Ningaloo Whale Shark is an award-winning, eco-certified operator licensed to manage Whale Shark Swim Tours on the Beautiful Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth Western Australia! 

Swimming with a Whale Shark is a memorable once in a lifetime encounter that people come from all over the world to do. It is something on everyone's bucket list! Whale Sharks are the largest fish in the world growing up to a possible 18m long! Ningaloo Reef plays host to these wondrous animals every year from March till the end of July, it is the only place in the world where they gather so predictably and in such large numbers.

Whale Sharks are totally harmless to humans as they are filter feeders, feasting on plankton and other microscopic organisms. Here at Ningaloo Reef, we are so lucky to be able to enter the water with them on a daily basis and swim alongside as they cruise the reef. Swimming with a Whale Shark in their natural environment is an exceptional life-changing experience, one not to be taken for granted, and as such is attended with the utmost respect to the Whale Sharks. The crew will absolutely do everything possible to have guests swimming in the water with a Whale Shark! Whale Shark Swim tours at Exmouth are rated as the worlds best practice. We operate under extremely well-managed guidelines to ensure we can enjoy being in the water with them at minimal impact to the point where it is considered by experts all around the world that we don't actually impact on them at all!

The team are extremely experienced and passionate about interacting with these animals in a wonderful, respectful way and we want you to join us! This tour offers guests a Whale Shark experience onboard a very stable, spacious 60ft sailing catamaran, which provides a 360-degree viewing platform and the opportunity to lounge and relax on the comfortable day beds, bow nets and various seating spots while soaking up and enjoying the beauty of the Ningaloo Marine Park and all the amazing wildlife we may encounter. With the use of our very own spotter plane, our pilot will direct us to Whale Sharks and any other marine life spotted from above.

Your small group of 10 will enter the waters of Ningaloo Reef and swim with a Whale Shark. You will be in awe as you immerse yourself in this truly extraordinary experience.
