Whale Shark Cleaning Station

A shallow sandy plateau ringed by coral bommies acts as a natural aggregation point for whale sharks, which circle in to be groomed by clouds of cleaner wrasse throughout the year. Reef whitetips rest on the sand while bumphead parrotfish cruise the coral heads, and the sheer predictability of whale shark encounters here is unmatched in Malaysian Borneo. Visibility regularly exceeds 20 metres on calm mornings, making wide-angle photography both practical and spectacular.
