Baja California Sur is one of the few privileged places in the world to receive the largest fish in the ocean every year... The whale shark!

This activity does not represent any danger to humans.

Guides and captains have to take a course and get certified every year.

The boat expedition will begin to the sanctuary of these beautiful animals to locate them and be able to swim with them, it can take from 15 to 45 minutes to find a whale shark.

In groups of maximum 5 people per shark accompanied by a certified guide at all times, you will enter the water to enjoy this incredible species.

My experience has been very positive—simply the best dives of my life. The treatment from the staff (sales team, guides, captains, etc.) was excellent, and I’m very happy. I would definitely do it again without hesitation.
