Overview
This Private Tour ensures that all aspects of your journey, including ground and boat transportation, are exclusively yours. Your group will benefit from the dedicated attention of your own guide, driver, and captain. While we provide a recommended itinerary with suggested times for each activity, we are happy to customize the schedule to better suit your group’s preferences.
Witness the majestic whale sharks up close! While swimming with them is an awe-inspiring experience, it is not guaranteed. Your safety and the wellbeing of the whale sharks are our priority, and swimming will only occur under favorable conditions. If conditions allow only viewing from the boat, rest assured that the sight is still spectacular and memorable.
Should we be unable to locate the whale sharks, you have the flexibility to reschedule your tour or receive a certificate for a future tour. We are committed to accommodating your needs and will assess the situation to provide the best possible solution.
