Overview

Ningaloo Reef, off the coast of Exmouth, is home to the largest fish in the world - the Whale Shark - and seasonal Humpback Whales. This boat tour lasts about 6 to 7 hours and includes swimming or snorkeling with these marine giants or enjoying the reef views from the vessel. The tour departs from Exmouth aboard the 65-foot Ningaloo Blue, a two-level vessel featuring a covered lower deck with seating and easy water access, plus a spacious upper deck for observation and sunbathing. Guests have the option to swim with Whale Sharks from April through August or with Humpback Whales from September through November. The full-day trip includes lunch with a gourmet buffet comprising cold meats, bread, fresh salads, fruits, and refreshments. Morning tea with coffee and tea is also served. Snorkeling gear such as masks, snorkels, fins, and wetsuits are provided, including prescription masks upon request. The crew includes Whale Shark guides and videographers to capture the day (video service at extra cost). A safety zodiac boat remains in the water during snorkeling. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, as well as free photos and a complimentary gift pack with a certificate and beach bag. Spotter planes help locate the animals. If no Whale Shark is seen, guests may return for a free repeat trip.
