  • Paikka: Exmouth, WA
  • Tuotekoodi: WST



On the 20 April 2023 at approximately 11.27am one of the earth’s greatest phenomenon’s will occur, with Exmouth touted to be the best place in the world to watch it all unfold. The phenomenon we are talking about is a total solar eclipse, the King of all Eclipses. A total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, the Moon and Earth and are in direct alignment and the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth.  

This event just happens to coincidentally be happening right in prime Whale shark season. So we thought we’d combine two bucket list experiences of a Whale shark tour

and watching the total solar eclipse into the one day of adventure!!!! Join us to watch the King of Eclipses and swim with a Whale shark. While Exmouth will be the very best place to watch the Eclipse, you’ll be able to escape the crowds and view the event while floating on the Indian Ocean over coral reef. We take a maximum of 20 swimmers onboard as per licence conditions.  Amongst the standard inclusions for our Whale shark tour we’ll also have safety glasses for you to wear so that you can gaze directly at the eclipse and not miss a thing. We'll hopefully also be able to tune in and listen to a live broadcast while out on the water.  Our skipper will endeavour to position our vessel in the optimum location to not only swim with Whale sharks but also make the most of the totality.
