Review for: Blue Cave Snorkeling + Whale Shark Diving Day Tour

I recommend upgrading the diving experience. Both dive sites are a lot of fun, and an instructor will accompany you the entire time. The itinerary is well-organized, with about 30 to 40 minutes spent underwater, making it a wonderful experience.

Review for: Blue Cave Snorkeling + Whale Shark Diving Day Tour

I highly recommend the Blue Cave introductory dive. It is stunning, and the fish you see are even more vibrant than those in an aquarium. However, there were a bit too many people at the whale shark site, and the waves were quite rough that day, so the experience wasn't quite as good as the Blue Cave. I still strongly recommend the Blue Cave.

Review for: Blue Cave Snorkeling + Whale Shark Diving Day Tour

Wonderful day. The organization is great, and the cave tour and snorkeling are a must. However, it is crowded inside the cave. Swimming with the whale shark is also nice. Despite the many tourists around the whale shark, it's an experience to try at least once. It's rare to be able to get that close while snorkeling.
