Had a fantastic day on the boat (Shack Attack). Crew were wonderful - Connor, Frey and the (name escapes me) photographer (who did an awesome job and supplied excellent photos). Captain worked hard to position the boat and crew did great job preparing us for the swim with whale sharks. It’s clearly not an easy task, but they made the whole experience enjoyable and I think even if we had not seen the big spotty fish it would have still been a great day on the water. Lunch could be better, but still a 5 star rating and very happy to have selected edc for our big day out. Travel tip: The better swimmer you are the more enjoyable the day will be, but the crew are all diver and rescue trained (not something all the companies offer apparently).

We did a whale shark trip in the first week of August. What an incredible day on the water.
We had flat seas, sparkling sunshine and a spectacular day out.
We were lucky enough to find a juvenile male Whale shark who was very cooperative, having 6 or 7 separate swims with him.
Asa the captain of Blue Strike did an incredible job both spotting and manoeuvring around the shark (& lots of other sea creatures), the dive guides Emma and Izzy were super friendly, but incredibly professional in the way they organised us in the water. Ricardo did a fantastic job getting us in and out safely (and educating us on the marine life we were seeing) and Alberts photography was outstanding.
We also got the opportunity to swim with Manta Rays who were just passing by, and while in the water with them, we were blessed with a couple of pods of Humpbacks just cruising by!!!
A truly special experience.
On the way back to the jetty, Asa found us a Dugong to watch, as well as a small tiger shark that our guides revelled in having a snorkel with.
Lunch was delicious and plentiful (as was morning tea!)
A fantastic day all round and I could not rate the staff more highly for their care, assistance and attention to safety details.
Thanks guys.

Extremely disappointing experience with nothing to see, would not recommend.
We recently booked a snorkel tour to the Muiron Islands with the expectation of seeing “gorgeous soft coral” and “ diversity of marine life”, quoted from the website. Unfortunately the site we were taken too was far from this.
The visibility was reasonably good however both snorkel sites we visited were more appropriate for diving rather than snorkelling. The seabed and “coral” (unsure if it was even coral as it was so far away) were around 10 meters below the surface which made it difficult to see anything when snorkelling, and even when duck diving. The “coral” looked dull and sparse with little marine life present- two fish. Even if the coral was closer to us it would still be disappointing as it was just brown. Our whole group asked to go in early at both snorkel sites as we were just treading water for no reason, with the boat far away from us.
Overall, we found the tour to be misleading and falsely advertised . If you enjoy snorkelling looking into the deep blue ocean with a view of a blurry brown rock, then this is for you !!! If you’re looking for, “gorgeous soft coral” and “diversity marine life” , I would highly recommend visiting Turquoise Bay instead. It’s free, easy to access from the shore, and offers an abundance of colourful coral, fish, turtles, and even stingrays just a short swim from the beach.
This was a disappointing and costly experience that I would not recommend for snorkellers, or anyone for that matter.
Attached are a few photos of what was seen throughout the snorkel, one of which I dove 5 meters down, showing how far the coral was. However there is not much point in uploading all the photos as they are just the same.

I did a Whaleshark trip and a Snorkelling trip with them to the outer reefs. I was on the Whaleshark as an observer and I really appreciate the great service from the team! The captain of the Jazz, Nick. The photographer, Albert and my water guides Izzy and Emma were excellent on the first trip. We even got to see humpback whales and a Whaleshark that came close to the surface of the boat.
Snorkelling was also very well managed with the divers and I had a great time with my two snorkelling sessions.

Never again I booked and paied in the shop for a tour next day. During the night I became sick and was not able to dive the next morning. I met up the guide 07:15 and asked him to call the office what had happend.Later when I came to the shop I got an option to dive some days later. I told them I had a flight and could not stay. Asked for some form of refund (at least a part). But the manager denied.

We had a superb days scuba diving at the Murion Islands with these guys. Excellent guides and divemasters, competent boat handling, lots of space for gear setup.
And the coral, oh the coral….
Do yourself a favour. If your a diver, make a pilgrimage up to Exmouth and go and see the Murion Islands.

