5.00Really 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.
Loads of fun and a great experience!

5.00Great 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.

4.00Nature is unpredictable, but today the gods were in our favour. 1st snorket was to get aquainted and see the shark cleaning station. From there we travelled outside the reef, north and saw dolphins and minke and baird's whales. When the spotter plane caught up we were in the right area and most were able to get to swim with the whales 4 times. The swell wasnt everyones friend, but thats the luck of the draw. Its quick, exciting and a memory you will have forever. Thanks to the crew and skipper for a great day.

5.00I wish I could remember everyone’s name on the boat, including the crew Lilly,Brett Cole. and Karen in the office who made this trip happen after the cyclone threatened to obliterate this part of my trip.It was a truly magnificent experience. The reef they brought us to as q first stop was full of life (whereas the reefs on coral Bay offshore have been whited out after last year‘s heat wave). It was delightful to swim with a gray reef sharks and be amazed by the proliferation of beautiful coral, that I do not see inthe Florida keys ..I love the way the crew was as excited as they passengers to spot something unusual, including our one and only whale shark.. who was playing with us for much of the day … as soon as we got close he decided to dive deep. I personally did get to swim with the whale shark, and though brief it will be an experience I will live with forever. I came all the way across the world to do this - it’s was one of my many highlights while in Australia for three months -it’s a beautiful country with kind adventurous people,Aussie’s believe in conserving their environment and protecting oceans, and land -the national parks, including the Ningaloo Reef were pristine. Thank you so much to the crew and captain and the Aboriginal nation. My personal Best, Helen.
Brilliant life changing experience

5.00Fantastic. Had the best day out. The staff were so supportive, informative and the best fun. Had two great close encounters that were life changing. I also loved the reef snorkelling. I couldn't believe the range of sea life on the reef. Thanks guys. Love your respect for the ocean as well. The skipper was awesome too. I felt totally safe.

5.00Awesome day on and in the water alongside manta rays, humpback whales, dolphins, turtles, sharks and loads more. We spent significant amounts of time swimming with the manga rays and the group was kept to ~20 people and managed well. Knowledgeable guides who went out of their way to ensure we saw as much marine life as possible. Naomi, Britt and Sophie were absolute legends whether guiding us in the water, sharing their marine knowledge, photographing the experience, or feeding us - they worked all day to make it an unforgettable day. 🧜🏼♀️🌊🐬🐳🐠
