Port of Exmouth, Australia

[Kamfish642]

Princess just revised out cruise itinerary for March 2024 to replace the port call at Broome with Exmouth.  Any feedback on the port and/or excursions available in Exmouth based on past cruise experiences?

What a pity. Broome is amazing with a myriad of things to do However stopping at Exmouth gives you the opportunity to snorkel the Ningaloo Reef and/or swim with whale sharks. 

Google "Ningaloo shore excursions" to see what is on offer.

We were in Exmouth in the fall of 2022 on HAL. You tender to a marina type area. There was 1 shuttle that held 30 people to take passengers into town. There was a very long line in the hot sun waiting for the shuttle. Many people turned around and went back to the ship. We along with a few others decided to walk. Not my best idea. We stopped at a small aquarium and the shuttle was there. We jumped on and went back to the ship. A few friends went to the reef snorkeling. Some groups did Ok. We all decide that this port is not ready for cruise ships.

   We loved Broome. It is to bad that you will miss it, but that happens with cruising.
