The whole experience was AMAZING. The crew were very informative & interactive. We were fortunate enough to see a range of sea life but swimming with the Whale Sharks was the most incredible thing I’ve ever done & would highly recommend it ❤️

We had a brilliant day on the reef and beyond seeing so much diverse marine life and being lucky to have 5 swims with a majestic whale shark. The crew were amazing - enthusiastic, knowledgeable, caring, patient and professional. In particular we want to thank Britt, Ayla and Ferg for the way they helped our nervous 9 year old to overcome his fear and swim with the whale shark. Your kindness, patience and kid-whispering skills were amazing and as a result, we could also enjoy our day too.

The whole crew (Dom, Bronte, Lilly and skipper Cole) were amazing & so knowledgeable. This was an incredible day, we saw humpbacks, turtles, pods of dolphins and about 7/8 whale sharks, along with the most incredible reef sharks at the reefs cleaning station. We were so lucky! Enjoyed every minute, thanks everyone.

Fantastic trip; saw and swam more times with the whale shark(s) than I would have imagined. My daughter said that this experience was worth every bit of the long trip to WA and Coral Bay.

Really wonderful experience with Ningaloo Marine Interactions, on their whale shark tour. Excellent guides, friendly and helpful. Super knowledgeable about whale sharks, the reef, and all its other occupants. Able to swim with whale shark three times over the day. Also able to swim with other sharks, many many turtles, lots of fish, and really great photographs taken as part of experience. Would go again, and would do another tour with this company.

Great day out with the crew who were really informative, fun and friendly. Took a little while to find a whale shark but we did in the end and ended up having 4 swims with him. Crew were great at getting everyone ready and lined up to get the best view with it and we got some great pictures and videos. Went to some awesome snorkelling sites aswell and saw lots of the reef, turtles and even spotted 2 whales during the day. The fact that the professional photos are included is also value for money. Great boat, great team and all up was a great day! Would definately recommend.
