iscover one of Indonesia’s most extraordinary marine experiences on this 2-day, 1-night whale shark adventure from Lombok. Travel across Lombok and Sumbawa to Saleh Bay, a unique ecosystem where whale sharks are regularly seen feeding naturally around traditional fishing platforms.

This carefully designed journey combines overland travel, local culture, and unforgettable ocean encounters. By staying overnight near the whale shark area, you can depart early in the morning — the best time to maximise sighting opportunities while enjoying a calmer, more relaxed experience.

On Day 2, board a traditional boat operated by the local community and sail into the peaceful waters of Saleh Bay. Once whale sharks are located, enter the water with experienced guides and swim alongside the world’s largest fish in their natural habitat. Despite their enormous size, whale sharks are gentle and slow-moving, making the experience safe and suitable for beginners and experienced snorkellers alike.

After the whale shark encounter, continue to a nearby coral reef snorkelling site where vibrant marine life, tropical fish, and colourful reef formations await. The calm conditions of the bay create excellent visibility and a comfortable environment for underwater exploration.

Throughout the trip, guides provide safety briefings, responsible wildlife interaction guidelines, and insights into local conservation efforts, ensuring the experience remains respectful to marine ecosystems.

This small-group sharing tour is ideal for nature lovers, ocean explorers, photographers, and travellers seeking an authentic adventure beyond typical island tours. Combining wildlife encounters, scenic landscapes, and meaningful local connections, it offers a rare opportunity to experience Indonesia’s marine biodiversity in a deeper and more memorable way.
