I can recommend as highly as any adventure on earth the live-aboardcruises off the Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, 1,200 miles North of Perth. Inthe Spring, massive amounts of coral spawn attracts vast schools of krill to thereef area. Whale shark then gather to eat the krill. Flights to Perth and then toLearmonth where the boat crew provides transfers.

• One-week cruises cost $2,995 per person. Prices will fluctuatewith currency exchange rates.
• Season is March and April.
