Humpback Whales Interaction (Swimmer)

Step aboard Ningaloo Blue, a spacious 65-foot, two-storey vessel built for a seriously comfortable day on the water. Settle into the shaded lower deck, wander up top for reef views, and enjoy easy access to the water from the marlin board as you head out across the blue to explore the Ningaloo Reef off Exmouth. With a professional crew, spotter planes overhead and a safety zodiac close by, you’ll be in good hands from the first briefing to the last glide back to shore.

From August through to the end of October, this is your chance to snorkel, swim and share the water with humpback whales when conditions and wildlife behaviour allow. Keep an eye out for manta rays and other marine life too, then dry off with morning tea, a gourmet buffet lunch and a chilled drink on deck. It’s a big day, but an easy one — the kind you’ll talk about long after you’ve headed home. If you’ve been keen to meet the Ningaloo in style, this is the one to book.