We had the most incredible day swimming with whale sharks, and it was all thanks to the amazing crew! My husband and our three kids had an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the team made sure we felt safe and supported, and their attention to detail was outstanding. The crew went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, well looked after, and well fed throughout the day. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience for our family. Highly recommend!

I recently completed my first dive with Anais and Matti it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and professional.
The instructors were knowledgeable and patient, making sure that I understood all the necessary techniques before we entered the water. During the dive, they were attentive and supportive, guiding us through the beautiful underwater scenery. I felt safe and confident thanks to their expertise.
I highly recommend for anyone interested in scuba diving, whether you're a beginner like me or more experienced. I can't wait to dive again!

Definitely book it—it’s worth every penny and more!
We can only agree with the previous ratings. We booked the whale shark experience. From the beginning, with advice and booking in the shop, to the end with the drop-off service, this experience was fantastic. We cannot emphasize enough how outstanding the entire team was.
Special thanks goes to Lynn, who helped me go from being basically terrified and just wanting to watch from the boat to actually snorkeling in the reef and swimming with the whale sharks. She took such good care of us and went above and beyond to make sure I felt safe in the water at all times!
We saw dolphins playing next to the boat, humpback whales and their calves doing acrobatics, and so many beautiful fish as well. The skipper ensured we had the best views of the animals. By the end of the tour on our ride to the bay, we had a super interesting and fun whaleshark lesson by Ricardo and could ask any questions about the animals and reef overall. The food was perfect and plenty! But as I said, EVERYBODY on the team was just 110% amazing. We are so thankful for this experience and will cherish it for the rest of our lives!

Others did go in second time. But we did see Humpbacks and a number of breaches on the way back. All the crew were great and looked after everyone. Shame about the weatherread moreread less

Absolutely fantastic trip with these guys! The use of a spotter plane means they find the whale sharks quickly, rather than waiting for hours on end to come across one which is a huge plus and means more time in the water with these amazing creatures. The price also includes photos taken on the day for those who don't have a camera or don't get that perfect shot. My only regret is that I wasn't in Exmouth for more than a day so I could do multiple trips. It's not just Whale Sharks out there, either - we saw dolphins, a dugong, turtles, and even a tiger shark!

Couldn’t say more about the great crew and photographer! Emma lead our group and she was fabulous getting us out there. Saw the tail of a whale shark because someone kicked up there fins right in front of me so I only saw bubbles till the tail end of this magnificent fish. Emma made sure I got a good spot for the drop further forward!! Then our small group came upon a baby (still huge) going in another direction but further down in the water and she guided us that way and we had a fabulous view from above and were able to keep up!! The whole staff should be commended as they all went above and beyond in a super enthusiastic and friendly way. They aren’t the cheapest but they make sure you get what you came for and some!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

ONCE IN A LIFETIME All reports suggest you can’t see whale sharks in October at Exmouth. They are all wrong, this was a fantastic experience we swam with 2 whale sharks, I could not hav swam anymore. We also saw a dolphin while snorkeling along with turtles (doing the tango!) & hump back whales from the boat. Furthermore there less people out there because it was off season and the sea was the warmest you could hope for whalesharks = actually this was the best time of the year to do it!I will add to above a traveller friend advised me (from speaking to a competitor operator who don’t go in Oct) that only 1 whale shark had been seen from all tours in October with 30 people trying to see them, how wrong he was and how glad I am, I listened to this tour group instead.
Also want to add the staff that worked on this boat were all excellent, they made the whole experience very enjoyable; the spotters helped to make it even more exciting, the photographer was arguably the number 1 ocean photographer in Exmouth & Michael had a great sense of humour, providing lots of advice on various other things we could do in Exmouth.
We are all very glad we did this tour, once in a lifetime and well worth it.

