Exmouth Whale Shark Tour (When do the Whales get to Exmouth)
Perth to Exmouth whale shark tour
Whale sharks prefer warm waters and can be found in all tropical oceans. Every spring, they are known to migrate to the continental shelf of Australia’s central west coast. The Ningaloo Reef’s coral spawning provides a bountiful supply of plankton for the whale shark. Whale sharks are placid fish that will sometimes take swimmers for a ride despite their size. Even though they are officially categorized as a vulnerable species, they are still hunted in parts of Asia, such as the Philippines.

What is the Best Time for Exmouth Whale Shark Tours?

Swimming beside the world’s largest fish is one of the greatest bucket-list activities. Exmouth is one of the few places in the world where sightings of whale sharks are nearly certain during the season. The majority of tours depart from Exmouth, with pickups from nearby camper parks and hotels.

The greatest time to scuba dive with whale sharks in Australia is during the Australian autumn months, which run from March to June each year. Swimming with whale sharks in Ningaloo Reef is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that should not be missed if you visit the area. The world’s largest fringing reef is Ningaloo Reef.

Exmouth Whale Shark Tour March & April

March and April are hotter, like a tropical beach holiday without the humidity. Two very special events during these times are the coral spawning that swims out on the Ningaloo reef and baby turtles that come out of their nest on the beaches along the Cape and make a crazy run for the relative safety of the waters of the inner Ningaloo Reef.

Exmouth Whale Shark Tour May & June

At the end of May and June, two and three of the three big whales join the whale sharks of the Ningaloo Reef. And the first of the humpbacks begin to pass by on their way to their calving grounds off the Kimberley. A whale shark tour between late May and August is often about whale sharks and manta rays swimming, watching the stunning surface displays of the humpbacks and then being surrounded by whale songs while you also snorkel the Ningaloo Reef!

That said, many inhabitants of the city, apart from the fact that they are busy, see that July is the best month to live and tour the Ningaloo, with beautiful weather, great sea life and the Big Three Whales that are commonly observed during whale shark tours.

Whale sharks can’t bite or chew, so they rely on filter feeding. Through their gills, they can process over 6,000 litres of water per hour. A whale shark’s teeth are so small that they can only eat small shrimp, fish, and plankton using their gill rakers as a suction filter, despite its mouth stretching to four feet wide.
