Magical day at Ningaloo!
What a brilliant day we had with Ningaloo Discovery!! We did the Whale Shark swim on their Catamaran and it was honestly one of the best days of our trip. Firstly, they were so helpful when we had to change our initial booking due to a family emergency and they fit us on another cruise. They were very informative in their emails leading up to the day and we knew exactly where to be and what to bring. They were punctual for pick up and we had a comfy ride to the jetty. The Catamaran was really beautiful to sail on. Spacious enough for everyone to relax while we were sailing and really tidy and well organised with enough room to store our small bag. The crew of Flo, Gloria, Lexi, Luke and Ash were such lovely and friendly people, very knowledgeable about what they were doing but mostly, just so enthusiastic about showing us the wonderful natural world that they work in. The briefings were succinct yet very informative and clear and we knew exactly what we were going to do at all parts of the day. The gear we were issued was good quality and there was plenty of food given to us during the day. We had a snorkel on the way out, which gave us a chance to test out our gear and flag any issues with our guides. And then it was off to find a whale shark. On the way we were treated to the most spectacular whale show courtesy of a mother and calf who were swimming along. Numerous breaches were seen and Ash our photographer captured some beautiful photos for us. That part of the trip was so magical, it would have been plenty for the day. But then, we found a whale shark and had the chance to get in the water twice. It was a quick moving one that swam below us but it was so beautiful and such a special experience. Then on for one more snorkel which was one of the best I have ever been on - truly beautiful life and coral. Highly recommend this day to anyone who would like to get a sense of the wonderful Ningaloo reef and even more, recommend this company as a wonderful group to do the day with.

An unforgettable day sailing the Ningaloo Reef with the gentle giants
I was fortunate enough to join Ningaloo Discovery on their first whaleshark tour of the season and had the most incredible experience on their beautiful sailing catamaran. From the moment we set off, I could tell that the crew was experienced and professional. They made sure that everyone was comfortable, having a great time and they were always on hand to answer any questions we had. The boat itself was well equipped and had everything we needed for a day out on the Ningaloo Reef. We had plenty of space to relax and take in the stunning views. Swimming with the whalesharks was an absolutely unforgettable experience and a privilege to be so close to these gentle giants of the sea. The crew made sure that everyone had a chance to swim with the whalesharks and took great care to ensure that we didn't disturb them or their natural habitat. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Ningaloo Discovery to anyone looking for a whaleshark tour.
