Donsol is one of the few places in the world that can offer almost assured whale shark sightings from November to June. The name Donsol has become synonymous to whale sharks as the world’s largest congregations of whale sharks are found here. The whale sharks of Donsol stay in this natural environment longer than any other place in the world. With simple snorkeling equipment, you will have the opportunity to swim alongside these gentle giants.

It is not only whale sharks that Donsol has to offer, there are other eco tours available. Enjoy nature tours to rivers, caves, waterfalls, and sandbars.

Across Donsol is Ticao Island which is a fantastic day tour escape for both scuba diving and an island getaway. Ticao Island is known for the diving at Manta Bowl but Ticao has so much more to offer! From other great dive sites full of coral, fish, and critters to white sand islands, turquoise waters, beautiful rock formations, and waterfalls.
