Is pre-booking necessary for Whale Shark Tour?
Save

Hi everyone,

Three of us are planning to see the whale sharks at the end of January.

Just a few questions: I've read that we can register for the whale shark tour at the Donsol Visitors Centre upon reaching Donsol.

- Do we need to pre-book our spots beforehand?

- Are these prices reliable? (http://www.lakwatseradeprimera.com/donsol-sorsogon-whale-shark-watching-travel-guide/)

- What time is the first trip out to sea?

Thank you!

No need to prebook, plenty of boats out there for everyone. The prices are correct as of this year. December/January is the start of another whale shark season so the price could change anytime soon... but I hope not. I don't know the first trip to sea but I can see people taking the trip as early as the sunrise or about 6am.

Hello there;

It depends on the month you get here in Donsol, but if you go here around January it is good thing because only few tourist are coming on that month, anyways about the time it depends on the sightings of the whale shark.. sometimes its early in the morning and sometime around 10am.. :) about the rates their is no changes even during the peak of the season..
