Amazing - It is a once in a lifetime tour to take. The whale sharks are incredible. Pros: Our tour guide was great, even when I got a little scared in the water, not of the whale shark, just the water in general. Lunch was nice at the Island. Cons: It does feel a little rushed and breakfast was a little small. Overall the whole experience was amazing.

No whale shark tour trip of a lifetime! - Paid over $200 for a boat ride for about a hour, saw about 40 boats I heard there was 1 whale shark never got a chance to see it. 2 people before me saw one whale shark, when it was my turn the whale shark disappeared, very congested with people trying to see it. I never seen anything. Called company they never got back to me for refund. 4 out 8 people got seasick not me. Would not recommend several other people were disappointed too!
