Journey Beyond has expanded its Australian experiential tourism offering with the acquisition of Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo (Exmouth Dive Centre), deepening its presence in Western Australia and reinforcing its commitment to memorable, immersive experiences.
As a long-standing partner of Sal Salis Ningaloo, Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo is renowned for its guided swims alongside whale sharks and humpback whales. These once-in-a-lifetime encounters offer guests a rare opportunity to connect intimately with these majestic creatures—experiences unique to this pristine region of Ningaloo.
Seamless integration and enhanced offerings
Under the leadership of Journey Beyond’s Marine Division General Manager, Niko Peranovic, the Exmouth Dive Centre will seamlessly integrate into the group’s operations once regulatory approvals are secured. This integration enables Journey Beyond to provide end-to-end marine experiences, complementing Sal Salis itineraries and enhancing Exmouth’s appeal as a fully immersive tourist destination.
Expanding Australia’s experiential travel landscape
Chris Tallent, CEO of Journey Beyond, welcomed the acquisition as a strategic move aligned with the company’s mission to deliver “authentic and uniquely Australian” experiences. Journey Beyond sales and partnerships leader Alicia Triggs emphasised how the acquisition aligns with the group’s aim to take guests “beyond” on extraordinary wildlife and cultural adventures.
