Whale Shark Tours – Ningaloo Whaleshark-N-Dive

  Diving into the world of the majestic depths of the Ningaloo Reef is an opportunity to meet incredible and harmless giants. A common excursion among holidaymakers is swimming with whale sharks . From May to September, entire colonies of huge fish swim to the shores of the Exmouth on Ningaloo Reef following migrating plankton and schools of small fish. They float almost on the surface, so you don't need to have special skills or equipment to dive. Journey to the ocean giants Whale sharks are amazing creatures, reaching 15 tons and up to 20 meters in length. The mouth of the massive specimen is dotted with six rows of teeth, their number reaches 15,000. But the teeth of this fish are too small to threaten large animals. Slowly swimming giant creatures become exotic entertainment, ignoring the people diving nearby. Together with the huge inhabitants of the ocean in the Gulf of Exmouth, manta rays are found. Their size is impressive - the width of the ind...

And we are again on the way to West Australia this time for a domestic tour. Over a couple of days, four of us were heading through the South to Perth before heading north to Exmouth. It was lucky to have been a warm day, with a fairly quiet seas, which significantly enhances the likelihood of seeing the sharks, that we booked long ahead of time for our cruise to Ningaloo. That is achieved by a spotter plane and on the cruise boat in two forms and 20 of our guests set off to the 60foot restored yacht "Highland Spirit," which was quite relaxed with five Ningaloo whaleshark N Dive crew (welcome to send them the free plug), but it was a tad frustration to skip Swimimmg with whale sharks in a whale hog on the newest Windcheetah catamaran, which is usually 55 feet long. We snorkeling between coral and coral reef for around 30 minutes but, above all, took the opportunity to check our snorkeling equipment and wetsuits, which were necessary (and compulsory) given th...

Since past years, whale shark tourism has exploded, although snorkeling is very real with tourist companies, you must have an awareness about the program. Here are a few things before s wimming with whale shark which must be added to the pool of your knowledge. WHALE SHARKS - LARGEST FISH Whale sharks are not really the whales instead they are the species of sharks that are categorized as fish. Whale sharks are the giant fishes in the world. They can grow up to a length of 40 feet long and weighs up to 20 tons and can survive till 100 years. Although they are massive in size, their brain is too small. FILTER FEEDERS The answer to the question that Can they bite? --- Is No. Whale sharks are the filter feeder and they are not the hunters, so there is no probability that they can bite you, even though they have teeth, their teeth are tiny that are not used for biting food as well. DIETARY HABITS Being a filter feeder, the choice of food of a whale shar...

A Humpback Whale Tour is an event that is somewhat distinct from a Whale Shark Tour. Their guests are always valuable not to book for them on the wrong trip. Although tour with whale-sharks serves people of all sizes, heights, and genders, humpback whale-friendly swimming is usually the more daring of us. A tour of the whale sharks is about swim with humpback whales and seeing the best of Ningaloo blue throughout the day. The whale shark tours season operates every year between 15 March and 15 September, and onwards if there are still enough whale sharks. A tour around the whale shark usually includes a group of swimmers of both abilities, who take their enjoyable voyage from the Ningaloo River. The sharks are always afraid of the swimmers around them and most passengers are generally able to keep up with their size. The swimmer might also spend up to an hour swimming with whale sharks and the performance rate of swimming with a whale shark is extremely large – wh...
