What an amazing day! The staff were so accommodating and supportive. Two snorkels in the reef and 4 swims with a whale shark. Best experience!

Had the most fantastic day out with the 3 islands crew. Incredibly friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Allowed us to swim with the shark 3 times and followed it up with fantasic food and drinks. Shoutout to Amy, Isla, Sasha and the rest of the crew for an amazing job! Many thanks

I want to thank Adam, Jess and their fantastic crew (including photographer Tiarnna and their female main Lead member whose name escapes me) for the fantastic whale shark drive and photos. I always felt very safe and secure with them, as there were many crew members supporting the participants onboard. The female main lead member actually saw me in distress once and immediately did the right thing to ensure I was fine. The food was plentiful and delicious. We were able to see 3 whale sharks even though it was off season and also some humpback whales from afar. What a special experience that I will never forget. One suggestion is for them to have thicker wetsuits or allow us to wear two wetsuits as it was freezing :) however overall I am very glad I booked this tour!

It was an unseasonably windy day, we were told! It was still lovely and sunny, but given it was past peak Whale Shark season, we were prepared that we might not see them - but we did! The crew were amazing and so knowledgeable. We highly recommend this trip. On a day like ours, I’d definitely recommend sea sickness tablets, as even a great crew can’t control a large swell!

4 mates covering 3 states and a territory in twenty twenty-thrive had the best time!! The weather was perfect, the staff were awesome and the marine life put on a spectacular show! From whale sharks to sleeping stingrays and a gorgeous array of colorful fish, this trip had it all….and the food was delicious topped off with a glass of bubbles to celebrate our day, a day we’ll remember forever. Thank you all so much!!

Very well run. Great young, friendly staff and all safety briefings done in a cool and clear way. Food and morning and afternoon tea provided. Lunch was excellent. We saw two giant whale sharks and large sea turtles mating! The boat was crowded with 20 but could accommodate this. The only issue is that the wetsuits were a bit worn out and should be at least 2/3 ml rather than 2 ml. A simple upgrade would import the comfort levels as you are in the water quite a long time. That did not detract from the day however.

Wow! I can not say enough about the amazing experience we had with the awesome crew of the "Drawcard" on our Whale Shark day. The crew were full of information and lots of fun to be around. Our son who has Autism was very anxious about swimming with the Whale Sharks. The lovely crew sat him down and had a little chat and he agreed to hop in. To our family this was a priceless moment and we thank them for this. The food was great and plentiful and much appreciated. The effort and knowledge to repeatedly put us right next to the Whale Sharks with almost pinpoint accuracy was unbelievable, with everyones safety in mind. We also were spoilt and taken to two seperate amazing snorkling locations. But still there is more. We are sitting here the day after the tour looking through the breathtaking photos sent to us which were all included in the package. The photographer is amazing and managed to include everyone in the photos. We have never been on a tour like it and would highly recommend this company. Our family has already decided to return and do the whole experience again when we revisit the area. I just want to say once more, the snorkling, the whale sharks and the cruise experience were great but it the whole day was complimented by the vibe and interaction of the crew.

Absolutely a 5-star operation. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Their briefings on safety, process and information about the wildlife were first-rate. They provided snacks, lunch and tea/coffee, plus a glass of champagne as a reward at the end. Nicole and Evan, who led our snorkling adventures, were outstanding. The photographer, Caitlin Grace, was not only a great photographer but a wonderful guide and conversationalist. All up, we had three turns with the whale shark as well as a practice snorkel at the reef beforehand. We were out in the open ocean past the reef, so there was a current, local chop and a big rolling swell, which made swimming more challenging, but the staff kept us calm and safe. Highly recommended.

We did the off season whale shark tour on Oct 5th, 2024. Our expectations were pretty low as it is the tail end of the whale shark season, but the trip ended up being really, really good. The crew was great & the food was varied & really nice. The crew did a great job of getting everyone into the water for the whale shark swims, which is a little bit of controlled chaos. The afternoon drift snorkle was also really good. I'm horrible with names, but the crew was really good. Marika, Annabelle,Tatiana (?) Robbie & the skipper -thanks for a fun day (and I apologize for missing & incorrect names).