Amazing day! From start to finish, epic crew, yummy lunch (vegetarian friendly - salad/cheese wraps), amazing swims with the whalesharks and to top it off, when the whalesharks the spotter plane found kept diving down, instead of heading back to mangrove bay (arvo snorkelling spot) when our time was up, the amazing crew stayed behind in deeper waters and found another whaleshark and made sure we got more time in the water with these gentle giants. Amazing day, but for me the friendliness and positivity of the crew when it was super choppy and hot and we couldn’t find a whaleshark was the standout bit (along with the whalesharks ofc) hugely recommend. Thanks to Geoff, Robbie, legendary South African dude and the rest of the crew. Loved our day!

The best experience and company ever! My partner and I recently completed our Open Water PADI Dive Course with Exmouth Dive and truly cannot put into words how incredible our experience was. Yardena (Jordan) was our instructor and her kind heart and fun attitude made the three days of the course both extremely enjoyable and put all nerves at ease.
In our ocean dives, we saw reef sharks, mantarays, turtles, whales and so much more! Her adventurous spirit allowed our group to safely adventure the ocean whilst learning valuable skills.
Tyler was a fantastic skipper and went out of his way to ensure all of the passengers saw a range of sea life and were comfortable.
We cannot recommend Exmouth Dive again! Will be back!

Excellent trip The staff were excellent in making sure everyone got what they wanted from the trip.There was a big age range from children (7and 9) to late 60s as well as experience snorkeling. From very experienced to having snorkel only once before.
Some people choose to enjoy the trip and did not enter the water.
The snorkeling spots were great, so many different varieties of fish including sharks. Plus we saw turtles mating.
The best was the whale shark. We had 4 opportunities to see and swim with it.
Amazing animal. The staff were very helpful making sure you saw and could swim with it.
For this trip , you are driven to the site where the boat is anchored offshore and are transported by tender boat.
This is close to turquoise bay.
Can highly recommend.

Whaleshark & Muiron Islands snorkel I was in Exmouth for 3 weeks from mid-July 2023, so did lots of different tours. I had the BEST time with Exmouth Dive and Whalesharks Ningaloo on a Whaleshark snorkel and a trip to Muiron Islands too. From how my bookings were handled in the office to the onboard experience, the team is first class! The bar's been set very high by all Exmouth tour operators, so much so that other trips I've made since (in the Canary Islands, for example) don't come close in terms of the experience gained during the adventure. Oh well, even more reason to return to Ningaloo again, again and AGAIN! Thanks guys/gals - I hope you all enjoy a little downtime before the next season lands on top of you!read moreread less

Big shout out to the team - Nick, Ricardo, Linn and Mike -who went absolutely above and beyond with our experience on board, in the water, and pointing out marine life from the boat. We went for two swims beforehand and saw an abundance of fish underwater, including a sting ray and reef shark.

The Crew were amazing, some of the friendliest people you will ever meet, with some unreal stories. The boat was a real pleasure to be aboard, the dives sights are truely spectacular, and the food was great and super welcome after the dives.
I would and will highly recommend this course and any of the others to my friends, family and anyone else who asks!
The course, the dives and time out on the boat was the absolute highlight of my two week holiday in the Pilbara.
A Huge thanks to:
Timmy. For being such a great instructor, always funny and always ready to answer questions. thanks mate!
Tyler. cheers for getting us to the amazing dives sights and safely back to shore. The laughs and conversations up in the fly bridge were very entertaining.
Ree. Thank you for sharing your vast amount of experience and tolerating my daft comments and questions.
To the rest of the crew, Thanks for everything it was wonderful!
I can't wait to dive with you all again.
Josh Kemp.

Whales of the Gulf and sunset Delightful way to spend the afternoon with great staff, delicious little snacks and whales a’plenty! Watching whales breaching, mothers with calves frolicking or tails whacking up a foam defies description. There is plenty of room to view these magnificent creatures that affect the emotions and bring us to nature in the now.We’ve done this each time we visit Exmouth and can highly recommend the experience.

Once in a lifetime experience Cannot speak highly enough of this dedicated enthusiastic and friendly crew. We were lucky enough to have 2 swims with a whale shark after the 2 spotter planes found them (took a little while given it was the end of whale shark season but in the meantime we got to see many humpbacks, dolphins, turtles and even an Orca). The crew were very patient and encouraging of an older lady in our group who was not a confident swimmer - they always made sure 1 of the crew was with her and gave her extra flotation devices to hold onto. The swim with the whale shark was a once in a lifetime experience.We met a couple the following day who had been out on a whale shark tour with another company the same day as us yet their plane had not been able to find a whale shark.

