Tour Notes

Are Whale Shark Sightings Guaranteed?

Whale shark encounters in Puerto Princesa are seasonal (April to October) and take place in their natural environment, meaning the animals are not fed or baited. As a result, sightings are not guaranteed, and there may be days when no whale sharks are spotted.
For this reason, the tour can only be confirmed once a sighting has been reported. We are usually able to confirm the availability of the tour one day in advance, depending on the latest sightings and sea conditions.

Cancellation Policy

✅ Booking Fee: 5% Non-refundable
❌ 7 days before the travel date: 100% of the total (non-refundable)

🌧️ Cancellation Due to Bad Weather: If the tour is cancelled due to bad weather, we'll offer you a new date. If that doesn't work for you, we'll issue a full refund.
