We had such a great time! Everything from the first touchpoint was seamless- from the moment we got picked up from the airport, we did not have to think about anything, everything was arranged for us and we just had to relax and enjoy. The absolute highlight was swimming with the whale sharks. Though we start early, we were pleasantly surprised to find cushions and blankets on the boat so we could catch up on our sleep, and got offered a breakfast. From the swim it self we have amazing videos and felt safe the whole time. Would recommend 100%. It is quite an experience.

Лодка взбивает люминисцирующий планктон в воде, чёрное небо сияет созвездиями, в ночи рыбаки поливают рты колоссальных созданий. Залив Салех медленно светлеет. Розовое небо, лучи встающего солнца из-за горизонта, вулкан Тамбора. Но долго наслаждаться картиной не выйдет, ведь под водой шестиметровая китовая акула... Спасибо организатору, гиду и команде. Все прошло прекрасно

It was an incredible adventure! I saw the biggest fish in the world, and I swam with them. Thanks to the team who organized this trip for me. I had my pick of many companies, and this one gave me the best conditions. I also want to note that the guides were very friendly. They helped me with transfers and accommodations. Everything was organized perfectly! They took great photos and videos; all my friends are jealous! I highly recommend traveling with this company!

Un immense merci à Andi pour cette matinée incroyable. Nager avec un requin-baleine était un vrai rêve de voyageuse, et le vivre dans de si bonnes conditions, avec une belle éthique et beaucoup de respect pour l’animal, a rendu ce moment encore plus magique. Andy a été très à l’écoute et adorable du début à la fin. J’en ai pris plein les yeux et je recommande cette expérience à 100% 🤍 A huge thank you to Andi for this incredible morning. Swimming with a whale shark was a true traveler’s dream for me, and experiencing it in such good conditions, with great ethics and respect for the animal, made it even more special. Andy was so kind and attentive from start to finish. I was absolutely amazed and I 100% recommend this experience 🤍 Sahra

Fantastic experience, very well organized. Andy and his team met all our expectations. The program was tailor-made. Andy was very responsive and professional when an unexpected issue arose regarding our trip to Sumbawa. Attentive service. We were lucky enough to see whale sharks and swim alone with them. We left with some beautiful photos and videos. Thank you again, it was incredible. Flo and Ted

Хочу сказать огромное Благодарю!!! ребятам за профессионализм. Это было незабываемо путешествие, одно из лучших, в которых я побывал в индонезии. Хочу отметить заботу и моментальные ответы в ватсап по всем вопросам. Энди помогал в выборе отеля, консультировал, скидывал все материалы и подробности по туру. Чувствовалось, что ты важен им, как клиент. Мы поехали в групповой тур. На лодке с нами было 5 туристов, всем уделили так много внимания для фото и видео, что точно каждый остался доволен. Тут же в конце поездки нам перекинули все материалы на телефоны. Я удивился, насколько это просто и круто! 🙌🏻 Из отеля ребята забирали нас на байке, но это всего 5 минут до порта. Подъем в 3:30 утра, отправление в порт в 4, лодка отбывает где-то в 4:20 - 4:30. Утром лучше чуть подождать, чтобы другие лодки насмотрелись на акул и чуть позже зайти в воду, потому что свет становится красивым под водой, когда выходит солнце. Плавали мы примерно до 8:45. В отеле мы были в 10:20. Еще раз благодарю ребят за их работу! Молодцы Примерно такой

What an absolutely fantastic experience made even better by the wonderful team at Go Whale Shark. Andi and the team were brilliant with our family from start to finish - answering my many questions on What’s App to capturing incredible footage of our time with the whale sharks, to arranging everything for us with travel and accommodation, it was absolutely amazing. We were lucky to see 3 whale sharks which absolutely exceeded our expectations. They took great care of us all, but really helped our two children feel comfortable in the water with the whale sharks. It was wonderful to visit the educational centre too - having some time to learn more about the conservation efforts and the importance of Saleh Bay for the Indonesian whale sharks felt like a perfect way to end the visit. We can’t recommend the team enough. Thank you for making this once in a lifetime trip come true!

Our trip with Go Whaleshark Sumbawa was absolutely incredible. Everything was perfectly organized—from the transfers before the tour to the care during and after. What mattered most to us was choosing an ethical tour, without large groups crowding the whale sharks. Andi and his team exceeded our expectations. The small group approach made the experience calm, respectful, and truly special. Before entering the water, we received a clear and important briefing emphasizing respect for the animals—especially not touching them. This made us feel confident that the tour was responsible and well-managed. Seeing these magnificent yet gentle creatures up close was breathtaking. The team also captured everything beautifully with stunning photos and videos, giving us memories we will treasure forever. Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience!

Andi was excellent with communication over WhatsApp and quickly organised road transport, accommodation and our trip out to see the whalesharks. It was effortless. Andi and his team are attentive, enthusiastic and really want to deliver an unforgettable experience. They certainly did that. The team is calm and friendly which created a smooth and enjoyable time. Haikal took some amazing footage whilst being respectful and considerate of the gentle giants in the water. Our experience with Go Whale Shark Sumbawa was incredible. The whale sharks sell themselves, they are so beautiful, but Andi and his team combine the whole trip and make it unforgettable. Very professional, respectful and kind. The interactive information centre in Labuan Jambu is excellent and well worth a visit to learn about the research & conservation. Thanks team, we think you’re amazing!

This has been one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Not many people visiting Indonesia are aware of this place and activity, which makes it even more special. If you’re looking for a truly unforgettable, dream-like experience, I highly recommend booking with this company. The owner, Andy, and the cinematographer, Heikel, are both incredibly professional and genuinely wonderful people. Simply give Andy a call, and he will take care of everything for you. I am from Bangladesh, and I had this whale shark activity in the third week of March 2026.
