Overview

Swim with the largest fish on Earth in one of the few places where this is possible.

Our whale shark experience is more than just a tour — it’s a rare chance to connect with one of the ocean’s most peaceful and impressive creatures in their natural environment.

A Peaceful Encounter:
Whale sharks are massive, yet incredibly gentle. Most of the individuals we see here are juveniles, but even at this young stage, they’re already between 4 and 9 meters long — truly breathtaking to see up close.

Small Groups, Big Moments:
We keep our groups small so you get space, time, and a more personal experience. You’ll be just meters away, swimming alongside these incredible animals — no crowds, just the moment.

Learn As You Explore:
Our certified guides are not just here for safety — they’re passionate about the ocean. During the trip, they’ll share stories, facts, and everything we know about these amazing animals, their behavior, and why protecting them matters.

Activity itinerary

Embark on an unforgettable whale shark swimming experience in a small group (4 to 10 people). Only 5 participants will be in the water at once, swimming for a maximum of 30 minutes with each whale shark. Our expert guide will be by your side, ensuring a fantastic experience without disturbing these incredible creatures. The 2-hour adventure offers multiple opportunities to swim with different whale sharks. If you prefer, you can also enjoy the view from the boat. Plus, keep an eye out for dolphins—encounters with these playful creatures are common. Light snack and water are included for a relaxed and enjoyable excursion. IMPORTANT TO READ : Whale shark authority regulates the activity by allowing 4 times slot (7 am, 9 am, 11 am and 1 pm), and in each time slot, only a certain number of boats are allowed. We are only allowed to ask for our time slot a day prior to the trip. That means that there is a possibility that we don't get the 9 am time slot. In this case, tour operator will contact you a day prior to the trip and offer the possibility to get on an earlier or later time slot. This is why it is important to check your email, SMS and WhatsApp message the day before the trip.
