Swim With Whale Sharks - La Paz
La Paz
Description
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!
Enjoy living this experience in the Bay of La Paz where whale sharks feed on plankton and allow us to swim with them and observe their natural habitat up close from November 15 to April 30.
This wonderful animal can reach a length of 12 meters and the average is around 8 meters. It is an animal revered in many cultures of the Asian coasts due to its incomparable beauty and gentleness despite its enormous size.
This activity does not represent any danger to humans.
It is important to book in advance in order to guarantee getting a slot and entering the Whale Shark Sanctuary, as there is currently a very established code of conduct in place whereby only a limited number of boats can be in the area for a two hour period, and the authorities have access to the real-time position of each of these boats.
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.
Enjoy the grace and gentleness of the world's largest fish.
Swim with the largest fish in the world and live one of the most impressive experiences of your life. You will not regret!

Very responsive on what’sapp and gave clear information on the tour and how to get there. The place is very pretty! The tour guide and the boat captain were friendly. We had 4 stops in our snorkel tour as planned. Visibility was not great , but it was still amazing. I hope to go back for scuba diving one day. I also liked that they keep things real: (1) do not try to sell things that may not happen (due to nature), (2) they do not put additional fees - what they tell you is what you pay (very different than other tours I have seen around Los Cabos) One point to highlight is that the boat is small, so if the ocean is rough it may not be the best for people that get sea sickness.
