Ningaloo Discovery Whale Shark Tours Reviews

The experience of a lifetime. Best tour in Australia!!!!
This has been on our bucket list for 10+ years and we couldn't have had a better time. From the moment we were picked up, staff were friendly and full of knowledge and excitement. We had 3 INCREDIBLE swims with 2 different Whale Sharks as well as 2 snorkelling experiences (one with Manta Rays!!). Thank you Dickie the skipper for finding us the Big 3! We must have seen 25+ Humpback whales, many of which were breaching close to the boat, as well as 2 baby Hammerheads. We will never forget our day. Also a huge thank you to Derek our amazing in water guide, and Caitlin for your wonderful knowledge and passion, and capturing our day so perfectly - it is so special to have photos to take away and remember the day forever. To anyone thinking about doing this tour - do it! It will be the best money you will spend.

Schwimmen mit einem Walhai 🩵
Was für eine tolle Tour mit Ningaloo Discovery 🤩. Wir wurden vom Campingplatz direkt abgeholt. Das Staff Team war stets freundlich und suchte immer den Zugang zu den Gästen. Absolut zu empfehlen. Uns wurden viele schöne wertvolle Dinge über Exmouth sowie über das wunderschöne Ningaloo Reef mit seinen Bewohnern erzählt und näher gebracht. Das Essen und die Getränke waren sehr gut an Bord. Die Tour mit dem Katamaran war etwas ganz besonderes. Und dann wurde unser großer Traum erfüllt - wir konnten ins Wasser mit einem Walhai 🩵. Ein unvergesslicher Moment für uns. Was uns außerdem besonders gut gefiel war das die Interaktion mit den Walhaien ruhig und geordnet organisiert wurde. Die Tiere und das Meer haben hier die höchste Priorität. Absolut 💯🥰. Also wer einen unvergesslichen Tag am Ningaloo reef haben möchte ist hier absolut richtig 💙

Unforgettable ❤️
My experience with the whale shark boat tour on the "Windcheetah"was phenomenal! From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, safe, and filled with unforgettable moments. Booking the tour was straight forward, and the staff provided clear instructions on what to bring and what to expect. They emphasised the importance of eco-friendly practices, which I appreciated. The day began early, with a friendly and knowledgeable crew welcoming us aboard. We were briefed on safety protocols and given insights into whale shark behaviour. The boat was clean, spacious, and equipped with all necessary amenities. Seeing the whale sharks up close was beyond words. The crew ensured that everyone had a chance to swim with these gentle giants while maintaining a respectful distance. Their expertise in locating the whale sharks and guiding us in the water was impressive. We felt safe and well-informed throughout the experience. An added bonus was seeing Orcas and Humpback Whales up and close. Highly recommended when in Exmouth 👌

Awesome, magical, chance of a lifetime - bucket list ✅ Eastman family travels 2024 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
We had a fantastic day on the Catamaran Discovery, 3 whale shark swims which were absolutely breathtaking. Such majestic gentle giants. We also saw lots of humpbacks, 2 Dugong, some dolphins, turtles & a Hammerhead (we think!) and of course beautiful coral & fish. The crew were amazing, big shout out to Michaela who was so patient with our youngest encouraging him at every opportunity & taking him under her wing literally! Thank you! Also to Derek for helping me out (literally) when I was so exhausted after 3 whale shark swims & a long snorkel in the inner reef. Caitlin’s photos are absolutely stunning and her chats on the bus there & back were so interesting too. Everyone was so friendly & smiley and the food was fantastic too. Would 100% recommend, the crew are great helping all ages & abilities, you just need reasonable swimming ability and a lot of nerve!

Great crew and experience! Highly recommend
Fantastic crew and experience. We got the chance to swim with four whale sharks and see multiple humpback whales breaching! The crew led by Skipper Dickie were great fun, super hospitable and provided an amazing day for us as well as some awesome professional photos by Tash which we got free of charge!

Experience and amazing crew 🤩🤩
An amazing day with Ningaloo Discovery. We had the chance to swim 4 times with the whale sharks, it was magical. Even our 6-year-old son was able to enjoy it to the fullest 🤩 The crew is really great, very attentive and friendly, lots of information given about marine animals. A big thank you!

Unforgettable - totally recommend
Our family of 2 adults and 2 teenagers (16 & 13) did the catamaran tour on Monday. It was just the best. Wonderful staff of Lizzie, Nicole, Tash, Ryder and Toby. It was a bit choppy out there but we were so fortunate to have multiple swims. We booked the catamaran to help with motion sickness and were so pleased we did. Plenty of space and fresh air. Despite the distance we travelled to find the whale sharks, Lizzie still stopped the boat on the way home when we were treated to a tremendous multiple breaching display by a very active humpback. Thanks for everything guys.

A dream come true and worth every penny!
Absolutely phenomenal experience! Worth every penny. The staff were all so friendly, helpful and professional from the moment they picked us up to the moment they dropped us off. The skipper did an amazing job getting us close to the sharks and minimizing the waves. Everyone on board was very conservation oriented and respectful of the whalesharks. Thank you, Caitlin for awesome photos!

11/10 recommend
We had the most amazing day. From the moment we were picked up we were already enjoying our time and learning heaps about the area. We were lucky enough to see the one beautiful shark and get to swim with it three times. The entire crew made our day so special. The enthusiasm and zest for life and passion for the beautiful animals we got to see made our day. The whole crew were extremely knowledgeable and helped nervous members of our group feel comfortable. I never appreciated the effort and coordination that goes into helping us experience the beauty of these amazing animals and the reef. Thank you to Derek, Tash, Nicole, Lizzy and Sam for making our day truly unforgettable.
