💡 Good to know
- Donsol’s official whale-shark season runs from November to June. Every supported plan still requires an accredited boat, a designated interaction officer, registration, briefing and safe sea conditions; a sighting is never guaranteed.
- This wildlife-led product is withheld outside Donsol’s official season and during the stormier marine period. Choose November–June or build a separate Mayon heritage trip.
