Ocean Eco Adventures

From March to July, snorkel guides, spotters, skippers and an in-house spotter aircraft put swimmers in the water alongside whale sharks on the Ningaloo reef; the crew, the operator says, is 'what brings the whole experience together.' Manta-ray swims run year-round out of Coral Bay aboard Wirraji, billed as Australia's first all-electric ocean-going charter vessel, capped at twelve guests. From August to October the boats shift to gentler sunset whale-watch cruises for those who would rather stay dry. EcoStar-certified and based in Exmouth.
