 Please note: You are advised to keep a 3′ distance between you & the Whale Shark. Their Tails are very powerful & you could get "Slapped" if you're too close. OBVIOUSLY there is NO TOUCHING, GRABBING, RIDING, the Whale Sharks. Failure to Follow the Captain's Orders will result in IMMEDIATE Removal from the water after the First & "only" WARNING !!!!!

Guarantees


** Note: It is important to know that we cannot control nature, therefore we do NOT guarantee the snorkeling with the whale sharks nor the sightings.

We offer the Whale Shark Tour from mid-May to Mid-September, but we strongly recommend to make your reservation between mid-June to August since there is a higher possibility to see whale sharks.
