Ningaloo Reef is a special place at any time of the year. However, if you want to specifically encounter Whale Sharks or other marine life then there are seasons that will maximize your chance of seeing these creatures. Whale sharks visit Ningaloo Reef from March/April to July/August and Humpback Whales will commence their migration along the coastline from June to October. 

Humpback Whales will begin their migration along our coastline generally between June – October. With an estimated 30, 000 whales making this journey, there are plenty of opportunities to see them during tours within this period.  

Throughout the season, The Operator is able to offer our Whale Shark Humpback Whale Eco Tour participants the opportunity to enter the water with Humpback Whales. Our professionally trained staff will determine on the day whether conditions are suitable in order for passengers to enter the water with a Humpback Whale. While every effort is made to provide you with the opportunity to see and interact with wildlife, The Operator cannot guarantee nature. Passenger safety is the first priority so if the behaviour of the Humpback Whales or conditions are not suitable on the day then interactions will be from the vessel rather than in the water.

Should you not be successful in completing a Humpback Whale swim during your first tour, The Operator is able to offer you a second tour at a discounted rate should you wish for a second attempt.
