Ningaloo Blue Charters is situated on the pristine Ningaloo Reef – the Worlds Largest fringing coral reef. Every year we are fortunate enough to have the impressive Whale Sharks (the worlds largest fish) pass by the Ningaloo Reef between the months of April – July. We take clients from all over the world with all different levels of snorkelling/swimming abilities out on to the Ningaloo Reef to swim besides the biggest fish in the ocean.

Swimming with the biggest fish in the sea surely is an unforgettable experience, with some participants referring to it as “life changing”.
