  Fabulous experience! We absolutely loved our day out on the water swimming with a beautiful whale shark. Thank you to the crew (Hannah, Jack, Jen, KP and Seth) for their knowledge and care for all members on board. We would highly recommend three islands to any visitors to Exmouth

• Fantastic day on the reef!

  Whale Shark Tour - What an amazing experience. From the moment we were picked up to drop off, the tour was fantastic. We managed to get 2 swims with a whale shark, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You're well looked after on the boat and in the water - even for those who aren't confident in the water. I would highly recommend this tour!

  The staff and crew were amazing. Very friendly and informative. We were picked up from our place and informed of the day ahead from the very start. Although we didnt see any whale sharks on the this trip( it is very early season and we were informed that it may or may not happen before we started) we did see dugongs, turtles, dolphins and killer whales which were all amazing to see. Sea sickness tablets are recommended if it affects you. Great lunch. We were offered either a voucher, rebook or $100 cashback due to their whale shark promise. Great tour, great staff in a beautiful location. Highly recommend. Free photos by the on board photographer too.

• Incredible whale sharks and crew.

  From booking to being on the boat staff were overly helpful and reassuring. Boat crew just so supportive and encouraging during the trip and being in the water. If I were fortunate enough to be in Exmouth again I’d do it again. Just amazing to see the sharks up and close 😊

  From the moment we were picked up from our hotel to the moment we returned we had a fabulous day. I can’t remember individual names, but on our bus we had two staff members who were most welcoming and informative about what our day would consist of plus lots of information about the places we passed on our bus en route to the boat. Our day was perfect - we saw and swam with whale sharks, humpback whales and turtles swam past our boat and during our two snorkels we saw a myriad of tropical fish of all colours. We had a professional photographer on board who went out of her way to ensure that we were all included both on the boat and in the water. All the wonderful photos were available for us to download the very next day. We had been warned that as it was getting towards the end of the whale shark season we might not see any, but we actually had the opportunity to complete 3 swims with those amazing creatures. The crew were incredibly efficient at managing us in the water so that we were all able to swim comfortably alongside the whale sharks. I definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Our boat was very comfortable Safety was a high priority Morning tea, lunch and afternoon drinks were all delicious and plentiful The team from 3 Islands were amazing. They really exhibited the very best of teamwork and nothing was too much trouble. I’m pretty sure that every one of them touched base with me and my husband at some stage during the day.

• Once in a lifetime marine experience!

  This was simply one of life's magic moments. My daugther and I dove with 3 Island Whale Shark dive in July and it was the amazing experience. The all girl crew were absolute professionals, provided exceptional commentary and gave great instruction on how the experience would run. We were never in doubt about how we had to approach the water and our experience. The team were attentive, we felt safe and secure at all times and created a lifetime memory. We dived with 4 whale sharks, saw humpback whales and dugongs and turtles. The vessel was clean and extremely well presented. Lunch was great! The equipment was in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this company and it is worth every cent you pay for this fantastic experience. We will remember this for years to come. Thank you!

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• A dream come true - swimming with Whale Sharks

  When I first heard about this I had my doubts that you could actually do this. There were so many variables; weather, would the whale sharks still be there, would they just whiz by ….etc., etc., The day came and we arrived and were greeted by the friendly crew. We had already been collected from our hotel by two members of the crew. We were given a briefing and snorkel equipment en-route to our first stop, a snorkel at a spot on the inner reef. This was to test the masks etc. but we saw numerous fish, a big sedgefish? that looked like a shark and, a reef shark. We then proceeded to the outer reef. The company has two boats sharing a spotter plane. We were soon preparing to enter the water. The photographer enters first and swims showing the path of the shark. The captain, Jerry, positions the boat and then we are instructed to enter the water with another crew member. We form a line and when the shark is near, we were instructed to put our faces in the water. We watch the shark go by and then we can follow and then move up to swim alongside it, keeping behind the dorsal fin and 3m from the body and 4 from the tail. I held a GoPro, so just used my fins for swimming. It was an amazing experience, better than I could have hoped for. We had two groups on our boat but were in and out of the water as we rotated. There was little time between swims, which was fantastic. We had six swims in total with three different sharks. We were with the shark for roughly six minutes at a time, which felt like much longer, a real privilege to be able to swim with them. After the last swim a whale shark appeared at the surface, millimetres from the boat. We had a refreshing lunch then sighted a mother and calf Dugong and numerous humpbacks. We then moved inside the reef for another snorkel and swam with a turtle. The crew were fantastic and Molly, the photographer was outstanding, swimming for so long alongside the shark and directing its path to us. Words can not fully describe the experience.

• A magical day exploring the wonders of Ningaloo Reef, loved it!

  We did two tours with 3 Islands as we wanted to make sure we got to swim with the whale sharks. Both trips were successful and we had multiple swims with these amazing creatures. The staff are incredible and run the tour incredibly efficiently. (Food also great). Our second trip had calmer weather and although our whale shark swims weren’t quite as good as the first trip, we had some amazing reef snorkeling, swimming with reef sharks and rays and many beautiful fish. Also from the boat we saw turtles, and many humpbacks which was a thrill and even a dugong! It really was such a memorable day. Thanks Fab, Jen, Isla, Aimee and crew 😘

• The full package, you couldn't ask for more

  We couldn't have asked for more! A really cool , extremely knowledgeable and friendly crew, 5 for 5 successful dives with the whalesharks, stunning snorkeling, good food, a comfy boat (with toilet), and a beer and champers on the ride back to shore
