FAQ & Requirements
Is it safe? Yes. Whale Sharks are filter feeders (they eat plankton and small fish) and are harmless to humans. However, you must be a confident swimmer.
Is sighting guaranteed? While they are wild animals, the sighting rate in Saleh Bay is over 95% because they stay around the fishing platforms for food.
