Summary:
It was an early morning departure, but it was great to see whale sharks close by! I was able to see the waterfall and experience the doctor finish. Lunch was delicious in a lovely restaurant by the sea. The support of our guide Jun was also good!

Summary:
It was very early at 3:30am, but it was worth getting up early to swim with whale sharks.
It's good to have a rash guard because sunscreen is not allowed even though the sun is strong.
