Worst experience of my life
Sumbawa Adventour的点评
点评：If you care about animals, we do not recommend visiting Sumbawa for whale shark tours.
There are other destinations, such as Donsol (Philippines), where you can see whale sharks in an ethical and responsible way, without contributing to harmful practices—and often at a more affordable price.
We came to Sumbawa with the hope of having a respectful, nature-based encounter with whale sharks. We clearly requested an experience that did not involve feeding or interfering with the animals’ natural behavior. Unfortunately, during the activity, we witnessed the sharks being fed to attract them. This kind of practice alters their habits, makes them dependent on human interaction, and may impact their health and migration.
This is not responsible tourism—it’s exploitation disguised as ecotourism. We were not informed of the feeding practices beforehand, and no ethical alternative was offered.
It is disheartening to see how a vulnerable species is treated primarily as a photo opportunity.
If you value wildlife and ethical travel, we strongly encourage you to research thoroughly and reconsider visiting Sumbawa for this purpose. There are more sustainable and respectful ways to experience marine life.
We chose not to enter the water and requested to return immediately. Although no refund was offered, we stand by our values.
Sometimes, it's better not to see the animals at all than to witness them under unnatural conditions.

翻译：如果您关心动物，我们不建议您前往松巴哇岛观赏鲸鲨。
还有其他目的地，例如菲律宾的栋索尔岛，在那里您可以以合乎道德和负责任的方式观赏鲸鲨，而不会助长有害行为，而且通常价格更实惠。
我们来到松巴哇岛，希望能与鲸鲨进行一次尊重自然的邂逅。我们明确要求体验不涉及喂食或干扰动物自然行为。不幸的是，在活动期间，我们目睹了鲨鱼被喂食以吸引它们。这种做法改变了它们的习性，使它们依赖于人类的互动，并可能影响它们的健康和迁徙。
这不是负责任的旅游——而是伪装成生态旅游的剥削。我们事先并未被告知喂食行为，也没有提供任何合乎道德的替代方案。
看到一个脆弱的物种被主要当作拍照机会来对待，令人痛心。
如果您珍视野生动物并重视道德旅行，我们强烈建议您彻底研究并重新考虑是否前往松巴哇岛。体验海洋生物有更可持续、更尊重的方式。
我们选择不下水，并要求立即返回。虽然没有退款，但我们坚持自己的价值观。
有时候，与其在非自然条件下目睹这些动物，不如完全不去看。
