For a few months each year, whale sharks congregate very close to the coast of Gorontalo, feeding on shrimp. This provides an incredibly accessible and reliable opportunity for snorkelers to swim with the world's largest fish without needing a long boat journey.
Features
A seasonal aggregation of whale sharks that come very close to the shoreline near a fishing village. Interactions are managed by the local community and are typically done via snorkeling from small boats.
