Join an unforgettable experience of a lifetime for a chance to swim with the biggest fish in the sea, the majestic Whale Sharks.

Ningaloo's whale shark season is between March and June. During these four months, the migrating whale sharks inhabit Australian waters due to the reef's annual coral spawning. This fantastic event transforms the pristine coastal waters from Exmouth to Coral Bay into colourful clouds. The coral spawning attracts the whale sharks' favourite foods, krill and plankton, which in turn draws the whale sharks to the Ningaloo Reef.

Your tour begins at 7:30 am at the meeting point, where you'll be transferred to the jetty to board the vessel. Then, you'll head out for your first reef snorkel experience in the beautiful coral gardens, where you may encounter numerous fish, reef sharks, and other marine species.

After morning tea, begin your journey to the outer reef. By this time, the spotter plane is already searching for the whale sharks and informing the crew of any other exciting marine life spotted along the way! The team will do their best to allow you to experience as much wildlife as possible during this tour. 

Once the spotter plane has found a whale shark, the boat will make its way there. Guests will be split into two groups of 10 and take turns swimming with the whale sharks. To ensure that this experience doesn't disturb the natural habits, the tour is allowed a maximum of one hour of swimming time with the whale sharks.

Stop along the way home for a second reef snorkel at a different site. Finally, celebrate with a glass of sparkling wine and a fruit platter to finish the day.

The crew photographer will be taking photos and/or video footage of your adventure, which will be available for purchase on a USB for an additional cost at the end of the tour.
