Whale (Shark) of a Time! - Four of us, all in our late 60’s had the most incredible day snorkeling with a whale shark (solitary animals), reef sharks, turtles, beautiful fish and corals! The initial snorkel at the reef ensured all 20 were competent with masks and snorkels and then we ventured out to deeper waters once the spotter plane pilot had real relayed the location of a whale shark. We had the opportunity in groups of 10 to snorkel alongside the whale shark, not once but four times (with the primary concern for the whale shark’s comfort)….wow, wow, wow! Lily, Laura (our photographer, Paola, Liz and Oli our skipper were attentive, knowledgeable, clear with instructions, safety conscious and thoughtful. We finished the day with another reef snorkel but this time with sharks, turtles and large fish! Great morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and bubbles! We were all the more grateful to Eco Tours as our first booking was cancelled due to weather and they managed to get us on a tour 8 days later! Thank you.

Perfect day! - Had the most perfect day. Staff were great, passionate and knowledgeable. Weather was on our side as well as the whale shark who put on a performance while we snorkelled. Got to see 3 different reef sharks, lots of turtles and heaps of other marine life. Was definitely living my best life drinking champagne on the bough as we travelled back through the turquoise waters at the end of the day. Totally recommend!

Wonderful experience from start to finish! - At the first snorkel point we saw lots of fish and turtles. The staff were attentive, well mannered, skilful and having fun. An hour and a half later the plane had spotted a whale shark and minutes later another closer to us. We gathered quickly into our gear and 4 swims later we were all experienced something amazing. We were so well fed throughout the trip and even managed a reef swim on the return leg. Thank you Ecotours!

Nature on the high seas - It was a very nice trip with a motivated team. We even saw a whale shark, even if it was only for a short time - it's just nature... The bottom line is that we expected more from swimming with a whale shark, but if you love nature, you'll be happy with less. There's never a guarantee!

Bad - Did not see any whale sharks. Got told the day before it was likely to be cancelled due to wind. Unfortunately it still went ahead! Should of been cancelled as the spotter in the plane couldn’t see anything
