What you'll see & do

Take this into consideration when planning your schedule here. The whale shark area is restricted to only 14 boats at the time, thus we get turns assigned every day. On average, we get the turn we requested 95% of the time, but some times we get a later turn on the day. This may change the meeting time.

Also, inherently to all water tours, there may be small jellyfish around (not always). Whale sharks are in their natural habitat, we can not predict 100% the conditions how we will see them: visibility, how many, or for how long.
