Ian was a phemononal tour guide. So knowledgeable about the area and you could tell he was doing this not because he took on a job as a tour guide but because he really loves doing it. He was really interested in the people on his tour and invested in conversation getting to know us throughout. He also didn't mind when I fell asleep on the car ride home (oops) and offered all the required equipment. We were in safe hands with Ian and never felt at all concerned about the heat, getting lost, etc.
Wearing trainers is fine but I underestimated how spikey some of the flora would be so use walking boots or leather trainers if you can (I didn't feel like I needed anything more to support my feet other than trainers, its just the spikey grass).
As for the activity itself, if you're looking to emerse yourself in the area then this is a must. Such a beautiful place. Lunch was tasty and filling and had a fabulous view from one of Ian's secret hideaway areas tucked within the national park. Ian's eyes are like that of a hawk when spotting animals so we saw so much flora and fauna in its natural habitat and got all the info about them.
As someone in their late 20s who does little exercise, it got a little tiring at the end, but was well worth it. As a pale person from the UK, suncream is definitely required. The heat without wind glares off the ground and really beats down on you as there is no shade anywhere. Didn't burn though and Ian will go at your pace and stop whenever you need water or a suncream top up.
The dip in the sea afterwards was a delight and we had our first encounter with the local reef fish here.
This was the first proper day of our holiday, and our anniversary and what a fantastic introduction to Ningaloo it was.
Thank you Ian!
