1.00Never book with this company, it tells everything is included and then they still make you pay there, the coordination between them is bad and you end up spending more and everything is overpriced there
The trip was awesome, one of the must...

5.00The trip was awesome, one of the must do before death kind of visit. Swimming with a fish the size of a bus, opening its mouth toward you, is not a experience word can describe.
A couple things you should watch for where the info didn't mentioned.
1 The spot is like a public beach with very poor facility, take your own towel and even some water. sandal/slipper, no shoe, get a swimming jacket if you go early. The day I visited they ran out of running water, me and my wife had to use our bottom water to wash up
2 There is no locker or secure spot you can store anything. The boat you are going to broad is tiny, you only have space for yourself, so hire a driver and store your belonging in the car.
3 You are not allowed to put on sun block. they would ask you to wash it off if you put it on before you arrived, they said they would send you to jail for 6 months if you violate that. and it's anyone's guess how to wash yourself up when they could run out of running water.
4 The washroom has only one slot for man and 2 slots for woman, it was usable clean when I was there, but I had to wait 20 minutes for it.
5 GET A WATERPROOF CAMERA, make sure you have float for your camera I did see people losing phone they put in water proof bag, since you will be doing a lot of chasing the shark. you don't want to miss the video/photo or worse drop your camera.
6 After you get onto the boat, you will get out side and the boat rower will get into a queue of boat. there's will be feeder boat leading the whale shark along the line. so you are guarantee to see every shark, just get into the water as soon as you can and be ready with your camera.
7 The spot is not very far from land, so if you are good with swimming, drop the life jacket and swim. but staying beside the boat would still be great, just don't stay in the boat, you would be seeing only the tips of the iceberg looking for above water.
8 You only have 30 minutes to see the shark,
