Collection: Donsol Whale Shark and Manta Packages

The congregation of whale sharks that appear in the Donsol each year is possibly the largest grouping in the world. In peak season, Donsol is one of the best places they can be seen. This is a protected area, and there is no feeding in Donsol Bay where they congregate, and only snorkelling is allowed. However, there are plenty of chances to see them whilst diving at "Manta Bowl" outside of the bay. 

You can stay either in Donsol Bay (close to the snorkelling site) and/or on Ticao and the exclusive Ticao Island Resort which is much closer to Manta Bowl. 

Seasons:
Whale sharks can be seen from November to May; those arrival and departure dates can change from year to year. March and April are the best months. 
Oceanic manta rays are present year-round. 

How to get there
Donsol is located in Sorsogon in Luzon in the northern Philippines. You will need to fly into Bicol Airport (DRP) for this adventure! Flight is not included. 
Prices are based on twin/triple share. For 1 person, the single supplement will be billed separately after booking confirmation.
