There are many advantages to the VIP Whale Shark Trip. A private boat for your group and guide – with no strangers! Also, there will be less people swimming with the whale sharks, because your boat will leave earlier than the public boats. VIP BOATS go out around 6:30 – 7:00 am.
Specific pickup and departure time will be coordinated the day before your trip. This ensures “much higher” quality swim time before other tour operators public boats show-up & it turns into Disneyland @ sea!!!!!! You get the chance to spend more time with the whale sharks and swim with them as many time as you want (as long as you follow the rules of guide and captain.) VIP BOATS go out before Public boats
