We started our Whale Shark Adventure today by searching for manta rays and hoping to catch sight of the orca that was around yesterday. We found a small group of manta rays quickly and jumped in for some snorkelling before heading further south to begin our search for the whale sharks.
We were in the water with our first whale shark of the day by 1045 - we love early sharks! We snorkeled with this guy a couple of times then moved to our second & third whale sharks of the day for multiple drops & swims with each. It was hard to take but someone has to do it!
We weren't done yet! Our fourth whale shark was incredible! He was actively feeding with his mouth WAY WIDE open, swimming around in circles. He'd do the loop then bank around and come straight back at us so we could see right down his huge mouth. We spent ages with this whale shark and he was just the coolest to watch.
Humpback whales kept us company as we cruised back north...another grand day out with the Big Three!
