I'm not going to comment on the trip... Only on 2 things! weird that they had told you that whale shark season was finished as June, July and August are THE y months where we can meet them. Not very often though and not that close to the bay but on Bazaruto and Two Mile Reef we have a few chances. And we had plenty of whales last august, there right on the reef. As far as prices are concerned, the explanation is pretty simple... the taxes to have a legal business here are very high. Besides the normal VAT and profit taxes, we have to pay a lot in licences and annual visits of our operations. And this reflects on the "customers" price. Too bad you didn't choose a trip that would have brought you to Two Mile Reef. I can promise you would have had a wonderful snorkeling or diving experience and you would have never forgotten the island and the stunning views you get from the top of the dune. if you ever happen to come back, try this one!
