Ningaloo Dreaming
Epic downwind coaching, turquoise waters, marine life, and a legendary crew in Exmouth
Available spots
Service Description
The Location Western Australia’s coast is a natural wonder of coral reefs, rugged cliffs, and untouched islands. Exmouth, in the tropical North, has waters that teem with marine life. Famous for its red cliffs, white beaches, and powerful Indian Ocean swells, it offers some of the world’s premier downwind and paddling conditions. The Trip This journey focuses on downwind mastery. Depending on conditions, we’ll paddle both the ocean and gulf sides of the peninsula. Elite Coaching: Train with legends Dean Gardiner and Reece Baker to sharpen your ocean skills. Adaptive Schedule: We use calm days for exploring unpaddled beaches/ bay (with some diving/ surfing) and windy days for downwinders. Adventure: Push your limits in unique conditions, with optional downtime for a 'Swim with Whale Sharks' tour (extra cost). Your Coaches Dean Gardiner: A local legend with unparalleled knowledge of the North West. Dean’s relaxed style hides a wealth of experience gained from a lifetime on these waters. Reece Baker: An international downwinder, surf life saver, kayaker and allround waterman. Reece brings technical precision and a professional focus that perfectly balances Dean’s local intuition. Logistics Inclusions: Surf ski, lunches, drinks, and all daily transport. Exclusions: Flights and accommodation. We recommend staying in Exmouth (e.g., Osprey Holiday Village) from Trip One April 24 to May 2 - sold out Trip Two 24th to 31st August - Spots still Available What to Bring: Gear: Paddle, PFD, leg leash, VHF radio, and hydration bladder. Apparel: Sun-protective clothing, booties (for rocky entries), and warm layers for cool nights. Essentials: Sunscreen and a sense of adventure.
