Snorkelling with Whalesharks | Labuan Jambu, Indonesia
Be one of the first few people you know to snorkel with whalesharks in Sumbawa. Labuan Jambu worked closely with Conservation International before COVID and opened up for tourism in 2019. It is now a growing destination for Indonesians and the foreigners are starting to hear about it.
These whalesharks have had a symbiotic relationship with the fishermen for decades, since they have been fishing the bay on their gigantic bagans. Before tourism started, fisherman saw the whalesharks as enemies as they stole their catch and broke their nets. Now, with the help and direction of conservation efforts, fisherman and the village of Labuan Jambu work together for a fruitful future based on good conservation and eco-tourism efforts
Please note, that we have chosen to work with very specific operators in each of the destinations we love. So before booking below, we need to double check all availabilities. It is advised to avoid public holiday weekends and to book at least 6 weeks in advance to ensure the most comfortable room availabilities and the guide availabilities.

When it comes to scuba diving in Asia, it is so important to be selective of who and where you dive with. Just as with mass tourism anywhere inherently having a negative impact on the local people and the environment, when it comes to diving, we believe it is even more important to choose carefully. Chickenfeet Travels has teamed up with a very limited number of dive operators for the above reasons and more.
