We had the most amazing day on our Whale shark tour. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel (bang on time!) to getting dropped off again we felt so looked after and the whole crew made sure it was a truly memorable day for all. We were on the Drawcard and everything was extremely well organised. Being just out of season, there was always the risk we wouldn’t get to see a whale shark but we were lucky enough to get in the water three times with one. Some of our group also got great photos with it. As well as the whale shark swim we did some fantastic snorkelling, seeing a huge pregnant stingray, a starfish, a huge groper and lots of beautiful colourful fish. Amazing memories made! Thanks so much to the whole crew for an awesome day out.

Fantastic day with very encouraging staff who knew there trade. I had never used flippers before and my mask wasn’t sealing but still staff helped, then Marika encouraged me to snorkel and guided me to the whale shark which was majestic..a truely beautiful experience. I can’t thank Marika enough. Food was good and boat pretty smooth

Stevejo29

Wonderful staff who are encouraging and know their trade. We had pleasure of seeing whale shark, dolphins, turtle and lots of fish. Food was good and boat pretty smooth. Amazing to pop head under water and see whale shark right there!

Highly recommend these guys. I had an amazing experience with Drawcard boat crew. Very informative and thorough. All equipments and photographers are included. Highly recommend to take motion sick pills before boarding the boat for max experience!

What an amazing experience. I cant speak more highly of the tour, the expertise of the crew, their passion and care for the reef and nature, and the care they provide to the people who get to enjoy this unique part of nature. Thank you so very much for creating a special day for myself and making it memorable. Kind regards Jodie Rhodes

This was a great day from pick-up in town at about 8.00 am to drop-off in the late afternoon back in town. The opportunity to snorkel twice off the boat within the outer reef and to swim with the whale sharks outside the outer reef made for a busy but hugely rewarding day. The whale sharks are huge, but gentle, and to be able to see two different whale sharks as they feed near the surface was magical. The crew were friendly, efficient, always helpful and safety conscious. They watched carefully over those of us who were not strong swimmers and after four times off the boat to swim with the whale sharks they quickly provided everyone with lunch of bread, cold meats and salads. Highly recommended.

A once in a lifetime, incredible experience. Amazingly professional operation and passionate staff. We are so glad we decided to give this tour a go with 3 Island based on recommendations of other travellers. PIcked up by bus, it's 30 mins to the jetty and Hannah (our photographer) gave us a history of the area and pointed out things along the way. This is an extremely well run and polished operation, to keep both animals and guests safe! It includes a spotter plane and two boats: the bigger boat and the zodiac which follows groups in the water in case anyone is tired or needs help. And a lot of staff, who were friendly, had a great energy, and were passionate about what they are doing. I loved the explanation with visual aids and sound effects :) All equipment is provided quickly and efficiently and we did a little snorkel inside the reef to check our gear, check out the fish, and probably to check everyone's confidence before going outside the reef. We were split into 2 groups of 10, each with our own guide. The groups cycled in and out of the water for a swim with the shark. We had 5 swims in all. I don't know how they get people in line, but they do! The spotter plane, boat and zodiac locate the shark: the photographer swam out to position; the guide got our group in the water, and we watched her directions to form a line, wait and then look! To see this majestic creature appear and swim past at close range was surreal. Once his head had passed, we swam hard to follow him along as long as we wanted. If anyone was tired, they could signal to be picked up. Hannah the photographer took photos which are provided for free. We were also fortunate to have a swim with Manta Rays as they were spotted, and saw dolphins and countless humpback whales swimming right near the boat. I don't go for the food, but they provided lots: morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, fresh fruit, cheese and crackers and a drink to celebrate. It was fresh and much appreciated. On the way home, Hannah and Tiana gave us more information about the whale sharks and answered our questions. This really is an amazing experience and we were both super impressed with 3 Island Tours. Big thanks to Benji and Seth, Hannah, Tiana and Pappie. Tip: If you get sea sick, get meds from a chemist (I used Nausicalm) and start taking it the night before.

Such a nice group of people. They came to pick us up at our house then the weather was perfect. We saw many Humbacks, dolphins, and 6 Whale Sharks. The divings were very well organised and the sense of humour of our crew was very well received. We had a fantastic experience, thank you again.

We got picked up from our accommodation by mini bus on the drive out to the boat ramp we were given a very in depth insight into the local history of Exmouth by T with Aimee driving. We boarded the boat DrawCard Sam was our skipper everyone on the boat had great knowledge of the ocean. We swam 3 times with the whale sharks. We were given morning T and Lunch as well all in our cost. We saw Whale Sharks all three times also lots of Humpback Whales, Turtles, Sea Snakes it is worth every $$ spent

Fantastic, energetic staff made for a wonderful experience. We had four dives with the whale sharks. Followed by an expansive buffet and glass of champagne. What a day. 😊😊

Yesterday we went on draw card with Sam, Seth, Leah, Hannah and Gerry who all went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome and answer all of our marine biology questions. We swam with the whale sharks four times, went snorkeling twice and saw so many humpback whales! $495 may be a lot, but when you realize it covers 5 very well trained and qualified staff for at least 9-10 hours, your snorkeling gear, at least one coral snorkel, a spotter plane, a small safety boat during swims, morning and afternoon tea and lunch, and funding to support whale shark research, it's incredibly good value for money. The experience is also so much safer and less disruptive for the whale shark than some cheaper experiences in other countries. There were people of all ages and swimming abilities on the trip. You do have to be comfortable with the snorkel gear and be able to swim, but we are probably casual swimmers at best and were able to keep up. Would highly recommend!
