Boat Ride to Whale Shark Refuge
A marine biologist leads a small group on a boat from the marina to the Whale Shark refuge. During the trip, participants receive a safety briefing and learn the rules designed to protect the animals. After putting on wetsuits and snorkeling gear, they enter the water for a close encounter with the whale sharks. Certified captains and guides oversee the experience to maintain safety and respect. Only 14 boats operate per turn, with four daily turns at 7 am, 9 am, 12 pm, and 2 pm. Morning turns require spot requests via WhatsApp the day before at 3 pm, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
