Best Kept Secrets

One of Oman's best kept secrets - the annual migration of whale sharks! While Oman may not be the first destination that comes to mind when thinking of whale shark sightings, our waters are teeming with these gentle giants during their seasonal migration, offering a rare and unforgettable opportunity to witness them in their most natural states. There are not hoards of other boats around them, in all likelihood you will be swimming with them all by yourselves on our private tours!

We pride ourselves on uncovering the lesser-known marvels of Oman's marine ecosystem, and the whale shark season is no exception. Contrary to popular belief, Oman is not just a playground for dolphins and turtles – it is also a hotspot for whale shark activity, with hundreds of these magnificent creatures passing through our waters each year.

September - November

The whale shark season in Oman usually spans somewhere from September to November, coinciding with the plankton-rich waters of the Arabian Sea. During this time, these gentle giants embark on their annual migration, drawn to the abundance of food available in our coastal waters. Despite their massive size – reaching lengths of up to 12 meters – whale sharks are filter feeders, subsisting primarily on plankton and small fish, making them harmless and docile creatures. They are perfectly safe to swim with.

Witnessing a whale shark in its natural habitat is an awe-inspiring experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who are fortunate enough to encounter these majestic creatures. With their distinctive spotted patterns and graceful movements, whale sharks are a sight to behold, inspiring a sense of wonder and reverence for the ocean's beauty and biodiversity.

Sustainability and Responsibility

Our sea tours offer a unique opportunity to observe these gentle giants up close while respecting their natural behavior and habitat. Led by experienced guides and marine biologists, our tours prioritize responsible and sustainable interactions with whale sharks, ensuring minimal disturbance to these magnificent creatures and their environment.

As we embark on our whale shark expeditions, our guests are treated to a thrilling adventure filled with anticipation and excitement. Whether snorkeling alongside these gentle giants or observing them from the comfort of our boat, each encounter offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of whale sharks and the delicate balance of life in the ocean.
