About Kings Ningaloo Reef Tours

Whale sharks visit Ningaloo Reef from late March until late July each year. They are filter feeders and eat enormous amounts of plankton, krill and anchovies as they swim. Whale sharks are slow swimmers and move their entire bodies from side to side. They swim on the surface, so all you need to swim with them is a mask, snorkel and fins. Even though they are a shark, they are totally harmless and seem to enjoy the interaction with people.

There is some unfortunate evidence that the whale shark population around the world is decreasing. Some countries actually hunt and kill these gentle giants, selling them off for thousands of dollars. Increased worldwide protection and bans on fishing would assist in the conservation of the majestic whale shark.

Whilst on your tour with King's Ningaloo Reef Tours, take time to reflect upon the future of the whale shark. Wouldn't you want your future generations to be able to experience swimming side by side with one of nature's greatest gifts to mankind?
