We use a designated spotter aircraft to assist us in finding where whale sharks are and allow us to choose the best Whale shark to interact with on the day.

Whale sharks are generally slow-moving filter feeders, which are often found at the surface feeding or basking in the sun. These gentle giants can grow up to a whopping 18 metres and can live over 100 years. They themselves are ocean explorers, visiting Ningaloo during Autumn to feast on the seasonal bounty of rich plankton swarms. Swimming with these incredible creatures can be a cosmic experience with their striking patterns resembling a galaxy as they swim through cobalt waters. This experience will truly be with you for years to come. 

Our Whale shark Odyssey incorporates not only the star of the show but its environment and all of the critters within it. We aim to show you the absolute best of Ningaloo reef and explain the reasons that Whale sharks visit. 

During the day you will snorkel amongst spectacularly diverse coral gardens, laden with tropical fish and abundant life, where your understanding of Coral Reef ecology will begin. Habitat diversity within the lagoon leads to a rich diversity of resident megafauna which we will interact with whenever opportunity presents. Whilst whale sharks are our priority on this odyssey, we will make the most of all opportunities to search for turtles, dolphins, dugong, benthic rays, sharks and manta rays that call the Ningaloo Reef home.

We pride ourselves on delivering you a memorable and informative day on the Ningaloo Reef, hoping to inspire a greater respect of all the animals that visit the reef and a better understanding on why the Ningaloo reef was listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 2011.
