What we are about

Ningaloo Whaleshark Swim has two goals and they are to become one of Western Australia’s leading tourism businesses, and one of the leading whale shark tour operators in the world. Each day, by enabling visitors to dive the Ningaloo reef and interact with our phenomenal marine wildlife, we get one step closer to to achieving these goals. What are we about? Delighting entertaining and educating the public about the beautiful Ningaloo Reef and all its spectacular inhabitants. Read more.

What we are proud of

We’ve got a lot to be proud of here at Ningaloo Whaleshark Swim. We take great pride in supporting the local community of Exmouth and we strive to make a real difference and positive contribution with everything we do. Without the Ningaloo Region’s inhabitants (on land and in the sea), we wouldn’t be here and we wouldn’t be able to share these wonders with you. Read more.

Award Winning Certifications

We were the first whale shark tour operator to be awarded Ecotourism Certification, and we currently hold both EcoStar and Sustainable Tourism accreditations through the Australian Tourism Industry Council.

We’re honoured to have received these awards and certifications, which recognise our commitment to sustainability and professionalism in the way we operate our whale shark and humpback whale tours and run our business.

Our Boat

Our boat ‘Seazone’, one of Ningaloo Reef’s leading whale shark and humpback whale fleet vessels. Purpose-built for rugged sea conditions, this ‘Conquest’ vessel offers spacious comfort at 19 metres in length and 5.5 metres in width. Read more

Our Planes

If you want to swim with a whale shark guaranteed, then you’re going to need a spotter plane. Well, luckily we have our own spotter plane here at Ningaloo Whaleshark Swim (and we’re the only whale shark tour company in Exmouth to have our own one). Unlike almost every other operator, we don’t usually share spotter planes between boats. Instead our spotter plane finds our whale shark tour customers their very own whale shark to snorkel with. This means you can maximise the time you spend in the water actually snorkelling with a whale shark.
