Product Itinerary
Each year between mid-March and August these slow-moving, gentle, filter-feeding giants migrate past Ningaloo Reef. The world’s biggest fish can grow to lengths of 12 metres or more and has a healthy appetite in order to sustain its immense size.

Sal Salis offers whale shark swims with select local partners and you can expect an up-close-and-personal view of these gentle giants. Your day will begin with the 25-minute transfer from Sal Salis to Tantabiddi Boat Ramp where you will meet your experienced skipper and crew for the day. Morning tea is usually served as you motor out into the Indian Ocean to begin the search for the whale sharks, this is aided by a spotter plane that relays sightings to your skipper. The crew will help you get kitted out in wetsuits and snorkel gear and provide a thorough briefing.
During the course of the day your crew will keep an eye out for turtles, dolphins, dugongs, rays and sea birds and there is usually
time for a snorkel at the back of the Reef. A delicious lunch featuring fresh Western Australian produce is provided.

Please note:
The whale shark will be moving so swimming is required during interaction. The whale sharks are found in the open ocean so you may be swimming in current and swell.
Government regulations allow a maximum of 60 minutes swimming with one shark.
You will need to bring a towel (Sal Salis will provide), a few extra layers to keep warm between swims, hat, sunglasses and
personal items, plus seasickness tablets if you’re prone to feeling sick out on the ocean.
GoPro and underwater cameras may be used however poles are not allowed.

The camp has been designed to operate in tune with the fragile environment of Cape Range National Park and as such we abide by strict principles of minimal impact and sustainability. All of our power is solar generated, each en suite bathroom has a natureloo (marketing jargon for state of the art composting loos!), water usage is very carefully managed and no waste material escapes into the surrounding ecosystem. Each room has a fan to ensure the circulation of air in the middle of summer. Native herb soaps and ecologically sound shampoos are provided. The tents are spacious and naturally comfortable – they are not intended to be 5 star hotel rooms in the bush so do not offer TVs, telephones, minibars or other modern appliances.
