About this list

Thresher shark seasons differ by country, and even within one country operators give different months. Maptlantis took the 6 operators that name the thresher shark as a target species and state their program season in months, and counted those months as written. The 13 that only say year-round are counted separately. The months most operators name are Jan–Nov. The countries with the most operators are Egypt (Mar–Nov), Maldives (Dec–Apr) and United Kingdom (Jul–Oct). 11 of the 19 operators (58%) publish prices on their own channels, so you can compare those directly; ask the rest. Estimated prices are not shown. The months are the operating periods operators state, not a promise that the animals will appear. No wildlife program can guarantee an encounter, and even within the same month it depends on the sea and migration routes.

Thresher shark season by country

The darker a cell, the more of that country's operators name the month as their season. A ringed cell is a month operators single out as the peak. Operators that only say year-round are not counted; their number is shown next to the country.

Sourced thresher shark seasons

Seasons stated by tourism boards, research bodies and local operators. Each entry has a source link and a check date, and none is mixed into the operator counts above. An entry with a region name is a source about that region, so it is not used as the whole country's season.

Frequently asked questions

When is the season for seeing thresher sharks?

Combining the seasons of 6 operators, most fall in Jan–Nov. The table by country shows how many operators run in each month.

What does a year-round listing mean?

13 operators only say their program runs year-round. That means bookings are taken all year, not that the animals are there all year, so those listings are left out of the monthly count.

If I go in one of these months, will I see thresher sharks?

That is not guaranteed. The months are when operators say they run programs; actual sightings vary from year to year with sea conditions, water temperature and migration. Ask the operator about recent sightings before you book.
