Ningaloo Reef Whale Shark Tours

Ningaloo Reef Whale Shark Tours. Exmouth Tours

Just a few steps from the Ningaloo Reef. dive, snorkel or fish in clear turquoise waters and immerse yourself in marine life encounters.

Enjoy the pristine seas of Ningaloo Marine Park by stepping off one of the many white sandy beaches. Ningaloo Reef, which stretches more than 300 kilometers from the North West Cape to Red Bluff, is Australia’s largest and most accessible fringing coral reef.

The shallow lagoon, fringing reef, and deeper offshore waters provide a diverse range of habitats for a diverse array of colorful corals, over 500 species of fish, and globally important and threatened mega marine fauna such as whale sharks, turtles, dugongs, dolphins, manta rays, humpback whales, and orcas.

Whale sharks congregate in the marine park every year from March to early August. Tours that allow tourists to snorkel with these gentle giants depart from Tantabiddi and Coral Bay. For further information, go to the Ningaloo Visitor Centre.

Humpback Whales

Between June and October/November, enormous humpback whales make their annual migration back to Antarctica via the coasts of Australia. You may be able to spot them from the shores of Exmouth, but for a closer encounter, there are whale watching tours available from Coral Bay and Exmouth.

Manta Rays

One of the main natural attractions of this area are the graceful manta rays, which can be found in the waters surrounding the Ningaloo Reef all year round. However, they are more concentrated in numbers, and more willing to engage with snorkelers and divers from mid-May to mid-September. It’s possible to book tours specifically designed to swim or dive with the manta rays, so don’t miss out on meeting these graceful and otherworldly giants of the deep during your visit to the Ningaloo Reef.

Whale Sharks

The whale shark is the world’s largest fish, and Ningaloo Reef is one of the only places in the world where they can be observed in coastal waters. They feed in this area from March to August/September and it’s an unbelievable experience to come face-to-face with these incredibly huge creatures. Think we’re exaggerating? Whale Sharks on average measure at around 32 feet, however the largest ever recorded was 40 feet long!

Dugongs

Ningaloo has a healthy population of dugongs, which can be found at any time of year. This strange-looking creature is an herbivore and closely related to the manatee. They are classified as having an extremely vulnerable extinction risk and the Ningaloo Reef is one of the only places in the world to see them. Encountering a dugong is quite special, as they are extremely shy and elusive creatures.

Loggerhead Turtles

This gorgeous and vulnerable turtle is an endangered species which is currently protected by the Wildlife Conservation Act. They can be found nesting in the Muiron Islands, near the Ningaloo Marine Park, from October to early March. Hatchlings appear from December to April. It’s best to contact the Ningaloo Turtle Program to ensure viewing them responsibly.
