He took my breath away and I found it quite emotional 🥹 hubby loved it as much as me and our entire day was made complete once we swam with the Whale Shark.
Turtles, Humpback Whales and the best crew and guides. Thanks Josh, Tash, Sam and Captain Tye…… we may just see you all again.
Worth every penny and some 🥰🙏🙌😊 read less
The whales sharks were unreal! We started with a snorkel to test our gear and see the reef sharks, stingrays, fishies and coral. Then, out to the open water. We were lucky enough to get a shark almost straight away. So, they were very fair to ensure everyone was supported and got to swim with the shark. Also, we did it 3x which was amazing!!!! Then, as a bonus, we got to jump in the back reef where we saw a tiger shark! AH!
I HIGHLY recommend this. read less

The crew - Tash, Derrick, Zac, Bella and Sam - were extremely knowledgeable and friendly, making sure guests of all ages, backgrounds and abilities were looked after.
We could not recommend this tour highly enough! It was great value for money and was the highlight of our trip.

From start to finish, the crew were incredible – knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel completely safe while we swam alongside majestic whale sharks. We were also lucky enough to spot dugongs, octopus, squid, and vibrant coral – truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The day ran so smoothly, with pick-up and drop-off from the RAC Caravan Park, making it completely stress-free. It all ended perfectly with a champagne toast on the boat, the perfect finish to an amazing adventure.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Ningaloo – it’s an experience that leaves you in awe of nature. read less
