Scenic helicopter flights over Ningaloo/Nyinggulu

Scenic Helicopter's Coral Bay Sunset

During the month of July, Scenic Helicopters will be offering flights over the magical wonders of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef (Nyinggulu), departing from Coral Bay in the Coral Coast. With five, 15 or 30 minute scenic flight options to choose from, guests will be able to spot an array of marine life from above, including whale sharks, manta rays, humpback whales and turtles; and marvel at the turquoise colours of the reef.

Discover Burrowing Bees in the Coral Coast

A new Aboriginal cultural tour that uncovers the unique burrowing bee has launched in the Coral Coast town of Carnarvon. Burrowing Bee Dreaming runs a 90-minute walking tour that strides through the Gascoyne region, exploring traditional bush foods and the cultural background of the region. The main highlight of the tour is spotting one of the largest bees in the world, the Mungurragurra (Burrowing Bee). Only found in WA, these bees do not produce honey or live in colonies, instead thousands of them cluster together and dig individual nesting burrows. Toni Roe, named The Bee Lady of Carnarvon, leads these tours and shares the story of the Mungurragurra and their relevance to local Aboriginal culture.
