ALSO guys, remember, we chose to do this activity in DONSOL - where it is ethical to do so. It is not always 100% guaranteed you will see them but please don't go to Cebu and pay for this. In Cebu they feed the whale sharks and there have even been talks of them using a net to keep them close to their bay. This is not right. The whale sharks are huge animals and need their freedom. By feeding them for tourists sake it really isn't natural or good for them. They will end up relying on the food given to them instead of searching for it themselves in the wild. GO TO DONSOL!

It's the world's biggest fish, weighing up to 60 tonnes. Yet it's called a 'gentle giant'. We went swimming with whale sharks, locally known as Butanding, off Donsol town in the Philippine province of Sorsogon. And we discovered for ourselves why they earned the gentle giant tag.

This video is all about the vacation we had in the Philippines. We visited the two most popular sites in the Bicol Region of the Philipppines, Albay and Sorsogon after staying a couple of days in Manila. In Albay, we stayed at The Oriental Legazpi for a better view of the Mayon Volcano while in the hotel. Whilst in Sorsogon, we went to see the whale sharks of Donsol. And stayed at the Elysia Beach Resort, a walking distance resort to the whale shark interaction office.

EPIC Scuba Diving for MANTA RAYS and WHALE SHARKS in DONSOL PHILIPPINES (Manta Bowl)
30/4/19 - Donsol, Philippines - We decided to go to Donsol instead of Oslob to see the whale sharks in the Philippines. On top of snorkelling and swimming with the whale sharks, we went diving in Donsol in hopes of seeing a manta ray! We did our own research and found that this was the experience that we wanted and the way we wished to support whale shark tourism. We had a great time with our new friends, Jonay and Verónica, and, although we saw no mantas, were fortunate enough to seen a whale shark! Incredible!
Thank you so much for watching and please let me know what you thought of this vlog in the comments down below!

The whale shark guardians in Donsol, Philippines
When whale sharks came to this small village of Donsol in the Philippines, so did tourists. Now, the world’s biggest fish is becoming rarer, and so are the visitors who want to see them.

Whale Shark Interaction - Donsol, Bicol, Philippines
After 2 hours on a boat ride I finally saw a whale shark! According to the guide, they haven't seen one since November. What an adrenaline rush!
Snorkelling With Whale Sharks In Donsol, Philippines
In this weeks vlog, We Are Travel Girls founder Becky van Dijk takes you to Donosl in the Philippines. Donsol is popular with divers and tourists wanting to see whale sharks in the wild in an ethical and responsible way.
In this vlog Becky takes you on a boat ride to see the whale sharks in the area and shares with you why Donsol is a responsible alternative to swimming with whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu where whale sharks are not protected.
The community in Donsol has been supported by WWF to create a fantastic eco-tourist destination for visitors wanting to see these gentle giants. Watch this vlog to see why you should visit Donsol to snorkel with whale sharks!

Donsol, Philippines | Responsible and natural swimming with Whale Sharks
A lovely and unforgettable stay in Donsol, Philippines. We have snorkelled and dove with the biggest fishes on the planet. Our crew was perfect and we were lucky that many Whale Sharks were around at the time of our stay. Donsol is not very touristy and the “interaction zone” is big enough to have the maximum number of participating tourists split. Unfortunately we were not lucky enough to also see Manta Rays which remain a dream :)
Leave a comment what you think and if you saw Whale Sharks and/or Manta Rays…

Whaleshark Interaction, Donsol, Philippines

Donsol, Legazpi, Philippines - Whaleshark Interaction
Donsol, Legazpi, Philippines - Whaleshark Interaction 2013 Enero! Guatemalans on the beach.
Whaleshark Interaction - Donsol
Went to Donsol, Sorsogon during Labor Day weekend to experience their famous Whale Shark Interaction and it did not disappoint. The 14 hour bus ride we took from Manila was absolutely worth it.
Locally known as the Butanding, they are the largest fish in the world and from around February to May, these gentle giants flock by the dozens to Donsol to feed on plankton, their primary diet.
At your guide's signal you jump as quietly as you can from the boat and swim towards the direction he's pointing. Keeping your head down and your eyes open, you get a few moments of unnerving anticipation as you wait for the shark to appear. A big black mass of a shadow is all you see at first but once close enough, you'll be able to see even the dotted pattern on its skin. By then you have to keep pace with the giant below you as it goes about its business.
Sufficient distance from the butanding is to be observed and absolutely no touching or risk being sent back straight to dry land if you do so. Once they go deeper or if you need a breather, just stop and wait for your boat to pick you up and get ready for another go with a different shark, or probably the same one, who would ever know?
