Whale Shark Encounter

Whale Sharks ( Rhiniodon Typus) are harmless sharks, not whales, they are the largest fish in the ocean, reaching over 50’ (15 m) and over 27,000 lb (12,500 kg). They are filter feeders and their favorite meal is plankton. In order to feed, they scoop these tiny plants and little animals, with their colossal gaping mouths while swimming close to the water’s surface.

Although massive, whale sharks are docile fish, you can safely snorkel with them while they are feeding in the surface, each encounter allows for two people to enter the water at a time along with your guide.

Your crew will brief and assist you throughoutthe day with information about the Whale Sharks: sex, migration, behavior, feeding patterns, how to take photos and more. They will also instruct you on how to best approach and swim with the Whale Sharks, so that your day with the world’s largest fish is a truly memorable one.

During the trip you will also have the opportunity to also see dolphins, turtles and all kinds of sea life. An amazing experience.
