When is the best time to see Whale Sharks?

Whale sharks in Teluk Saleh, Sumbawa, typically appear from April to November, when the sea is calm, the water is clear, and the weather is ideal for snorkeling or diving. Their presence coincides with the season of small fish and plankton, their main food source.It is advisable to avoid visiting between January and March due to unstable weather, large waves, and strong currents, which often keep local fishermen from going to sea. However, visits are still possible with a confirmation two days in advance, depending on weather conditions.

Can i touch the Whale Sharks?

No. Amongst other reasons, it is a protected marine species and its skin is covered in a sensitive mucus membrane and should not be touched (thank you!)

Yes. This is the best way to interact with this amazing animal

What equipment do i need?

We provide all the equipment you need (snorkel, mask and fins), but feel free to bring your own We also suggest bringing ear plugs because of the loud sound of the boat’s engine that will be used to go to the Whale Shark location (tourism is not yet developed so that the facilities and infrastructure are still quite minimal)

Is there an age limit?

This Excursion is for families and children over 6 years old. Children must be able to swim/ snorkel

Sumbawa Whale Sharks Tour 2 Days 1 Night – Start & Finish Sumbawa

Whale sharks are the biggest fish in the ocean. And you seriously won’t believe how big they are until you’re in the ocean right next to one! Whale sharks are one of the ocean’s greatest mysteries. They’re almost constantly on the move, and they spend a lot of their time at great depths (nearly 2km deep). So little is known about their life cycles and breeding habits. They can live to be over 100 years – which is no mean feat for an animal so large.

Early trek to Poon Hill, Back to Ghorepani and Trek to Tadapani

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia.

Day 5 :

Tadapani to Chomrong

Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Dan decided to leave for the far World of Grammar.

Day 6 :

Chomrong to Dobhan (Dovan)

The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.

Day 7 :

Dovan to Deurali

When she reached the first hills of the Italic Mountains, she had a last view back on the skyline of her hometown Bookmarksgrove, the headline of Alphabet Village and the subline of her own road, the Line Lane. Pityful a rethoric question ran over her cheek.
