Get comfortable while you head over to the Whale Shark refuge area on a short boat ride from the Marina. Be given a quick briefing and the rules to protect these magnificent fish.

Live this unbelievable experience with experienced and certified Captains and Guides who will make sure you have a lifetime experience. There are 4 turns to get into the Whale Shark area each day and there's a limited number of boats that go in depending on how many Whale Sharks are in the area. The turns are assigned via WhatsApp and they are given in the order in which they receive the messages. Always aim for the second turn (9 AM) but there are days that you don't get it, so you have to ask for a chance in the 3rd or 4th turn. Cannot guarantee that you will get a turn or which turn you will get until after the turns are assigned each day. Get in contact with the operator if you don't get the desired turn (9 am) to let you know the turn you got assigned.Includes
