About this site
Ningaloo Reef is Australia's largest fringing reef and one of the best places on Earth to swim with whale sharks - the world's largest fish. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers pristine coral gardens, dramatic drop-offs, and seasonal encounters with manta rays, humpback whales, and the rare dugong.
