Swim with whale sharks

Swimming with whale sharks, the biggest fish in the world, features at the top of many a bucket list. These gentle giants can grow up to a mighty 12 metres long, and floating alongside them is a feeling you'll wish you could bottle up forever. Whale shark season typically runs from April to July, but it often stretches through into August and September.
