A new voucher incentive program has been introduced to encourage travellers to head north and support Western Australia’s Coral Coast following the impacts of Cyclone Narelle in late March.

The new scheme offers 50 per cent off selected tours and experiences, with Exmouth, Coral Bay and Carnarvon once again welcoming visitors following extensive recovery work, while discounted flights into Exmouth are also available through the Affordable Airfares Program.

Part of the WA Government’s $1.45 million Cyclone Narelle Tourism Business Support Package, the initiative aims to boost visitation while helping local operators recover.

“For those considering a trip to Ningaloo, there’s never been a more meaningful time to travel,” Live Ningaloo owner Murray Pattison said. “Visitors can support local businesses and communities while experiencing one of Western Australia’s most remarkable destinations.”

The region’s Ningaloo/Nyinggulu Reef remains a major drawcard, especially in the winter months, with whale sharks and other marine life offering visitors the chance to enjoy bucket-list experiences including snorkelling, diving, cruises and reef tours.

“While some areas continue to recover, many tourism operators across the Ningaloo region are open and ready to welcome visitors with safe, high-quality experiences,” Bullara Station owner Edwina Shallcross said.

Travellers heading to the region are advised that several campgrounds sustained damage during Cyclone Narelle. Nyinggulara National Park (formerly Ningaloo Station), 14 Mile Campground in the Nyinggulu Coastal Reserves, Cape Range National Park’s Boat Harbour and One K campgrounds, and RAC Exmouth Cape Holiday Park have been closed or partially closed, with reopening dates varying between sites.
