Swim alongside the world's largest fish in crystal-clear waters around Donsol, Palawan, or Bohol. These gentle giants, measuring up to 12 meters, feed on plankton near the surface making snorkeling encounters possible for beginners. March through June offers the best visibility, and responsible tour operators maintain strict guidelines to protect these endangered creatures.

People who tried this
“After a lot of research, my family and I booked this trip to Donsol for an ethical experience with whale sharks and we are so grateful that we did. There were only me and my family on the boat and when we finally found a whale shark, it was just us in the water so the experience was calm and stress free.”
