Coral Bay Ecotours
Your tour begins at 7:30 am at the Coral Bay Ecotours office, followed by a short bus transfer to the jetty to board the vessel. Then we head out for your first reef snorkel experience in the beautiful coral gardens, where you may encounter numerous fish, reef sharks, and other marine species. After morning tea, we begin our journey to the outer reef. By this time our spotter plane is already searching for our whale sharks and informing us of any other exciting marine life spotted along the way! We will do our best to allow you to experience as much wildlife as possible during our tour. Once our spotter plane has found a whale shark, our boat will make its way there. Guests will be split into 2 groups of 10 and take turns to swim with the whale shark. To ensure that we don’t disturb its natural habits, we are allowed a maximum one hour of swimming time with the whale shark. We stop along the way home for a second reef snorkel at a different site.

Wow, is all I can say about this tour company. Everyone is amazing, they work so well together and they make sure that you have an amazing day. Our tour was fantastic! We got to see a Manta Ray in the morning and it was great! Then we went on to look for whale sharks. The spotter plane goes up and they let you know where to go. We were so lucky to swim with a whale shark twice. What an incredible experience! We saw a feeding frenzy on the way home and the captain stopped the boat so we could enjoy that as well. It was so special. The food on board was great and they made sure that you were always taken care of. I would recommend this company 100%. Thank you for such an amazing experience! It made our anniversary just that more special!!
