Whale Shark Season

A Rare Summer Window

July falls within Oman’s whale shark season. Whale sharks are rare, wild, and never guaranteed — but this is the right season to try.

We’ll do our best to spot them and swim with them safely if conditions allow. Turtles are known to be commonly around Daymaniyat Islands, so the island day is still beautiful even if we get unlucky with whale sharks.
