Blue Holes, located just south of Kalbarri on the Coral Coast, is a protected Fish Habitat Protection Area where a unique limestone reef creates a series of calm, crystal-clear rock pools that function like a natural aquarium. The sheltered, shallow waters make this one of the safest snorkelling spots in WA, with more than 70 species of finfish, 11 species of coral, and 10 types of sponge to discover in the reef systems. Morning visits offer low winds and stunning sunlight illuminating the pools.

Low risk: Afternoon sea breeze
Strong afternoon winds pick up regularly, creating chop and reducing visibility; morning visits are recommended.
Low risk: Sharp limestone reef
The limestone reef has exposed jagged edges and platforms that can cause cuts and scrapes, especially at low tide.
Low risk: Tidal changes
Water levels in the pools change with the tide; low tide exposes platforms but reduces pool depth, while mid-tide connects pools more broadly.
