Whale Shark and Manta Ray Eco Tour - The Whale Shark season runs from April 1 through to July depending on the number of sightings. The best time to see a whale shark is in late April and all of May. This is usually when the largest numbers seem to congregate at Ningaloo. The smallest whale shark measured at Ningaloo was 3.5 meters, although they do grow as large as 16 meters they are generally between 5 – 12 meters. Our license permits only snorkeling with a whale shark, although dives on the Ningaloo Reef are popular, (if you are a licensed scuba diver). There is also a safety zodiac with the boat and snorkellers at all times. Venture III is a 15-meter single-hulled diving boat, which offers a full day tour to see Whale Sharks and Manta Rays in their natural environment. The vessel is run by the people that own it and they make sure that every effort is made to ensure you have the experience of a lifetime. If you are a nervous snorkeller and require some practice and reassurance, our crew will gladly help out, with all the special effort you would expect from a small company.
If you can swim and snorkel, you too can safely experience the excitement and wonder of swimming with the world's largest fish. If you can't snorkel, we can teach you. Manta and Humpback Whale Adventures - Nothing beats snorkelling or diving with wild manta rays! We also watch the visiting humpbacks as they come past the coast on their annual migration. Our comfortable vessels provide excellent viewing and photography platforms. During your tour we will also do a single reef site: divers and snorkellers are welcome! Whale Shark Snorkel and Dive Tour - From April through June/July the whale shark spectale takes over and the Ningaloo Reef becomes the world headquarters on this, the largest fish in the ocean. The coral spawning, usually taking place 7 - 10 days after the full moon in March and April, sets the stage for the arrival of the Giant Whale Shark. Divers and snorkellers alike travel from all corners of the globe to snorkel with these gentle giants as they cruise along the Ningaloo Reef feeding on plankton. Travel in comfort and style aboard one of our many vessels.. Let our PADI Professionals guide you throughout a fantastic day of Snorkelling, Optional scuba dive available, refreshments and meals available throughout the day to suit all tastes.

Our experienced crew will introduce to some of the most unspoilt regions of the Ningaloo Reef and Coral Bay is the perfect choice for snorkellers wishing to get beyond the beach. The season for whale shark tours from Ningaloo Reef Dive, Coral Bay, generally begins a little earlier in Coral Bay, so if you are visiting in late March/early April Ningaloo Reef Dive may be your best choice for this amazing experience! Whale Shark Snorkel and Dive Tour - This fish, the largest of the shark family and the largest fish in the world, is a harmless plankton eater. Reported to reach 18 metres (60ft) but averages 12 metres (40ft) in length, the whale shark is easily identified by its huge size, wide mouth and distinctive pattern of white spots. Thought to mainly inhabit worldwide temperate and tropical seas, it is rarely seen in shallow coastal waters, but is a daily visitor to the Ningaloo Reef every year between late March to June or July when up to 12 whale sharks have been spotted close to the reef feeding on the plankton in the nutrient rich waters. If you can swim and snorkel, you too can safely experience the excitement and wonder of swimming with the world's largest fish. If you can't snorkel, we can teach you.
