2 Days / 1 Night Whale Shark Experience – Saleh Bay, Sumbawa

About this tour

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime marine adventure with our 2-day, 1-night whale shark tour in the tranquil waters of Saleh Bay, Sumbawa. This immersive journey is designed for travelers seeking intimate encounters with nature, where you’ll swim and snorkel alongside the gentle giants of the sea — the magnificent whale sharks.

Starting from Sultan Kaharuddin Airport in Sumbawa Besar, you’ll be transferred through scenic countryside to the peaceful fishing village of Labuhan Jambu. This quaint coastal town, known for its proximity to traditional Bagan platforms, serves as the gateway to your early morning expedition.

The true highlight begins before sunrise as you board a private boat and cruise into the calm waters of the bay. Just as the first light of day touches the ocean, you’ll arrive at the feeding grounds of the whale sharks. From the deck, enjoy coffee and light breakfast while witnessing their graceful movements beneath the surface. Then, slide into the water and share the space with these awe-inspiring creatures in a respectful, ethical manner.

This tour is more than a wildlife sighting—it’s an emotional, humbling moment where nature’s beauty is up-close and unforgettable. Whether you’re a marine life lover, eco-adventure seeker, or content creator, this experience promises to be a highlight of your time in Indonesia.

Ideal for couples, families, solo explorers, and small groups, our 2D1N package includes comfortable accommodation in Labuhan Jambu, boat transfer, snorkeling gear, meals, and full guidance by local experts.
