Open Trip
Whale Shark Sumbawa
Sunrise departure into Saleh Bay to swim respectfully alongside the gentle giants.
Overview
Our signature open trip leaves from Labuhan Jambu before dawn. As the sun rises over Saleh Bay, our local guides take you to where whale sharks feed near traditional fishing platforms. You'll snorkel beside them, then enjoy breakfast on board before heading back. Encounters depend on nature and are never guaranteed — we always keep a respectful distance.
