snorkeling with whale sharks on Sumbawa island

Sumbawa is a little-known island among tourists, located near Lombok and an hour and a half flight from Bali. It attracts mainly surfers due to its excellent waves and lack of the crowds typical of Bali. However, this island is still little known for its amazing natural landscapes and the opportunity to swim next to whale sharks, which makes holidays here interesting and eventful.

Whale sharks are majestic creatures that are critically endangered. They live up to 100-150 years, feeding on plankton, small fish and crustaceans. Sharks are not predators and are safe for people in the water. Imagine being able to swim very close to these huge fish - no scuba gear or deep diving required, just snorkeling on the surface of the water.
