383789 5 Location 624990 <p>We chose Ocean Eco Adventures and they were great, only 18 customers on board with five crew, very organised and very professional. We were picked up outside the visitors centre at 8:15 and driven around to the boat. The boat putted down to the reef for a snorkel to check everyone was ok and then after a quick snorkel we were off, the boat headed out past the waves that crashed over the reef and then once we were&nbsp;in the big blue,, the spotter plane was flown out to start looking. We split into two groups which was good because we had time to recover between swims. We didnt wait long for the first whale shark to be found and very quick our group was sliding into the water with our guide to see the biggest fish of the ocean and it was WOW, unreal! What a brilliant day, the wind was still, the sky was clear and the visibility was fantastic, we swam with the sharks 6 times, each time was great but the last one was really good as the whale shark actually was turning to look at us together with his/her fan club of little fish, some not so little. It was well and truly worth the wait to get here and to organise to be here at the right time. The plane was out for 4 hours and after that time everyone was exhausted so we headed back into the reef for a late lunch and another quick snorkel, eventually getting back at about 5:30, long, satisfying day.</p> 2009-05-27T18:36:09-07:00 948109333 2009-05-27T00:00:00-07:00 0 0 285828 383789 0 285820 0.0 2009-05-27T00:00:00-07:00 0.0 2009-05-27T18:36:09-07:00 101701 0
