7Hr Ningaloo Humpback Whale Swim - Powerboat

The Humpback Whales grace the waters of Ningaloo during their annual migration, making it a remarkable sanctuary to witness the whales in their natural habitat. Swimming alongside these gentle giants is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and this Humpback Whale swim tour in  Ningaloo ensures that you get the best of this extraordinary encounter.

Departing from Exmouth, this full day tour offers a splendid day out on a luxury powerboat. The ‘Investigator’ is a spacious vessel with multiple seating options to relax and enjoy the scenery and wildlife of Ningaloo. The friendly crew welcomes you on board, and they will later prepare you for the first snorkel.

See the incredible coral gardens, turtles, schools of fish and maybe even dugongs and manta rays. The warm-up snorkel is the perfect time to ask your guide everything about the activity and the big swim on the cards.

While you get comfortable in the water, the spotter plane is already on the lookout for Humpback Whales. Once the whales are spotted and the skipper navigates there, the pilot and crew will closely observe their behaviour before you’re directed to put on your snorkel gear. If the whales are deemed not viable to swim with, the pilot will try and find other groups of whales.

The anticipation mounts as you and your group enter the water for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with the Humpback Whales of Ningaloo. See their sheer size, marvel at their elegance, and enjoy a close encounter like no other. ‘Observers’ on the powerboat can watch the whales from the comfort of the vessel. 

After waving goodbye to your swimming buddies, savour a delicious buffet lunch as the cruise takes you along the coast, looking for other wildlife like dolphins, Whale Sharks and turtles. If time and weather permits, you can enjoy another round of snorkelling, before returning home.

Unwind with an afternoon tea or sparkling wine as you head back, cherishing the memories of this extraordinary day. As a souvenir, you'll receive all the professional photos of your adventure at no extra cost!
