Every year from April to July, following the mass spawning of coral, the world's biggest species of fish congregate in the Ningaloo Marine Park. These are the whale sharks! The chance to snorkel with these gentle giants is the opportunity of a lifetime and visitors from all over the world head to the Ningaloo Reef during whale shark season.
Marine Turtles in Ningaloo Marine Park, Dec - Mar, Exmouth
Ningaloo Reef and adjacent islands are one of the world's major breeding areas for sea turtles. During the breeding season between December and March, Green and Loggerhead turtles make their way up the beaches to lay their eggs.

The best beaches to view sea turtles laying and hatching are from Hunters Access down to Wobiri Access.
