Teluk Saleh 1-Day Whale Shark Snorkeling Tour

Whale sharks can be seen in Teluk Saleh throughout much of the year, but they are wild animals in their natural habitat, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. Our local team will take you to the whale shark area and do their best to find them during the morning trip.

Yes. Whale sharks are gentle filter-feeding animals and are not considered a threat to humans. However, you must follow the local guide's instructions, maintain a safe distance, and avoid touching or chasing the whale sharks.

Basic swimming ability is recommended because the main activity is snorkeling. If you are not confident in the water, please inform the guide before entering the water so they can advise you on the safest option.

No. Travelers should never touch, chase, block, or intentionally approach whale sharks too closely. Follow the guide's instructions and allow the animals to move freely during the encounter.

The tour starts at 04:00 AM from Labuhan Jambu. The early departure allows you to reach the whale shark area in the morning, when whale shark activity is commonly observed around the local fishing platforms.

We recommend bringing swimwear, a towel, a change of clothes, reef-safe sunscreen, a waterproof or dry bag for personal belongings, and any personal medication you may need. Snorkeling equipment and safety equipment are already included in the tour.
