For me, the ride out was all part of the beauty of the tour. Sometimes you can see other things apart from just the whale sharks. For example, dolphins and birds. It is quite a long journey by boat: between an hour and an hour and a half. I guess it just depends on the guide you have. I had one called Eduardo, who unfortunately does not work there anymore. He was cool because he had a map and explained alot of things. We sort of filled up the transfer time with interesting info about the area and wildlife.
Of course, if you can avoid a big group, you will get more chances and time to spend snorkeling with them.
