[@guydraper]

What a ripper looking spot……agree that it has to be on the list and will plan an extended stay. Simon’s excitement about the turtle and Harrison was so chilled…….classic kids ! 😂😂😂

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers, Guy. It takes a lot to impress them sometimes, and then sometimes nothing at all 😂

[@PeteWilsonAHCPhotography]

What an amazing episode. I have never seen this as up close and as real as you guys have filmed it. Your film work is exceptional as a family unit.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks mate, appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@pamforman3333]

So exciting to both Harrison and James enjoying the snorkelling! Wonderful place for you all to enjoy.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks, Pam. It was an awesome experience for all of us!

[@pamforman3333]

Yes so close to those turtles! Yes Simon you are used to the beard and whatever works for you two is the main thing, certainly not appearances! No doubt the beard is back lol!

[@grahamjones504]

Awesome episode guys, fantastic underwater footage.👍👍

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Glad you enjoyed it, cheers Graham 👍

Great area and part of Oz- Come on guys you need to catch up with the vid timelines to be only a couple of weeks behind !! No beard ha ha ha - thought the mrs had traded you in on a 30 year old backpacker !! Lol 😂 How is the Zone going for you guys.. we are waiting to see their new hybrid camper but apparently still going thru design agreements .. cheers keep them coming

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers Tony. Do you want to come and give me a hand editing to catch up? 😂 We're loving the Zone and also keen to see the new Expedition!

[@stuartkent383]

I learnt something the other day. When corals are bright vivid colors, it means they are under environmental stress. These corals look healthy. Lots of happy fish chilling.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing. It seemed like a very healthy system there.

[@pamforman3333]

Yes totally agree that Simon looks much younger without a beard.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It's too much work shaving 😄

[@janinehilton6539]

Just WOW! Fantastic episode guys.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks so much Janine.

[@andrewleaver8318]

Great vid guys. Loved showing Simon my fav snorkeling spot on earth 🤙🙏

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Mine too! Thanks, Budgie! You really helped to make our stay at Winderabandi so special. We look forward to crossing paths with you again some day.

[@markedwards8788]

Awesome episode guys - thanks for sharing!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks for watching!

[@leannedecampo8110]

MAGIC!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It sure is!

[@coreygooch813]

Wow……..what an awesome vid guys. What a wonderful place, hope to see it for ourselves later this year 🍻

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks so much. You'll love it!

[@trungtran2598]

That was amazing! It's got to be our next beach holiday now. So many good pointers and ideas. Just wow. Thank you. Beautiful family too btw.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

You are so welcome! It's an amazing place!

[@taliahunt3213]

Great footage! I recently found your channel from your weights video, and sitting back with a cuppa watching this video is so relaxing. We’ve been so uptight comparing caravans, going through all the pre-purchase comparisons, weight calculations etc and I think tonight I’m going to re-watch this with hubby and kick back instead. What an amazing spot 👌

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

That's awesome Talia, thanks 🙌. You might enjoy some of our other vids as well 😉👍

[@jacquibowen7084]

Great video looks great over there well done.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Cheers, Jacqui. It's incredible.

[@ramblerebel1]

That was amazing. Can't wait to make our way up there. House has sold and leaving in 4 weeks. Hope to see you guys on the road somewhere. Another great episode thanks heaps. Cheers Jerome

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Exciting times, Jerome! Enjoy your travels... see you out there!

[@robyndehavilland1609]

What a beautiful episode. Your underwater footage was mesmerizing and I felt like I was there 🤩. Such an insanely beautiful part of our country, I loved my time there. WA just keeps on giving ❤️

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

That's awesome, Robyn. So glad you enjoyed it 👊

[@jenniferbarbour5536]

Absolutely brilliant!! Awesome to see the kids snorkelling so confidently & competently...especially Harrison stroking the turtle, amazing! PS: roll on December much prefer the beard😄

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Couldn't agree more! It was a special experience. All good, the beard is back...😉

[@KylieJFirth]

Wow what an amazing part of the world. It is high on my bucket list as well. How lucky was Harrison to be able to pat a turtle. Great episode. Keep up the good work.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Yes it was! He still talks about it! Thanks, Kylie.

