Where to find liveaboards to see tiger sharks
About this list
When you look for liveaboards to see tiger sharks, search results rarely show how the trip actually works. Maptlantis lists only operators that name the tiger shark as a target species and actually run liveaboard programs, 4 in all. Countries and regions on record include Maldives liveaboards, Hurghada and Maputo & Ponta do Ouro. Not every liveaboard program is the same experience. Approach distance, whether you may enter the water and group size limits differ by country, and by operator within a country. 3 of the 4 operators (75%) 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–Nov, Jun–Mar and Dec–Oct among them. There is no single season for liveaboards to see tiger sharks, so check each operator's operating period before you set your dates. No operator running wildlife programs can guarantee an encounter. Treat any trip that promises one with suspicion.
