Led by a marine biologist and limited to a small group, this experience begins with a comfortable boat ride from the marina to the Whale Shark refuge area. During the ride, you’ll receive a brief safety orientation and learn the guidelines in place to protect these magnificent animals. Once geared up with your wetsuit and snorkeling equipment, prepare to be amazed. Enter the water for an unforgettable close encounter with these gentle giants in their natural habitat. Our experienced, certified captains and guides ensure a safe, respectful, and truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Join us for this extraordinary adventure and check it off your bucket list. IMPORTANT INFORMATION Only 14 boats are allowed per turn, with 4 daily turns: 7 am, 9 am, 12 pm, and 2 pm. For the 7 am and 9 am turns, we request spots via WhatsApp the day before at 3 pm, and spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If we don’t secure a morning slot, we request a spot for the 12 pm or 2 pm turns the next morning. We will get in contact with you if we don’t get the desired turn to let you know the turn we got assigned. Please plan your schedule accordingly.
