Building on a successful launch, Discover Qatar announces the extension of the Whale Sharks of Qatar tour which offers guests an awe-inspiring experience while travelling in luxury and comfort.
Since the first sailing on 3 June 2022, Discover Qatar has carried over 250 passengers on the ‘Whale Sharks of Qatar - Daily Explorer’ and continues to provide guests the chance to embark on a unique journey to observe one of the largest congregations of the world’s largest living fish – the Whale Shark.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive and Chairman of Qatar Tourism, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker,
said: “We are delighted to announce the extension of this tour after much success during the last two months. This tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our guests to connect with nature in Qatar through this unparalleled experience. We look forward to welcoming more guests before the end of the season.”
This true natural wonder only occurs between the summer months of April through September. During their annual migration to the region, Whale Sharks are found feeding in groups of hundreds off the northern coast of Qatar in the Arabian Gulf.
Whale Sharks, often referred to as ‘gentle giants’, are estimated to have existed for 60 million years. They can live up to 100 years and grow up to 12 metres in length.
Guests will now have the opportunity to experience this phenomenon on the Daily Explorer with tours being extended to every Friday and Saturday until the end of August starting from QR 1,800 per adult and QR 1,350 per child.
Discover Qatar offers guests the option of sightings from a luxurious ‘Private Charter’ yacht or a ‘Daily Explorer’ tour on a high-speed catamaran. Both options include breakfast and lunch, a Whale Sharks expert guide, and Wi-Fi on the vessels.
Both tours are available to book on the Discover Qatar website until 27 August 2022. For more information
