Set off on a marine photo safari to spot Bryde’s whales - the largest marine mammals in Thailand. Enjoy a …

The Bryde’s whale photo safari exceeded all expectations, honestly. Everything was very well organized: early departure, breakfast on board, a briefing, and a small group. It really felt less like a mass tour and more like a real marine expedition. We spotted the whales several times, and they came surprisingly close - sometimes just 20–30 meters away - so photos and videos turned out great even on a regular phone. The crew works carefully, no rushing, giving you time to simply watch and enjoy the moment. Lunch on board was simple but decent, though on a trip like this it’s not the main thing at all. The day is long, but not tiring. The impressions are incredibly strong. A rare and powerful experience that I’ll definitely remember.
