Swimming with Humpback Whales | Ningaloo Reef

The Ningaloo reef, mostly known for Whale Sharks also holds another ocean giant, Humpback Whales. On the coast of Western Australia you can snorkel with them.

The largest humpback whale migration in the world takes place in Western Australia and thousands of Humpbacks pass the Ningaloo Reef on their way to the Kimberly every year when they're doing their annual migration from Antarctica.

Swimming with whales is no easy task but when it works it is an amazing experience. In order to go in the water and attempt to interact with Humpback Whales, you would have to go with a licensed tour operator. It is illegal to do so without permission.

In this video you will follow me and the rest of the crew from Ningaloo Whaleshark Swim as we locate and swim alongside these gentle giants.
