Swim with Humpback Whales or Whale Sharks
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Exmouth before heading to the harbour to board a catamaran which will bring us on a cruise along the Ningaloo Coast - a World Heritage Site which is also home to Australia's second largest reef.
We'll sail along the Ningaloo Coast, taking in the incredible views as we search for the giant sea creatures who inhabit these waters. As we wait for these creatures to make an appearance, we'll offer you a welcome tea on board!
If you elect to do this activity between March and September, we'll focus on whales, whereas if you do it between May and June, we'll look for sharks. Once we locate some of these creatures, we'll jump into the water and attempt to snorkel alongside them. Put on your snorkelling mask and dive in!
Once we have found our new friends, we put on our snorkel masks and snorkelling gear and dive down to see them up close in their natural habitat - an unforgettable experience!
Depending on the sea conditions, we'll be able to snorkel in one or two spots. In addition, during the activity, we may also encounter manta rays, dolphins, sea turtles, dugongs and other creatures that inhabit these waters, so keep your eyes peeled!
We'll regain our strength with a wholesome buffet lunch on board. The menu also includes coffee, tea and water.
After 8 hours of activity, we'll say our goodbyes back at your hotel.
