Clarification
Please note that Ningaloo Whaleshark-n-Dive (NWD) chooses to share 'spotter aircraft' with other whale shark tour operators. This allows them to utilise multiple planes to search for whale sharks over greater distances and for longer periods of time. Operators who choose to participate in a 'sharing' system also 'share' any whale sharks located by the aircraft. This ensures that guests on each vessel have the best opportunity to interact with a whale shark, even on days when sightings may be lower than usual.
Requirements
If you can swim, you can snorkel with whalesharks – they are gentle giants. No age restrictions!

DEPARTS MONDAYS ONLY!
Day 1:
At 7am on day one the crew from Ningaloo Whaleshark n Dive will pick you up from your accommodation in Exmouth. From here you will be transferred to the west coast of the North West Cape where our superior dive vessel ‘Aliikai’ will be ready for boarding.
After a short safety briefing and introduction to the crew and other passengers, we will travel to our first dive site for the day, somewhere on the Ningaloo Reef. After the dive, enjoy morning tea and an in-depth Whaleshark Interaction briefing incorporating information on latest research involving Whale Sharks.
The plane will then start searching for Whalesharks, once spotted you will start your interaction with these gentle giants. The time that you spend with the whalesharks will depend on the sightings for the day!
At some stage we will sit down to a lovely buffet style lunch, consisting of cold meats and array of fresh salads. After lunch and when your whale shark activities have come to a close, there will be time to snorkel in the calm waters of the lagoon, or just sun bathe and reflect on the day so far!
Travel to the outer reef for your next dive. When the diving activities are finished the crew will cook an ‘Australian’ style barbeque of fresh Exmouth seafood.
After dinner enjoy a beverage and a presentation of the day’s footage taken by the professional videographer.
Day 2:
Start the day with a cooked breakfast. You will then travel to Dive Site 1. When the dive is completed you will spend the surface interval searching for wildlife on the outer reef, (often encounter manta rays and humpback whales in season)
After Dive 2, enjoy lunch with the crew, before travelling back to Tantabiddi Beach where your bus will be waiting to transfer you back to your accommodation in Exmouth.
