Consider this your sign to lock in that dream Coral Coast trip – there’s never been a better time.

The Western Australian government has launched a new travel voucher program offering 50 per cent off a range of tours in Exmouth, Coral Bay and Carnarvon. It aims to tempt travellers back after severe tropical Cyclone Narelle struck the region in March this year. 

Tourists will be able to choose from a range of tours and experiences that showcase the UNESCO World Heritage region’s remarkable natural and cultural values. Everything from bucket-list whale shark and manta swims, snorkelling and eco adventures, to scenic flights, stargazing tours and Aboriginal cultural experiences.  

The voucher program runs from 5 May until 30 June 2026 (or until sold out), with vouchers valid for use through to 30 November 2026. Visitors can redeem a discount value of up to $500. 

The Ningaloo Adventure Vouchers are part of the Cook Labor Government’s $1.45 million Cyclone Narelle Tourism Business Support Package, helping to drive tourists to the region. It aims to provide near-term support to local operators who have been affected not only by the recent cyclone – which hit at the start of peak whale shark season – but also by the ongoing effects of high fuel costs.

How to access the vouchers

To redeem the Ningaloo Adventure Vouchers, visit either the Western Australia Visitor Centre, Ningaloo Visitor Centre or Carnarvon Visitor Centre. Here, you’ll be asked to register personal details – including full name, email address and where you are from. Each successful applicant will receive a unique discount code up to the value of $500 you can apply at the time of booking the eligible tourism experience(s). 

The tour or experience must be booked through one of the three participating Visitor Information Centres either in person, online or by phone before 11:59pm on 30 June. If booking over phone or in person, don’t forget to mention the discount code. Ningaloo Adventure Vouchers cannot be redeemed directly with the tour operator.  

The discount must be redeemed in a single transaction – meaning any leftover ‘credit’ or ‘change’ cannot be used at a later date or during another booking.  

What if I’ve already booked?

The Ningaloo discount vouchers are only applicable to new bookings and cannot be applied to bookings made outside of 5 May to 30 June 2026. 

The initiative is a win-win. Local operators are getting much-needed support and tourists who have dreamed of travelling to WA’s Coral Coast have the perfect excuse to lock it in now.
