Gorontalo Whale Shark Tour




The whale shark (Rhincodon typus) is the largest fish species in the world. Some areas with regular appearances of whale sharks every year are in the waters of the Cenderawasih Bay in Papua, Talisayan in East Kalimantan, Probolinggo in East Java and Botubarani in Gorontalo. However, the accessibility to see whale sharks in Gorontalo is the easiest.

The Gorontalo whale shark tour is just a short distance from Gorontalo, Botubarani village. This village is renowned for its frequent sightings of whale sharks and has quickly gained fame as a prime location for encountering these gentle giants. 
These whale sharks can be seen in the clear, warm waters of Tomini Bay, providing an unforgettable experience for snorkelers and divers. The tours are operated with a strong emphasis on conservation and respect for marine wildlife. The local guide ensures the interactions are safe and sustainable for visitors and the whale sharks.
Unlike other spots, the whale sharks in Botubarani often come close to shore, making them accessible even to those who might not be strong swimmers. Local fishermen have developed a unique bond with the whale sharks, drawing them closer with safe and sustainable feeding practices. Visitors marvel at these magnificent creatures and learn about ongoing conservation efforts to protect them and their natural habitat.
