Donsol is probably one of the few places in the world that can offer an almost assured whale shark sightings during the season. In the months of November through June whale sharks converge in the Donsol bay and stay for 6 to 7 months feeding on the rich nutrients coming out of the mouth of the Donsol river. Unlike other countries that offer whale shark interactions, we don’t need an advanced party of helicopters to go out and look for the sharks as they are always just limited to a very small area of feeding and grazing extremely close to the Donsol shore. That being said it is definitely one of the best bang for your buck whale shark experiences in the world! Many people go to Donsol for a few days only for the whale shark interaction (a snorkeling activity).
