Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef receive worthy recognition this week in Tripadvisor and Wotif awards
Ningaloo
World Heritage Area received significant international recognition,
with both Tripadvisor and Wotif announcing destination awards. Tripadvisor announced the winners of their annual Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Awards, with particular attention given to Australia when it comes to naming the world's best beaches. Turquoise Bay in Australia's Coral Coast was rated the sixth best beach in the world, and second best in the South Pacific. Located 45 minutes' drive from Exmouth in the Cape Range National Park, and edging the iconic Ningaloo Reef,
the bay is widely regarded as one of the most pristine in the country.
It's a popular spot for snorkelling, particularly due to it being the
location for the world's largest fringing reef, densely populated by
tropical fish, manta rays, humpbacks and turtles. Exmouth has come in at eighth place in Wotif.com's 2021 Aussie Town of the Year Awards, and is the only Western Australian town to
make the list. These annual awards recognise some of Australia's best
destinations, based on their "accommodation quality, affordability and
traveller satisfaction". This year, the awards also acknowledged
destinations that have met the changing needs of travellers over the
past 12 months by "offering increased flexibility, good-value deals and
appealing activities and attractions". Exmouth was recognised for its
diving experiences on the Ningaloo Reef and breathtaking canyons and
wildflowers in Cape Range National Park. Qantas fly between Perth Airport and Exmouth's Learmonth Airport, or travellers can road trip along the Coral Coast Highway between Perth and Exmouth to discover all of the wonders that the Coral Coast region has to offer. |

Nihi Sumba - Horse's Paradise Amongst the Waves
Just less than an hour from Bali, NIHI Sumba, awarded the No. 1 Hotel
in the World voted by Travel + Leisure in 2016 and 2017 and
consistently among the top hotels worldwide, is renowned for the natural
beauty of its remote location, providing a stunning environment and
world-class facilities for equestrian activities, including horse
whispering and horse surfing at the resort's own stables. Each
morning horses are released from Sandalwood stables to gallop freely
along the 2.5km beach and swim in the sea. It is a truly awesome sight
and in 2021 NIHI is renewing the invitation to its guests to be part of
the herd and develop a deeper connection with the horses and with
themselves. The people of Sumba believe their soul is connected to the
horse and the horse is “The Soul of Sumba.” Horses are highly
intelligent and majestic creatures and play an important role in
Sumbanese culture and human therapy work worldwide. They have been used
for therapeutic purposes since the time of the ancient Greeks when
Greek physician Hippocrates, known as the "Father of Medicine," wrote
about the therapeutic potential of horseback riding and where better to
experience this than the wild beach of Nihiwatu. Horses
require peace and a sense of calm when handling and under the guidance
of horse whisper Carol Sharpe Nihi guests are invited to soften their
steps and be absorbed by the innate wisdom and soothing nature of the
horse. Whether you are a passionate horseperson or simply a lover of
nature and wildlife, this new invitation will open your eyes to the
beauty of Sumba's most famous wild residents. Groundwork and Riding Experience:
Horses look for strong leadership within their herd and Nihi invite you
to be part of this special relationship by learning how to guide your
horse with purely your voice and energy. Fully immerse yourself in the
interactive activities to reveal a greater understanding of
interpersonal dynamics through the eyes of a horse - resulting in an
incredible sense of empowerment and self-confidence. https://nihi.com/sumba/experiences/land/sandalwood-stables
