It wasn't long until we were in the water, swimming alongside one of the biggest fishes in the sea! A gorgeous whale shark. After the thrill of swimming with the big shark, we still had time to do some whale watching and an afternoon snorkel somewhere else on Ningaloo.

It was then time for a complimentary champagne or beer, as we cruised home.
Another great day on the reef!
