Record-breaking whale shark numbers

Well - the whale sharks are absolutely CRANKING!!! I can’t help myself - I get so excited! Swimming with these wonderful creatures is still as much of a joy to me now as it was on my very first tour.

We’re hoping that with the fantastic numbers we’re currently seeing that the season will continue well in to July.

I joined the crew on Sunday and swam with three stunning whale sharks, including a young male at about 4m who was very cruisy and allowed us to have a really good look at him. Best of the day though was the 8m shark which was a little speedy but still breathtaking.

On Monday we broke our previous all-time record of nine whale sharks by swimming with 10 on one tour!! That’s ten different whale sharks. It was tremendous!

We also stayed behind after the whale sharks had left to swim with some AWESOME manta rays. As we gathered in a tight group and made sure they didn’t feel threatened by us, they milled around in front of us for quite some time. They were simply stunning.

Today we swam with four whale sharks by 11 am and had heaps of spinner dolphins playing at the bow of the boat.

Hope business is well for everyone. Remember if you ever need any POS or extra information on our tours or Exmouth please feel free to contact Mel or Kat in the office.

Happy days!
