Swimming with Whale Sharks in Puerto Princesa
Swim with Whale Sharks
We'll pick you up at the time indicated from your hotel in Puerto Princesa, the largest city on the island of Palawan and one of the most beautiful spots in the Philippines. Are you ready to enjoy an exciting aquatic adventure?
Firstly, we'll head to the port, from where we'll set off on our voyage. After an hour of sailing and admiring the impressive wildlife around the coast of the island, we'll come across the famous whale sharks, considered the largest fish on the planet. They can reach up to 14 metres (45 feet) in length. But there's no need to be afraid, as they aren't dangerous. It's time to dive into the crystal-clear waters and swim with these creatures.
Afterwards, we'll enjoy a delicious buffet lunch onboard, composed of meat, fish, vegetables and other delights. Once we've eaten, we'll relax for a while under the shade of the boat before heading back to the dock. Along the way, there's a chance that we'll see other whale sharks swimming close to the boat.
We'll end this activity back at the meeting point. After disembarking at the port, we'll take you back to your hotel in Puerto Princesa, where we expect to arrive after a total of 8 hours.
