The best time for a Whale Shark and Komodo tour is from April to November. During this period, the weather is generally more favorable, with calmer seas, clearer skies, and better underwater visibility.
We highly recommend booking this tour at least 4 months in advance. This experience is very popular, and private cabins are limited, especially on deluxe and liveaboard boats.
Moreover, the period from June to August is considered peak season, when demand is significantly higher. During these months, cabins often sell out quickly due to the dry season and holiday travelers from Europe and America.
If the activity must be canceled due to unsafe weather conditions, your safety will always be our top priority. In such cases, we will carefully recalculate the total cost based on the activities that have already been completed.
Any activities that could not be carried out will be fully refunded accordingly. We always aim to handle this process transparently and fairly, ensuring our guests feel comfortable and well taken care of.
