Eco-friendly encounters

Snorkel with whale sharks

When the season is right, we run responsible whale shark tours by snorkel only, on the animals' terms.

The season

Usually November through the end of May

Sightings are seasonal and never guaranteed, which is exactly how it should be with wild animals. We will always give you the latest from the water before you commit.

Snorkelling with the gentle giants

How it works

Run responsibly, by the rules

Local ordinance protects the sharks, and we follow it closely. Here is what to expect on the day.

Departure around 8:30 AM

It's roughly a 1.5-hour boat ride out to the interaction area.

3-hour interaction limit

Local ordinance caps time with the sharks — snorkelling gear only.

Six to eight hour trips

Plan for most of the day on the water, door to door.

Snorkelling only — no scuba

It keeps the encounter calm, and the animals safe.

Published rates are subject to change without notice. We will notify reserved guests of any changes as soon as possible.
