Dive Expedition
The Complete Expedition
Our flagship week-long expedition aboard the M.Y. Dive Expedition. Nine days, eight nights, and the most comprehensive Ningaloo Reef experience available.
The Flagship Experience
A Week of Extraordinary
The Dive Expedition is our most ambitious expedition — nine days that will transform how you see the ocean. With luxury suites, world-class dining, and an itinerary designed by marine biologists, this is the ultimate Ningaloo experience.
From sunrise yoga on deck to midnight stargazing over the Indian Ocean — nine days anchored in one of earth's last intact reef systems. The kind of place that recalibrates you.

Where Luxury Meets Adventure
M.Y. Dive Expedition
Purpose-built for expedition cruising, the Dive Expedition combines the stability and range of a commercial vessel with the elegance of a private yacht.
Day by Day
A Week of Wonder
Nine carefully designed days that build in intensity — from gentle introductions to extraordinary encounters.
Day 1
Embarkation & Departure
Board the M.Y. Dive Expedition at Exmouth Marina. Welcome briefing, safety orientation, and departure. First sunset dinner on the upper deck as we sail north to our first anchorage.
Day 2
Northern Reef Exploration
Wake up anchored on the northern reef. Full day of snorkel sessions over untouched coral gardens. Evening marine biology presentation on deck.
Day 3
Whale Shark Encounter
The day you've been waiting for. Our spotter plane locates whale sharks and we enter the water for multiple swims alongside these gentle giants. You will be changed forever.
Day 4
Scuba Diving & Deep Reef
Full day scuba diving on deeper reef walls and channels. Explore coral bommies, caves, and passages. Evening RIB adventure to a remote beach for sundowners.
Day 5
Humpback Whale Swim (Seasonal)
Dedicated humpback whale encounter day. Our crew tracks pods and we enter the water for in-water encounters with these magnificent animals — one of the rarest wildlife experiences on earth.
Day 6
Turquoise Bay & Turtles
A full day at Turquoise Bay — Ningaloo's most iconic snorkel site. Drift over spectacular coral formations. Encounter sea turtles, reef sharks, and rays in the crystal-clear shallows.
Day 7
Expedition RIB Adventures
Dedicated RIB day — explore remote coastline, hidden lagoons, and off-map anchorages unreachable by day boats. Kayak Yardie Creek in the afternoon, stargazing dinner at anchor.
Day 8
Coral Bay & Manta Rays
Sail south to Coral Bay for manta ray encounters. These graceful creatures glide through the water just meters from you. Farewell dinner under the stars at anchor.
Day 9
Final Morning & Farewell
One last sunrise swim on the reef before returning to Exmouth. Farewell brunch on deck, certificate presentation, and a lifetime of extraordinary memories.
