Coral Bay and Exmouth are “Nature Lovers’ Paradise!” The two areas are located on what is today called the Ningaloo Marine Park. It’s one of the few spots on the planet where you can get up and personal with the world’s largest fish, the whale shark. From March to July, these gentle filter-feeding giants can be spotted off the coast.
Coral Bay is as beautiful as its name suggests. You’re only a few feet away from the world’s largest fringing reef, the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef, on white-sand beaches. Dive, snorkel, or fish in brilliant turquoise waters and get up and personal with aquatic life.
Step off the beach at Exmouth, swim a few metres through the clearest turquoise water on the planet, and you’ll be drifting over the world’s largest fringing reef, the World Heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef.

Spotter planes operated by tour operators ensure that you know exactly where the whale sharks will be, getting you to the action quickly and efficiently.
Why Visit Ningaloo Reef?
The seasonal aggregation of Whale Sharks in the Ningaloo Marine Park is linked with an increase in the productivity of the ocean around the time of the mass coral spawning in March/April each year. Ningaloo Reef is one of the few places in the world where Whale Sharks appear regularly in numbers.
The coast and reef draw their name from the Australian Aboriginal Wajarri language word ningaloo meaning “promontory”, “deepwater”, or “high land jutting into the sea”. The Yamatji peoples of the Baiyungu and Yinigudura clans have inhabited the area for over 30,000 years.
Unique Place
Ningaloo Reef is in Australia and it is one of the most unique places to visit in Australia. Each year tourists visit Ningaloo Reef in Australia to swim and snorkel with whale sharks and see the amazing variety of marine life. Ningaloo Reef is the only place in Australia where whale sharks are found in large numbers at predictable times and are easily accessible to snorkelers.

Best Times to Come
A whale shark tour between late May and August often involves whale shark and manta ray swimming, watching the stunning surface displays of the humpback whales and then being surrounded by whale song as you snorkel the Ningaloo Reef too.
When and Where Do Whale Shark Tours Operate?
Join a whale shark watching or snorkeling tour from Exmouth or Coral Bay and experience the ultimate Whale Shark diving experience. Every year, between mid-March and mid-July, these gentle giants of the ocean congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park following the mass spawning of coral.
