Donsol Whale Shark Interaction is a regulated marine wildlife tourism activity based at the Donsol Whale Shark Interaction Center in Barangay Dancalan, Donsol, Sorsogon. Donsol is recognized as the Whale Shark Capital of the World due to seasonal aggregations of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) locally called butanding. Visitors join guided boat tours to observe and snorkel with whale sharks in open waters under strict interaction guidelines managed by the local tourism office.
