Jurien Bay: Home of Turquoise Safaris
​
Located north of Perth, Jurien Bay is 220 kilometres along Indian Ocean Drive. It is a serene fishing town with long stretches of beach and vibrantly coloured reefs teeming with marine life.
The thriving diversity of Jurien Bay’s marine life, its shallow water accessibility and turquoise clarity reveals a fascinating line-up of rainbow coloured fish, sponges and breathtaking corals. Protected by an arc of small islands and limestone reefs, Jurien Bay has some of the best snorkel spots you can find along the coast.
While the local fishermen of Jurien’s booming crayfishing industry head out for another catch, we are helping the next group on board for a sea lion tour. Spectacular snorkelling includes marine life explorations and plenty of opportunities for interaction with the very curious and sociable Australian Sea Lions.
