If Whale Sharks can’t be found on the day of your visit, you are provided with a free repeat on the next available tour, which is valid for three (3) years. If you do see and swim with Whale Sharks, but it’s not a good swim (due to bad luck, severe sea sickness etc) they offer a standby repeat valid for one (1) week.
