SUPER IMPORTANT NOTES FOR YOU.
Our main goal is to swim with whale sharks however you should know that whale sharks are not in a cage or in captivity, they are in the wild, so… we may see a lot of them, very few of them or even, in some cases (2% of times) none. We are on an EXPEDITION!!!
It is required by conservation law to have at least 5 or more whale sharks in the area, for swimming with the wildlife to commence.
