Ningaloo Reef is the world’s most reliable place to view and interact with whalesharks as they travel through the reef between March and June.
Whalesharks are believed to be the only remaining member of their prehistoric family. In fact they are believed to have dwelled the waters for some 60 million years!
Whalesharks are found in pockets of warm, tropical water and grow more than 12 metres long and weigh more than 11 tonnes.
Being a rare and mysterious creature, only minimal information has been discovered about whalesharks.
Researchers from around the world are studying these creatures in Ningaloo Reef and other locations to find out more about them.
