    I dont recommend

    The trip was not well organized. It took us 12h to go to sumbawa. The experience is great but 3h swim for such a mess with the organization. It’s definitely not worth it. My family and I didn’t feel respected and we didn’t have any commercial gesture.

    Response from the operator: Dear Client Thankyou for taking the time to provide your review on Trip Advisor. before the departure, our representative informed you about the whole tour itinerary, and its clear to us that you dont understand it well. our tour is a sharing tour. it means that we will do the tour with group of people. all the facilities (room, transport, boat, etc) is sharing, but we provide you free extra room without any additional charge as a complement for the inconvenience that you have during the transfer from Lombok to Sumbawa. The tour/Transport can be upgraded to private, however, there will be additional charge applied. that is why we charge you for private transfer from Sumbawa to Lombok on our way back (please note that this tour is sharing tour) On this tour, we try to find a whale sharks in it natural habitat. it is expected if the whale sharks sometimes doesn't appear in the area. what we usually do is we take you farther to make sure you meet them, and this make our snorkeling tour longer as a result. lastly, we are really sorry for the inconvenience that you have during the tour, but we already done the tour based on our company standard operational procedure. thankyou for your honest review and we hope you have a great holiday.

    Can definitely recommend!

    This tour was everything I hoped it would be! We saw 4 whale sharks, and we had them all to ourselves as our guide took us to a spot away from other groups. We weren't rushed at all and could practically spend as long as we liked in the water with them. It is a long journey with a lot of driving, but worth it to see the sharks! Our guide was wonderful and took really good care of us, and broke up the journey with stops for snacks and to see the weaving village.

    Excellent Experience

    This was such an amazing day we got to swim with the rich underwater beauty and on what was meant to be our last jump, I didn't get to see them properly so they let us go again to ensure that I got my final chance. The guides were great.

    Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lombok.

    How much does Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $271 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lombok usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lombok is not rushed.

    Is Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lombok, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lombok can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lombok and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lombok within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Lombok?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lombok experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Anggrek Putih Lombok Cooking Class & Garden Tour, Tetebatu Walking Tour - Rice Terraces, Waterfall & Monkey Forest, Rinjani trekking 2D 1N RIM. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Lombok?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Lombok?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip?

    +

    Included: Entrance Fees; Snorkeling Kits; and Guide. Not included: Lunch; Personal Expenses; and Tips for Crews. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip?

    +

    Is Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    What happens to Whale Shark Adventure 2 Days 1 Night Sharing Trip if the weather is bad?

    +
