Nothing compares to the exhilaration of swimming with the world’s largest fish - the whale shark - and Ningaloo Reef on Western Australia’s Coral Coast is one of only a few places in the world where you can.

But it is not just the awesome whale shark which you can encounter at Ningaloo. Whales, dolphins, turtles, reef sharks and 500 tropical fish all swim in these warm waters, but perhaps the most graceful of them all is the manta ray. Watch these other-worldly creatures perform synchronised somersaults as they feed is a magical experience you can see all year round.
