Whale Shark Tour Puerto Princesa | Swim with Whale Sharks & Dolphins Watching | Tour Z

Yes, our tours are 100% ethical and follow a "Strictly No Feeding" policy. Unlike other regions, we do not bait or domesticate whale sharks (Rhincodon typus). We respect their natural migratory patterns in the Sulu Sea, ensuring that every encounter is wild, respectful, and compliant with international marine conservation standards.

The primary difference is that Tour Z in Puerto Princesa offers a wild, non-exploitative encounter. While Oslob uses artificial feeding to guarantee sightings, Tour Z focuses on authentic sightings in the open ocean. Our approach prevents the disruption of migratory habits and skin infections caused by poor water quality and overcrowding found in "feeding-line" tourism.

Yes, our tour is the only "2-in-1" marine expedition in Palawan that combines whale shark swimming with wild dolphin watching. Because we use high-speed boats, we can navigate between the plankton-rich surface waters where whale sharks feed and the deeper channels where pods of Spinner and Bottlenose dolphins are resident.

Our 30ft precision speedboat offers superior safety, speed, and comfort compared to loud, slow wooden Bangkas. We reach the sighting zones in 20 minutes instead of 90, allowing us to "beat the crowds" and spend more time with the animals. Additionally, our quiet 4-stroke engines minimize underwater noise pollution, which is less stressful for the dolphins.

We offer a unique "2-in-1 Success Guarantee" for our combined expedition. If our team locates only one type of animal (for example, you swim with Whale Sharks but we do not find Dolphins, or vice-versa), we provide a 25% refund per person. In the rare event that neither species is encountered, we provide a 50% refund. This transparent policy supports our 100% wild and ethical approach; because we never use artificial bait or feeding to force encounters, we ensure you only pay the full premium rate when the full expedition is a success.

The peak season for whale shark migration in Palawan is from April to October. During these months, the waters of Honda Bay are rich in plankton, attracting these gentle giants. We recommend booking your tour around the full moon phase, as tidal currents during this period often result in the highest concentration of sightings.

Absolutely. Our professional guides provide a full safety briefing and high-quality USCG-approved life vests for all guests. Non-swimmers can enjoy the tour from our stable speedboat or stay near the guide in the water. We maintain a small group limit of 12 guests to ensure personalized attention and safety for everyone.

Every Tour Z expedition includes a free professional media package featuring drone footage and an edited social media reel of your trip. We also provide premium snorkeling gear (anti-fog masks and fins), a curated coastal lunch box, and round-trip hotel transfers, ensuring a true VIP experience with zero hidden costs.
