No Show Policy Ecotour
Tours are nature-based and rely on the appearance of wildlife. While every effort is made to locate the sightings of wildlife, whale sharks, Manta Rays, humpback whales, and other marine life, there will naturally be days in the season when no whale sharks or wildlife will be sighted. This by no means is a common occurrence, as the high numbers of wildlife in the area and the use of a spotter plane to locate them reduce the chance of not seeing them or other marine wildlife.

When I tried to clarify, they completely ignored my emails and TripAdvisor messages for 3 days. I had to call them 5 times and was left on hold for 20 minutes, only to be casually told: "We got the dates wrong, we can just cancel your booking."
No proactive communication, no apology, and no explanation for the platform discrepancies. Why confirm a booking if you can't fulfill it, and why make the customer chase you down just to get cancelled?
Extremely unprofessional. Save your time and book with a reliable operator instead.
The guides,all staff were brilliant. Helpful, so skilled and taking on a huge responsibility.
Highly recommend this trip
Today I went out with my daughter, sister, niece, and brother, and we honestly had the best time ever. The entire crew, both the ladies and the men, were incredibly friendly, genuinely lovely people, and so informative throughout the day. Nothing was too much trouble, and they made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.
Swimming with the whale sharks was simply breathtaking. They are such majestic creatures, and seeing them up close was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. Words really can’t describe how incredible it was.
A special highlight was also seeing a blue pygmy whale – absolutely epic! The colour was unbelievable and something I’ll never forget.
Everything about the day exceeded our expectations. If you’re thinking about doing this, don’t hesitate. Everyone should experience this at least once. Highly recommend Ningaloo Blue Whale Shark Snorkeling – an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime!
The crew was amazing and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. The girls were always checking on everyone, making sure we felt safe, confident, and ready to enjoy the experience. Their kindness and positive attitude made such a difference.
The whale sharks themselves are incredibly calm and peaceful animals. Once I got in the water, all my nerves disappeared. You can swim alongside them comfortably and just enjoy the moment. It was an absolutely incredible experience, and we had plenty of opportunities to swim with them throughout the day.
The equipment was in excellent condition, including the fins, snorkels, and wetsuits. The boat was also very well maintained, and the captain was fantastic. Everything was organized, professional, and punctual.
I couldn’t have asked for a better first whale shark experience. Thank you to the whole team for making it so special! 🐋💙
Bus saw an amazing amount of different sea creatures
As someone who has never been a great fan of swimming, they made me feel comfortable and I had a wonderful experience. All the staff really cared that I had an enjoyable time and I felt like it was truly something to tick of the bucket list!
A massive hats off to the skipper (I'm terrible with names) he was extremely knowledge and a thoroughly nice guy!
I was also impressed by their approach to sustainable tourism and care for the beautiful creatures we got to swim with!
The crew, Ella, Dan, Kolton, and Nick, were passionate and knowledgeable about the ocean and their expertise added to the trip immensely. Ella provided us with photos which meant we could relax and focus on the experience without worrying about taking photos. It was fabulous.
Thanks heaps!!
Leanne and Chris
A few of us got sea sick (and yes, despite taking sea sickness tablets) and they checked in to make sure we were ok. I still got to experience 2 swims with the whale sharks, truly gentle giants, plus enjoyed a drift snorkel time in the lagoon. Also we got close to a pod of humpback whales and the highlight for me was when a pod of dolphins had so much fun swimming alongside the boat and jumping up as if to say hello to us. Better than seeing them in captivity!
Although quite challenging in some ways, especially for me with a bung knee, climbing back onto the boat, the staff and fellow passengers were very helpful and supportive.
I heard the food and celebratory drinks were good but sea sickness meant none for me!
How lucky are we to have had the opportunity to experience this adventure!! Thanks to Ningaloo Blue.
*these photos were taken by the onboard photographer for us*
Would highly recommend
Ash and have a chat Toby thanks for making it an unforgettable day.
Came to Exmouth just to do this excursion this time and was not disappointed.
Everyone on the crew (Brad the skipper, Pip and Chloe the guides and spotters, Mackenzie who captured the whole day and created priceless memories and and Spencer the deck hand) were all super welcoming and friendly and knowledgeable!
We had amazing encounters with whale sharks, white tip reef sharks, the Ningaloo catfish and a dugong plus a couple of tiger sharks! And then the food provided on board was so good and catered to our dietary requirements.
I couldn’t stop smiling all day!
I will need to plan my return trip for the humpback whales and orcas!
Do yourself a favour and book this trip! You will not regret it and it’s worth every cent!
I’ve been wanting to dive with whale sharks my whole life and I knew when coming to Exmouth I was going to make this a reality.
The whole staff with Ningaloo blue are absolute legends, from the bus ride, to the skipper and deck hands, everyone was so friendly and accommodating and made an experience of a life time, thanks to Brad in charge of the boat, getting us to see only the best encounters of the day.
Thanks legends! Keep up the good work! I’ll be recommending all of our mates.
The crew were totally amazing , enthusiastic, motivated, and real.
They made you feel welcome as soon as you are collected.
Arrived on time.
Waivers signed.
Great talk on area on way to the harbour.
Fun, exhilarating, magical.
The ocean provided an awesome display with Whale sharks galore.
Totally recommend this great company, all the tour operators are great ambassadors for Ningaloo Blue and whole area.
Emma- a wealth of knowledge , sharing so openly.
Annie- smart, bright and so very helpful.
McKenzie- photographer Extroidinare, so passionate about the sea and all her creatures.
Brad- captain- great sense of humour and worked tirelessly all day to give everyone a unique experience .
? Billy- new team member , on his 4 th day, who again provided great tips re tides and the moon etc.
I loved recommending this tour provider with all the many folk I talked with today , including friends and family back home.
I will be back to swim another time with the gentle giants of the ocean
No less than 6 sharks over the morning, plus 2 great snorkelling experiences, fabulous lunch and a glass of champagne to finish the day as we headed back to dock.
The staff were super enthusiastic, helpful and very considerate of the range of diving skills/ages/fears of everyone on board. Our skipper was just awesome. He worked hard all day ensuring we received our wildlife fix in so many things we discovered and saw whilst continually moving across both the outer and inner reefs.
If you have read this far and still considering, just book with the team and do it. It will easily be one of your genuine highlights of spending time on the WA coast.
Highly recommended
