Whale Shark Sighting Advisory

Important notice for last minute booking for tomorrow

No whale shark sightings have been recorded in the area since May 22, 2026 up to date, May 24, 2026. While this is unusual, sightings are never 100% guaranteed as these are wild animals in their natural habitat.

You may still proceed with your booking and take your chance for a sighting. However, please note that transportation fees and other services already rendered or used (such as meals, guide fees, and similar expenses) are non-refundable.

We would like to inform you that the Island Trek Tours office will be closed on December 25, 2025 (Wednesday).

During this time, online chat inquiries and phone calls will not be available. However, email support will remain open to assist with any urgent needs or concerns related to ongoing tours. Please expect minor delays in response.

Bookings made through our website for December 26, 2025 will still be accepted and arranged accordingly.

Thank you for your understanding.
