In 2016, Exmouth and Coral Bay were invited to participate in the Humpback Whale In-Water Trial at Ningaloo. For the last 3 years we have been operating Humpback Whale Swim Tours out of Exmouth, with great success!
Our last Humpback Whale Tour for 2018 departed last Friday from the Exmouth Marina. Our eyes in the sky, Ningaloo Aviation, located an inquisitive mum and sized calf who was very interested in our group! It was a beautiful end to the 2018 season.
We conducted a total of 37 Humpback Whale Swim Exmouth in 2018, with a success rate of more than 98%! The interactions are purely on the whales terms. The interactions get better every year!
The In-Water Trial has been extended for another year at Ningaloo, and we look forward to commencing tours again on the 1st of August 2019.
