To swim with whale sharks, you'll need to be taken further out to sea and have a certified guide along with safety measures.

Here are some recommendations to consider when booking a tour:

Before

• Consult your doctor about taking medication to prevent seasickness.
• Ensure you get a good night's rest beforehand.
• Avoid wearing jewelry or accessories.
• It's crucial to be comfortable during the journey and in the water, so make sure you have a life jacket, goggles, or snorkeling gear.
• Research the company you plan to undertake this adventure with and ensure they have certified personnel.

During

• Stay calm, as research has shown that whale sharks are comfortable with people nearby. However, avoid surrounding or accompanying them in the water with multiple people at once.
• Be cautious with the boats or transport used to reach the area, as a fast-moving boat engine could potentially harm them.

After

• We hope you remember not to leave any waste or trash behind, though it's best to avoid bringing anything that could become litter from the start of the tour.
