OVERNIGHT WHALESHARK AND DIVE ADVENTURE
DEPARTS MONDAY
Overnight expedition on the stunning Ningaloo Reef, includes Whaleshark interaction and 4 dives from only $995 per person.
DAY 1
At 7am on day one the crew from Ningaloo Whaleshark n Dive will pick you up from your accommodation in Exmouth. From here you will be transferred to the west coast of the North West Cape where our superior dive vessel ‘Aliikai’ will be ready for boarding.
After a short safety briefing and introduction to the crew and other passengers, we will travel to our first dive site for the day, somewhere on the Ningaloo Reef. After the dive, enjoy morning tea and an in-depth Whaleshark Interaction briefing incorporating information on latest research involving Whale Sharks.
Our plane will then start searching for Whalesharks, once spotted we will start our interaction with these gentle giants. The time that we spend with the whalesharks will depend on the sightings for the day!
At some stage we will sit down to a lovely buffet style lunch, consisting of cold meats and array of fresh salads. After lunch and when our whale shark activities have come to a close, there will be time to snorkel in the calm waters of the lagoon, or just sun bathe and reflect on the day so far!
We will then travel to the outer reef for our next dive. When the diving activities are finished the crew will cook an ‘Australian’ style barbeque of fresh Exmouth seafood.
After dinner enjoy a beverage and a presentation of the day’s footage taken by our professional videographer.
DAY 2
Start the day with a cooked breakfast. We will then travel to Dive Site 1. When the dive is completed we will spend the surface interval searching for wildlife on the outer reef, (we often encounter manta rays and humpback whales in season)
After Dive 2, enjoy lunch with the crew, before travelling back to Tantabiddi Beach where your bus will be waiting to transfer you back to your accommodation in Exmouth.
ADVANTAGES OF THIS WHALESHARK TOUR!
SMALL GROUP NUMBERS
Usual Whaleshark tours can have up to a maximum of 20 passengers, this means you share the Whaleshark with a group of ten other people. On this tour, the maximum number of people on the boat is 10! Once we split into two groups, the maximum number of people with the shark at any time is five. This makes a huge difference!
DIVE THE TRUE NINGALOO REEF
Most dive tours departing Exmouth dive either Light House Bay or Muiron Islands. On this tour we dive the TRUE Ningaloo Reef and dive sites that are not frequented by other dive companies.
INCLUSIONS
- Transfers
- All meals, special dietary requirements can be catered for with prior notice
