With over 30 years experience running Whale shark interaction tours they are one of the original Whale Shark Tour companies in Exmouth. Captain and owner Bill has over 40 years experience on open water and you will still find him as your captain and prides himself on being owner/operator.

The Magellan is considered to be one of the biggest and best charter boats in operation on the Ningaloo Reef via Exmouth. At 20m in length it was custom built by our Captain and company owner Bill McDonald. With over 40 years at sea, Bill designed the Magellan to be comfortable, stable and with commercial tourism in mind. Just perfect for exploring the Ningaloo Reef.
