5.00We had an excellent day with Ningaloo Blue Swimming with the Whale Sharks. The experience exceeded our expectations. The Team of Skipper Brad, Deck Hand Fin, Photographer Miesa and Snorkel Guides Tash and Lucy were fantastic. They were welcoming and helpful and full of great information. The day ran smoothly from start to finish. We loved the chosen snorkel spots and we were very fortunate to see 3 different Whale Sharks, one of them circling and feeding during our swim. I highly recommend this tour, it is worth every cent for the once in a lifetime experience of swimming with whale sharks and Ningaloo Blue are a great company.
Unforgettable experience

5.00Totally fantastic day out on the ocran! The crew - Jake, Anna, Albert, Charlie and Nick were amazing. They were friendly, and guided us through all of the safety aspects of diving with whale sharks. They were also fun and very knowledgeable about the reef and the marine life that lives on and around it. I couldn't have asked for more.
