness. Highly recommended.
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Hi Lloyd, thank you for the review. While you were very lucky to have the boat to yourself we do always only take small numbers so everyone can enjoy the same personal experience you received. Seeing turtles is always a highlight and being nesting season up here they tend to be everywhere! Although of course we know the best spots :) glad you had a smooth ride- summer can be a bit windy here but we have the advantage of being able to move around the Cape to allow for this. We hope enjoyed your holiday and the festive season in Exmouth and will return.
Disappointing
LitSeng_C, Jul 2022
We just went on a couple of snorkels and saw small fishes and coral but no actual encounters with turtles. Disappointing experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
We are very sorry to hear that your search for a turtle interaction was not successful. Although the vast majority of our guests do get to see sea turtles whilst snorkelling, they are wild animals and are not always present at the snorkel sites. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Exmouth all the same.
Great day
Kimberley_W, Jul 2022
Amanda and the boat skipper were outstanding . Great viewing of the coral and fish. Really enjoyed the day.
Response from Host, Aug 2022
Thank you for your review. It is a beautiful place for snorkelling and we are glad to hear you thought our staff were outstanding - we will let them know.
Great experience with Immersion
Elfrieda_P, Jun 2022
A wonderful intro to Ningaloo for us. Excellent guide and skipper knew the reef like their own back yard. A great experience.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you, glad you had a great experience. It is our own backyard and we spend most of our time immersed in the Ningaloo - always more to see and learn! safe travels.
