This season has been another incredible one.
We’ve had the privilege of encountering dozens of whale sharks — from small juveniles to massive giants, both male and female.
We also witnessed breathtaking moments where multiple whale sharks surfaced at the same time across several different spots.

The season is not over yet, and many whale sharks are still staying here in Donsol Bay. Don’t miss your chance — come now to Donsol, the whale shark capital, before it’s too late!💙

Summer in Donsol offers the best conditions for an unforgettable whale shark experience. With calmer seas, clearer waters, and an abundance of plankton, the chances of spotting these gentle giants are higher during this season.

However, whale shark sightings are never guaranteed. These creatures are wild and free, and every interaction depends on nature. That’s what makes each trip unique and exciting, it’s not just about the encounter, but the journey of searching for them in their natural habitat.

Even without a sighting, guests still enjoy the adventure, the beautiful ocean, and the experience guided by our trained Butanding Interaction Officers and dedicated boat crews.

So come and embrace the thrill of the unknown, and if luck is on your side, witness a truly magical moment.

Visit Donsol this summer, where every trip is an adventure, and every encounter is a gift. 🌊✨

According to our whale shark guide in Donsol, a magnificent individual measuring approximately 9 to 10 meters was spotted today.
Here, the ocean reveals encounters that are truly extraordinary. Among the whale sharks that visit our shores are rare giants — individuals of breathtaking scale that are seldom seen elsewhere, and according to reports, some may exceed 12 meters in length.
Swimming beside one is an unforgettable experience. At times, their immense presence feels almost surreal, as though you are gliding next to a small aircraft in the open sea.
This is more than a tour.
It is a moment of awe.
A story you will carry with you long after you leave the water.
Come to Donsol 💙
Swim with the gentle giants. Witness the extraordinary for yourself.
