A whale shark has ventured far from home, giving Rockingham swimmers a rare sighting.

The Ningaloo native was seen swimming in Cockburn Sound yesterday afternoon. 

Rockingham Wildlife Encounters took to Facebook saying the experience took their breath away.

"Never has this occurred in over 30 years of operating! Seeing a whale shark as far south as Rockingham is as amazing as it gets!"
