'It's like a real-life aquarium (we swam with turtles, reef sharks, and so many beautiful fishies) - just magic.'
While sharing several photos of her adventures, the author and law graduate also revealed some advice for fellow travellers.
'P.s take travel calm if you are doing the whale shark tour,' she said.

Henshaw said she has been 'disturbed' by sexist content she has recently come across on social media.
'I've been really disturbed by some of the content I've seen on social media in recent times, men expecting women to clean the house, stay at home, that men need to take back their power,' she said.
'I wanted to explore where this content is coming from and the consequences for women.
'My hope is that men and women both share this podcast and that it goes some way to addressing some of the sexism online.'
Henshaw and Smith launched KICPOD in March 2019 which sees the duo engage in deep, meaningful and relatable conversations on wellness, mental health and life challenges.

West Coast Eagles champion Jeremy McGovern and son Hudson launch cheeky Street X shirts after viral moment
Hudson McGovern has officially upstaged his father, retired West Coast premiership hero Jeremy. The former Eagle's son stole some of the limelight of McGovern's lap of honour alongside fellow retiree Dom Sheed on Sunday, 'flipping the bird' to the crowd as he followed in his father's wake. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the moment during a replay of the celebrations, sending the cheeky act viral. Even rising West Coast star Harley Reid, who was fined for the same action in round two against Brisbane, saw the funny side, liking the original post. 'Respect 🫡', Reid commented. Many fans joked the moment could call for a punishment from the AFL with former Eagles ruckman Nic Naitanui posting the video to his Instagram story with the caption, 'Send him straight to the tribunal haha'. Now, apparel brand Street X are offering fans their chance to revel in the moment with an exclusive line of T-Shirts, with all proceeds to go to charity. The design features a blue and gold print of Hudson giving the finger on a black background called the 'Give 'em the bird tee'.

Rosie O'Donnell shocks with new slimmed-down figure as she champions weight loss drug Mounjaro - after fleeing Trump's US for Ireland
Rosie O'Donnell has shocked with her new slimmed-down figure - after crediting controversial weight loss drug Mounjaro for the astonishing result. The 63-year-old, who has been embroiled in a long-running public feud with US President Donald Trump, has dramatically dropped down to a size 12. O'Donnell looks unrecognisable after the dramatic shift, which resulted in a face slimming effect. In a photo posted to Instagram on Wednesday, O'Donnell showed off her transformation in a slimming figure-hugging all-black athleisure outfit. The makeup-free snap showed the barefoot talk show host in a changing room on a shopping spree for new clothes ahead of a trip to Australia. O'Donnell will make her way Down Under in the coming weeks to perform her one-woman show, Common Knowledge, at Sydney's Opera House in October, where she will reflect on her recent move from the US to Ireland. Taking to the caption of her latest post, she praised Mounjaro for its "life-saving" effect on her overall confidence and ability to help shed weight. "Ok, so went shopping to buy a comfy lounge wear outfit for my 22-hour flight to Australia," O'Donnell wrote. "I was undecided as I can't see myself in this new, smaller body. "I am shocked, I'm a 12 - Mounjaro is a lifesaver." Mounjaro is an obesity medication that was initially used for treating type 2 diabetes until it gained popularity for its weight loss effects. The drug is in demand among Hollywood's elites as an alternative to conventional weight loss methods, which may not guarantee a lower number on the scale for people suffering underlying health conditions. O'Donnell's celebrity friends flocked to the comments to praise her trimmed-down figure, with actor Brad Garrett writing, "You look great". Meanwhile, Canadian singer Jann Arden said she was "super impressed" by the media personality's efforts, adding, "You look wonderful." "Snatched for the God," chimed actor Billy Porter. Another person said they were so glad O'Donnell was feeling healthier and happier after getting the help she needed to make a change. "You look fantastic. My mouth dropped. Gorgeous, but you always were," one more person said. "I love it! Very cute and looks comfortable! Excellent choice! Have a safe flight. You look fantastic," another fan said. O'Donnell was prescribed Mounjaro in January 2023 and said she immediately shed about 4kgs before dropping from an XL to a size 12. She took to TikTok in March to boast about her "shocking" new size. "I am on Mounjaro for my diabetes, and one of the side effects is you lose weight," O'Donnell said in a video. "But (the weight loss) is also because I had a chef for over two years in Los Angeles, and I don't have a chef now. "It's me cooking for (my son) Clay and me." It comes after O'Donnell moved from the US to her father's home country of Ireland with Clay in January after Trump's presidential re-election. At the time, she said she was "heartbroken" by the state of US politics amid her long-standing feud with the 78-year-old Republican. O'Donnell and Trump's long-standing disagreement dates back to 2006 when she publicly blasted him for holding a press conference to reinstate Miss USA Tara Conner, who had violated pageant guidelines. In response, Trump called O'Donnell 'a woman out of control', and the pair have since continued to wage a war of words on X, where he has said O'Donnell was "very vicious to him" and she "deserves" his disapproval.