[@theweekendwarriorph]

This is such a heart-warming and wholesome episode. And Ningaloo is beeeeeeeeyutiful! I just discovered your channel. New subscriber here! Cyah around!

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks and welcome!

[@davidreader3198]

A great video displaying a wonderful place. You look like years younger without the beard. Keep up the good work and best wishes from Rotorua New Zealand

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thank you! Will do!

[@leecousins5440]

Great experience for all the family. Great underwater shots ❤

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

The best! Thanks, Lee

[@saritareimers5675]

Absolutely beautiful episode !! Thank you 😊 The boys did so well.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Sarita

[@snoordman04]

AB-SO-LUTE-LY a stunning episode!! thanks again guys for taking us along and all the effort of making these.. cheers guys 🤙🏼

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the support 👍

[@cherylrayes8015]

Another great episode. Amazingly Ive just watched my friend swim with the whale sharks ( real time) on fb, so it was lovely to see your episode at a later time of year. Exmouth is on my bucket list then I will have been to the 4 furtherest compass points in our great country. I think I need a noodle for snorkling lol....

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Amazing! That's on our list for sure. Thanks, Cheryl

[@zekesteggall2176]

Come to Jindabyne you’ll be able to snow kite in the morning and kite or wing foil on the lake in the afternoon 👍👍👍

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We love Jindy!

[@TheSpud1964]

OMG we can’t think of anything to say that doesn’t start with WOW amazing video beautiful spot. The underwater footage was incredible (what type of camera setup did you use). Keep the great content coming looking forward to your next adventure.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks so much guys, Apppreciate the feedback and support. We used a Go-pro 9 for the underwater stuff. 👍

[@lynschostakowski8819]

Wow that snorkelling was insane. Just wondering who the young clean shaven fella was? With your hair up looks very young. Oh its Simon.lol

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

😂 I know, right? Simon got 10 years younger. Glad you enjoyed the underwater footage.

[@leealdous4609]

oh wow I am speechless what an amazing video thank you oh by the way what snorkel etc would you recommend?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks, Lee. Glad you enjoyed it. You get what you pay for when it comes to masks and snorkels. How much you spend depends a bit on how much you'll use it. Don't get the cheapies, they're not great.

[@johnsharman6735]

Did you do the drift at Torquoise (to the left when you drive in)? Looks like you just do the bay. A lot more marine life and coral around there. Great vid 👍

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

We gave the drift a miss because it was a little tricky with the kids but we heard it was amazing. Cheers

[@stuartkent383]

Yeah. Really easy. I would have just put a jacket on the kids and a tether. Sweeps along swiftly anda few good things to see. One of my highlights.

[@Journey_and_Destination]

One of your best episodes, loved it, many thanks, but how come you're 7 and a half months behind in broadcasting it?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Thanks Paul! We generated so much incredible content during our travels that we fell further and further behind real-time. We've taken a break from filming the past few months and we're working hard to catch up but we didn't want you guys to miss out on anything!

[@scruffy_cockatoo]

Just wondering if this is now a new common thing that Dads in Australia becoming KZbinrs? If so, I will start that as well because I am going to Exmouth in 3 weeks 😜

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

I'm not sure mate, but you're more than welcome to join us! 😂👊

[@ronhughes1805]

What a great video. The photography was stunning thank you for the upload. Hopefully the gas pipeline will not go ahead as it would have severely damaged the reef. Safe travels.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

I hope so too! Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍

[@ronhughes1805]

@@TheLifestylePioneers oh and such a magic swimming interaction with the turtle.

[@catempirerox]

keen as custard is a way better phrase

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It's catching on 😂

[@stuartkent383]

QLD vs Ningaloo?

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

It's hard to beat Ningaloo for access. No crocs, snorkelling straight off the beach 👍

[@stuartkent383]

@@TheLifestylePioneers I'm in Mackay at the moment. Sand Flies, nasty jellyfish, snappy handbags, 5mt tides so usually 300mt walk on sand flats to get to waist deep silt water, no snorkeling without a big boat trip. Not whinging, just saying Ningaloo has everything and accessable to anyone. Hands Down. So homesick.

[@johnmathisen1167]

A bit out of date? Because I believe that the last time that I saw your mob was in Queensland.

[@TheLifestylePioneers]

Yeah, this was in November last year. We're in FNQ at the moment
