What you can expect
Spend a full day out on the crystal-clear waters of Ningaloo Reef, with the unforgettable chance to swim alongside a whale shark in its natural habitat. You’ll start with a snorkel at a vibrant reef site, where turtles, stingrays, reef sharks and colourful fish can drift through coral gardens beneath you.
From there, the crew heads to the outer reef to locate the whale sharks. When it’s your turn, you’ll slip into the water with your guide and swim nearby as this gentle giant glides past. To help protect the animals, your total time in the water with the whale sharks is limited to one hour. On the way back, you’ll enjoy a final reef snorkel, plus a tasty lunch, morning and afternoon tea, and hot and cold drinks throughout the day. Wrap it up with a glass of champagne and a fresh fruit platter to celebrate.
