10/10 would recommend! - We registered the day before and it was a great trip! :) Very professionally done and we always felt very safe. We saw turtles and manta rays and took great photos.

Adventure Goals - Can I just say, this trip was EVERYTHING?! My partner and I are adventure junkies, and swimming with whale sharks was an experience we’ll never forget. These gentle giants are so graceful and massive totally humbling to share the water with them. The guides kept the whole vibe safe and fun, and the other participants were super chill too.

Can definitely recommend! - This tour was everything I hoped it would be! We saw 4 whale sharks, and we had them all to ourselves as our guide took us to a spot away from other groups. We weren't rushed at all and could practically spend as long as we liked in the water with them. It is a long journey with a lot of driving, but worth it to see the sharks! Our guide was wonderful and took really good care of us, and broke up the journey with stops for snacks and to see the weaving village.

Excellent Experience - This was such an amazing day we got to swim with the rich underwater beauty and on what was meant to be our last jump, I didn't get to see them properly so they let us go again to ensure that I got my final chance. The guides were great.

Perfect day - We went straight to the actual manta point, which is quite far, so not every tour does this. Arriving there, we were able to see 2 mantas! We decided to stay there for a bit longer, and afterwards we sailed to a point with corals and lots of fish for a shorter period of time. Only downside: due to the turbulent ride, we got bruised as there weren’t any cushions on the seats.

The best - The guides was fantastic. There was a lot of boats out there but they found their own ways so where we were it was only a couple of boats. They had lifewests so I could have one while snorkeling. Thanks a lot for that.

Amazing experience - Excellent service; we felt safe, and had so much fun seeking out the Whales and spending time snorkelling. Absolutely stunning scenery. Fresh fruit was a bonus! Wish we could do it again. Thank you to the guide.

Highly recommend! - Even better than imagined, this trip was just amazing. The guide really wants you to enjoy this experience. We had a great atmosphere, some further information and he tried to give us as much of exclusivity and distance to other tours as possible. Always would recommend this!

Great! - A great experience! Swimming with whale sharks was amazing! The guides on the boat are on top! It’s a long drive to Sumbawa but it’s worth it for the experience ahead.

I dont recommend - The trip was not well organized. It took us 12h to go to sumbawa. The experience is great but 3h swim for such a mess with the organization. It’s definitely not worth it. My family and I didn’t feel respected and we didn’t have any commercial gesture.
