Scuba divers and snorkellers can dive on the reef during the spawn season, or swim among the whale sharks, to enjoy this life-changing experience with the gentle giants of the sea.

The Ningaloo Whaleshark Festival highlights the community's relationship with the yearly visitation of the whale shark.

The festival's objective is to bring together government departments, business,industries and community members to strengthen their relationships whilst enhancing the education and celebration of the Whale Shark and its annual visit to Ningaloo.

The Whaleshark Festival is for all ages and is possibly the only event in honour of that unique, spectacular creature, the whale shark which is recognised both nationally and internationally.

May signals the beginning of the annual whale migration, as humpback and southern right whales make their way from the food-rich southern ocean to breeding grounds in the warm northern waters.

The whales then return south in November to the colder seas to grow and mature.

The whales follow the continental shelf, hugging the coast as they travel through the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, playfully breaching and showing off their water-skills and celebrating life just off shore.

What's more, you can enjoy their glorious carpets of colour and curious blooms for six months of the year, as the season begins in June in the north, and sweeps down the State to finish with a flurry on the south coast in November.
