Encounter Trips

We aim to go out Monday Wednesday and Friday afternoons year round, but we can schedule other trips if there are 5 or more people wanting to go.

Join us to search for the largest known fish in the world and learn how to responsibly encounter this gentle giant in its own environment.

This four hour trip includes a short lecture on whale shark ecology, all the necessary snorkel gear, and the possibility of seeing whale sharks up close and personal. Bring along your camera equipment so you can document your experience!
