Swim face-to-face with whale sharks in one of the Philippines’ most unforgettable wildlife encounters. This fully coordinated tour ensures a smooth and stress-free journey, from hotel pickup in Panglao to your time in the water.

After a scenic ferry ride, you’ll attend a mandatory safety briefing before boarding a paddle boat to the encounter site.
