Western Australia's Ningaloo Reef runs what many consider the world's best-regulated whale shark swim program, pairing spotter planes, marine biologist guides, and strict DBCA distance rules with coral-spawn feeding aggregations each autumn. Full-day tours leave Exmouth and Coral Bay between mid-March and October, with April and May sitting at the heart of the coral spawn and peak shark activity.
