Snorkeling with whale sharks
Sumbawa is an island inexperienced by tourists, located near Lombok, an hour and a half by plane from Bali. Most often, the island attracts tourists who are keen on surfing, as there are good waves and there are no large crowds of people at the spots like in Bali. But the island is not appreciated at all, because here you can see amazing natural landscapes, swim with whale sharks and spend your vacation in an interesting and active way.
Whale sharks are cute giant creatures that are on the brink of extinction. They live for about 100 - 150 years and feed on large amounts of plankton, small fish and crustaceans. These are not predatory animals and are absolutely safe for humans in the water.
It is incredible to imagine that you can swim very close to these giant fish and for this, you do not have to scuba dive, they can be seen on the surface and during snorkeling.
Are you ready to fill your life with bright unforgettable impressions and another incredible event in your life?
