Quad treks from Coral Bay

Coastal Adventure Tours publishes guided quad treks in Coral Bay. The operator describes them as rides through the dunes to lookouts, with a chance to see turtles. There are turtle variants, a variant with snorkelling and sunset trips.

The offer is advertised with booking links, but a listing does not confirm free places, and a tour on a given day is not confirmed here. Ask the operator before you plan around it. No trip promises turtles, and no nest visit is offered in the listing.

Who can ride

Rules from the operator's pages.

Driving licence

You need a valid P-plate or full licence. A learner permit is not accepted. Show it at the start. The driver and the passenger may not swap on the way.

Clothing and language

Wear closed shoes. You must understand the safety instructions, which are given in English.

Weight

The combined weight of the people on one vehicle may not be more than 200 kg.

Children

The product page asks for a passenger older than 5 and at least 110 cm tall. The terms and conditions group children as 5 to 17 and adults from 17. These ages overlap, and the limit at exactly 5 is not clear. Ask the operator about your child's age before you book. No minimum age for drivers beyond the licence rule is stated.

Booking fees

Charges that apply to this operator only.

Online

A booking fee of 1.5 percent applies online, and it is not refundable.

In the shop

Paying by credit card in the shop adds 1.2 percent. An EFTPOS payment adds A$0.30.

GST

According to the terms, prices include GST.

These fees come from one operator's terms. Do not assume that they apply to other companies.

Turtles and the coast

What to expect.

The park agency names February and March as the months to see hatchlings along the Ningaloo coast. That does not mean you will see a hatching on a given day on a Coral Bay beach. Operators who watch turtles on land keep at least 15 m away, do not handle hatchlings and do not shine torches at them, according to the operator handbook in force from April 2026.

You cannot bring your own quad to this coast. Private, unlicensed quads and ATVs are prohibited in the Warroora Coast reserve. See the Warroora Station guide for the tracks, the closure notice and the camping rules there.

Choosing a departure

Heat and light.

Morning or midday

The listing gives departures at 9:00 and 12:30. Long-term average highs at Learmonth Airport, a regional comparison station and not Coral Bay, are 33.0 °C in October and 37.1 °C in December. A midday start in the hot months is the hottest part of the day.

Sunset

The sunset trip starts later, and the time changes with the season. Ask when it leaves on your date.

What to bring

Closed shoes, your licence and sun protection. A snorkel variant needs swimwear as well.

If plans change

Open tracks and weather can change a trip. Ask the operator how it handles a cancelled day before you pay.
