About This Dive Spot

Taug Whaleshark Watching is located in the coastal town of Lila, Bohol. This site is known for whale shark watching, particularly from November to June, with peak sightings occurring between February and April. While whale sharks migrate through the area, they do not naturally congregate in Lila, which has led to some controversy regarding the practice. The site provides opportunities for snorkeling to observe these large marine animals in their natural habitat.