Absolutely incredible team and adventure Incredible experience with phenomenal crew! They really cared to show us a once in a lifetime experience, and they were so patient and accommodating with kid family of 7 - everyone from young to old had the best time. We got to do and see just about everything we dreamed of seeing and then some. Couldn’t recommend this activity and this particular company more. It’s the reason to go to Exmouth, and can’t imagine doing it with a better company.read moreread less

My husband and I were totally in awe of the experience we had on Sunday on the Whale Shark cruise on Jazz II.
From booking the cruise to being dropped off at the end of the day we felt so safe in the hands of this most professional and efficient tour company. The skipper, Nick, diligently handled the boat, Heather drove our pick up bus as well as handling the photography and the snorkelling groups, Conner and the other crew members were equally friendly and helpful throughout our cruise. It was such a fun day with this young and enthusiastic crew. A most successful day was had with many whale shark sightings as well as humpback whales, manta rays, turtles and dolphins.
Everything about our day was absolutely wonderful and I would highly recommend this group to anybody wishing to swim with the whale sharks in this amazing part of the world. Thank you everyone.

Awesome dive experiences We first visited Exmouth Dive Centre in 1995 to qualify as divers so 28 years later we decided to return! We swam with Whalesharks, saw so many humpback whales, dived at the Murion Island and on Ningaloo Reef over 9 days. The staff on all of the adventures were outstanding and we had magical times in the water and on the boats. Well done and thank you to everyone from those in the office, the dive staff and the Captains!read moreread less

We were in the market for some new snorkelling gear and we’re not disappointed with the service we received or the products we bought. The lady that served us was so knowledgeable and helped us pick the best fitting mask. Thank you so much! We lok. your advice and buffed our masks before using them and then used the anti fog gel and we had the best snorkelling session yesterday on the reef. My mask didn’t fog up, neither was it so tight that my sinuses got a bit stuffy. We bought this kit with our wedding present money and were definitely not disappointed. Thanks again for your help and the good advice????

You HAVE to tick humpback swimming off your list with Exmouth Dive & Whaleshark Swim. We were one of the few lucky folk aboard Jazz II today, where we had the privilege of at least 6 swims with the humpbacks. Huge thank you to Nick the Skip, Lynn, Albert & Mike you have given us the best lifelong memories, what an awesome crew! The coordination between the spotter plane & lynn was unbelievable. We couldn't have asked for anything more, nor can today ever be recreated it was that perfect.

Learning to Dive is easy with Timmy! Timmy was brilliant and gave us confidence in ourselves to successfully complete the Open Water Training module. His explanations and instructions were outstanding and we would happily complete additional courses with him. The rest of the team were also excellent with clear instructions and support; they all had pride in their work.read moreread less

Our family loved our day out snorkeling. They had to make a slight change due to winds but it meant we had a great day out and they kept us fully informed
Staff were so helpful but special mention goes to Ree who allowed my 10 year old to follow her. My daughter is a really competent swimmer but was so scared of what she might see she nearly didn't get into the water. She encouraged her, let her follow her along and my daughter had the most amazing day and is now really confident in the water. It was above and beyond what I would expect.
Thanks to for the staff for answering the 500 questions from my kids. They loved it an we loved you showing us the turtles, mantra ray and whales that floated past the boat.
So thankful we came out.
I also loved the we could explore a bit on our own but felt safe that help was nearby and your safety check meant I knew the kids (10-13)- felt safe and confident.

The best! I did my PADI Open Water Diving cert with these guys, they were the best! They planned for weather conditions to allow us the best experience, and we even got a bonus swim with manta rays in between dives! Timmy was an awesome dive instructor, and super patient with us all. He explained everything really clearly and made sure we were ready and safe the whole time. I would highly highly recommend!!read moreread less
