Snorkeling with sharks in the Philippines
About this list
If you want to go snorkeling with sharks in the Philippines, the useful question is not whether the sharks are there but who will take you to them that way. Maptlantis lists only the 23 operators in the Philippines that name the shark as a target species and actually run snorkeling. 18 of the 23 operators (78%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. Operators list different seasons, Mar–May, Dec–May and Nov–Jun among them. There is no single season for shark trips in the Philippines, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. Operators with structured encounter data list whale shark, monkey, sardine run, sea turtle and coral as target species. Ways to meet them: swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling and land-based watching. Whether you may enter the water and what distance rules apply differ by country and operator. Check the program details and legal status on each operator page first.
