About
Live Ningaloo is the premier and multi-award-winning whale shark and humpback whale operator on the Ningaloo Reef, operating from Australia's Coral Coast – Exmouth, Western Australia.
This is not your average tour. Live Ningaloo offers small, intentional adventures with a big impact. They create space for connection, awe, and transformation.
Quality time matters. They are the only operator to limit guest numbers to a maximum of 10 on board because small, single swimming groups matter. You're part of every interaction – there's no switching or sitting out. With a smaller group, you gain more access, more moments, and a deeper understanding of what makes this place so special.
Live Ningaloo's mission is to reclaim time in a meaningful way and give people the space to feel something. Each tour is designed to give guests the best opportunity for authentic, life-changing experiences — the kind that stay with you long after the salt has dried.
Their ultimate vision is to leave people, place, and the wild better than how they found it — and inspire every visitor to leave the Ningaloo region as an ambassador for life. They believe in a future where micro ecotourism businesses can achieve positive, regenerative outcomes for people and the planet.
