The whale shark encounter will last for 30 minutes. After the encounter, you will have time to shower and change clothes before heading back to the van.

Next, you will be transferred to Bangcogon Wharf, where you will board a shared boat to Sumilon Sandbar. There, you can enjoy swimming and snorkeling.
