Ningaloo, its fun to say out-loud, try it... Ha, that person next to you thinks you're pretty weird right now. The Ningaloo reef is located just off the west coast of Australia home to a rich aquatic life, including our favorite, the whale shark. While there are a plethora of companies that advertise unforgettable experiences, there are few that match those at Ningaloo Whale Shark-n-Dive when comparing credibility and quality of adventures. The hard part for you may be deciding which adventure to do first, but honestly, they have the more difficult task of maintaining fair-trade and Eco-tourism business practices while giving you some unbelievable experiences.
It may seem a little time consuming at first but the effects of fair-trade and Eco-tourism are not necessarily things you will notice in your first visit to Exmouth. Those effects will be seen ten, 20, and 50 years later as you and others revisit. It will be on your second and third visits that you'll notice how much the coral has grown, and how the local culture is proudly displayed in local shops and business.
