Excluded

Things to Know

  • While whale shark encounters are typically successful (around 95%), these are wild animals and sightings cannot be guaranteed. On rare occasions, whale shark watching may be suspended due to low activity, unsafe sea conditions, or extreme heat. If this happens, we’ll offer a visit to the beautiful Tumalog Waterfalls as an alternative. Please be aware that Tumalog Waterfalls requires navigating a steep road. Motorbike transport is available, but the terrain is challenging and not suitable for individuals with physical limitations.
