For many, the idea of swimming with a creature as massive as a whale shark can be quite intimidating. But as the saying goes, "If it scares you, try it." And trust us, this experience is worth stepping out of your comfort zone for.



Located in the north central part of Sumbawa island, Saleh bay is an ideal location for whale sharks, and they can be seen all year round. These gentle giants can grow up to 40 feet in length, are known for their peaceful nature and docile demeanor. Swimming alongside them in their natural habitat is a surreal experience that you may never forget.



To start this adventure, we highly recommend you to book the tour with a reputable operator. These tours typically depart early in the morning, when the whale sharks are most active. Please take a note on your guide's brief on the dos and don'ts when swimming with these magnificent creatures.


Swimming with whale sharks is a unique opportunity to connect with nature on a deeper level. The sheer size of these creatures is humbling, and their calm energy is infectious. As you swim alongside them, you'll feel a sense of peace and tranquility that's hard to come by in our fast-paced world.



Of course, it's important to remember that these are wild animals, and we're simply guests in their habitat. Respect and caution should be exercised at all times. Your guide will be sure to keep a safe distance between you and the whale sharks, while still allowing for an unforgettable experience.


Aside from swimming with whale sharks, Saleh Bay also offers plenty of other activities for adventure seekers. Snorkeling, diving, and beachcombing are just a few of the options available.



So what are you waiting for? If you're ready to push your limits and try something new, swimming with whale sharks in Saleh Bay is an experience you won't want to miss. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most rewarding experiences in life are the ones that initially scare us. ©bppdntb
