From April to September, the cooler waters off the country’s north-east coast provide the perfect location to see large numbers of whale sharks that gather to feed. The unique excursion takes guests on a high-speed catamaran to view these majestic creatures. A whale shark expert is on board to help educate guests, along with a professional photographer to capture guests’ experiences.

In addition, Banana Island announces the reopening of its surf pool. After a full renovation, the surf pool once again adds to the wide selection of watersport activities available at the resort.
