Embark on the adventure of a lifetime with this exciting and relaxing drive along the breathtaking coast
Step aboard Investigator — a spacious vessel whose friendly crew will greet you and assist with fitting snorkels, masks, fins, and wetsuits to ensure everyone is comfortable and ready for the experience ahead.
Begin with a snorkeling session at one of Ningaloo Reef's beautiful lagoon spots, exploring vibrant coral gardens teeming with colorful fish, rays, and turtles. This is an ideal opportunity to practice your snorkeling techniques. For those who need extra assistance, floating noodles are available, and the expert guides are on hand to offer support.
After the snorkeling adventure, a morning tea or coffee is served while a spotter plane searches for the iconic whale sharks. Once a whale shark is located, small groups will be guided into the water for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim alongside these gentle giants. These majestic creatures, which can range from 12 to 38 feet long (4 to 12 m), with some growing up to 59 feet (18 m), glide gracefully through the ocean, offering an unforgettable experience.
Back on the boat, enjoy a buffet lunch while cruising through the reef, where there's a chance to spot other incredible marine life such as manta rays, dolphins, turtles, dugongs, and even humpback whales.
As the tour winds down, relax and enjoy an afternoon tea or coffee, complete with a glass of sparkling wine, while taking in the stunning coastal views.
