Whale Sharks are coming to Exmouth on the Ningaloo Reef!

We're gearing up for the 2010 Whale Shark Season so thought now would be a great time to revisit some of the basic information you will need to start making your holiday plans!

The whale shark season here on the Ningaloo Reef usually begins in the third or fourth week of March with the peak of the season running from late April through June. We typically see the end of the season in the third week of July.

Easter and April school holidays are the busiest time of year here on the Ningaloo Reef and it is important to prebook your tours and accommodation as far in advance as you can. Accommodation is already heavily booked and many room types are no longer available so if you are considering a visit from 2 - 18 April this year, we highly recommend that you make your bookings ASAP! Public holidays, long weekends and July school holidays are also extremely busy.

We offer Whale Shark Adventures every day of the season and everyone from 6 upwards is welcome! You do not need to be a certified diver to enjoy the whale sharks as all interaction with the whale sharks is done on snorkel here on the Ningaloo Reef.

Certified divers can also choose to do a single scuba dive on the Ningaloo Reef during our Whale Shark Adventures. We usually plan to do this dive first thing in the morning and complete it before the planes are in the air to begin their spotting duties. While the divers are down, our snorkellers can hop in and check out the reef, too! If we have been seeing whale sharks very early in the day, we may move this reef dive to later in the tour as we head back to the mooring. Our entire day is dictated by the whale sharks as our goal is to spend as much time as possible with them!

You can find out more information or make your booking now by ringing us on 08 9949 1201 or dropping us an email. We look forward to taking you out for an awesome experience with the mighty whale sharks of the Ningaloo Reef!
