Humpback whale season in Coral Bay begins at the end of June and runs through to mid-October. During this time it is estimated that around 30,000 whales pass through the Ningaloo Reef on their annual migration, making it the perfect opportunity to interact with them in their natural environment. This full-day tour begins with a snorkel on the beautiful reef where you may encounter turtles, reef sharks, stingrays and other colourful fish. You will then make your way out to the open ocean where a spotter plan and drone are used to search for whales frolicking in their playground. Under the instruction of your guides, you will take turns entering the water and waiting at a safe distance for the whales to approach you on their own terms. You will then go on to return to the reef for lunch and a final snorkel before your return trip back to the jetty where you will be offered champagne and a fruit platter to wind up your exciting day in style.
