Guaranteed to be a day you will never forget, this whale watching tour of Ningaloo Reef includes the opportunity to dive with the humback whales as they migrate through the area.

Lead by experienced crew members, you will be taken out to the Ningaloo Reef for eight hours of fun in the sun.

You will then head down to the jetty to board the large, comfortable vessel before going and exploring the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Ningaloo Reef.

Everyone on this tour has the opportunity to get in the water for a guided snorkel on the reef where you may see sharks, stingrays, turtles and hundreds of fish!
 

From here, you will head to the outer reef in search of humpbacks, and, with the help of a spotter plane, the supplier will locate the whales and observe them in their natural environment. They may breach, slap their pectoral fins or any other number of different surface behaviours, so get your camera ready!

If the pilot and skipper deem the whales to be exhibiting the right behaviour, an in-water interaction is possible. At this point, those who have signed up for a swimming spot will be gathered on the back deck and with the help of the pilot, skipper and waterproof radios, you will enter the water and swim as quickly (but quietly) as possible to see the whales.

The crew stay in constant communication with the pilot through their radios to help direct the group to get the best chance at an interaction. However, please note that humpback whales are highly intelligent creatures and you do not decide to swim with them, they decide to swim with you.

Important: Humpbacks are very curious creatures and they may swim right up to the passengers or they may swim past. An in-water interaction is defined as being in the water within the exclusive contact zone determined by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

While out on the outer reef, you may also spot other wildlife including whale sharks or manta rays, which you may have the opportunity to swim with! You never know what the Ningaloo Reef will have in store for you!

Once the in-water interactions are over, come back on the boat and enjoy a full lunch buffet. Once you have all filled your belly, and, time permitting, the group will head back over to a beautiful spot on the reef for the second snorkel of the day. After you have seen all that you can of the beautiful reef and all the wildlife out there, the group come back to land at approximately 4pm.
