Ningaloo Whale Shark Swim & Eco Tour on a Powerboat (shoulder season)**

Whale Shark Swim & Eco Tour on a Powerboat - Shoulder Season - August, September, October

Whale sharks are frequent visitors to the Ningaloo Reef, even after the official whale shark season is over.

Your day includes the opportunity to snorkel the reef AND if the opportunity presents itself to swim with a Whale Shark or a Humpback Whale. We also often encounter manta rays and do our best to get you in for a swim with these inquisitive and majestic creatures. 

The Ningaloo Reef is alive with marine wildlife during the month of August and on any given day Mother Nature may present the opportunity to view or swim with whale sharks, humpback whales, manta rays, turtles, dugongs, dolphins and a huge variety of tropical fish and corals.

We offer guests the most stable and comfortable viewing platforms to view and interact with this wildlife from the decks of our 56ft luxuriously appointed Powerboat. Join us for a day out on “Investigator” as we steam through the shallow turquoise lagoons and along the back of the stunning Ningaloo Reef whilst stopping to take advantage of whatever spectacular wildlife comes our way.

Please note at this time of year we do not provide guarantees of any specific marine megafauna, however we do always do our very best to find our guests a whale shark or a humpback whale to interact with.

Our amazing itinerary for the day:

- Starting from 7:45am, you will be picked up from your accommodation and taken out to our vessel where you will be greeted by our friendly crew and fitted with masks, snorkels, fins and wetsuits. 

- Moments later immerse yourself in the crystal clear waters of Ningaloo Reef at one of our beautiful snorkel spots in the sheltered lagoon. Here you will see an array of corals and colourful fish, sometimes even turtles and rays! Take this time to ask questions, get snorkelling tips, make sure your gear fits and practice getting on and off the boat before swimming with any marine life.

- Now you can enjoy morning tea as our plane gets searching for any marine life in the area, anything the pilot finds, we will get you up close with the boat to observe.  If a Humpback Whale, Whale Shark or Manta Ray is spotted the pilot, skipper and crew will asses the conditions and if deemed suitable, guests will be directed to put their snorkel gear on and we will do our best to get you interacting with them in the water!

- Enjoy a delicious buffet lunch as we cruise the reef in search of any other wildlife that may be around on the day. 

- Now we head back inside the lagoon where the water is turquoise blue and anchor up at a new special spot on the reef for another snorkel. 

- Relax with some refreshing afternoon tea and a glass of sparkling wine on our way back to shore before the crew return you safe and sound and full of smiles back to your accomodation. 

- The experience lives on as we will provide you will all the photos of the day taken by our professional photographer free of charge!!!
