Description

Have you ever thought about swimming alongside ocean giants? We make it a reality! Join our journey through the Mexican Caribbean with the incredible whale sharks, the world's largest fish. From late May to September 17th, it's an all-inclusive adventure that's safe and exciting.

The best part is that we offer round-trip transportation to this adventure from different locations such as Cancun, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Puerto Aventuras, and Tulum. Simply select the date that suits you best, provide the name of your hotel or address where you'll be staying, and book online to explore the fascinating underwater world of whale sharks.

Pickup time at your hotel or AirBnb is around 6 a.m. for Tulum, 6:45 a.m. for Playa del Carmen, and 7:30 a.m. for Cancun.

These whale sharks, up to 12 meters in length, are a true wonder. They're giants with grace, and you'll be amazed by their peaceful presence.

The van will drop you off at the marina around 8 am, where you get a light breakfast and we answer any questions you may have. Once you're ready, you'll embark around 8:40 a.m. and sail to the east of Isla Mujeres.

A boat ride of approximately 50 minutes will take you to the feeding area, where you'll spend between 2.5 and 3 hours searching for and swimming with the whale sharks. Following regulations, you'll perform jumps in pairs, always accompanied by a certified guide.

On average, each pair will complete between 2 and 3 jumps with the whale sharks. However, this can vary depending on sea conditions and the number of whale sharks present in the area.

And the surprises don't stop there! If luck is on your side, you might even encounter dolphins along the way or swim with enormous mantas!

After the adventure, you'll make a reef snorkeling and then it's time to refuel! Enjoy shrimp or fish ceviche, along with fresh fruits, all against the stunning backdrop of Playa Norte at Isla Mujeres, one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

Around 2:30 p.m., you'll arrive at Punta Sam, where the van will be waiting to safely take you back to your hotel.

Don't miss this opportunity! Imagine sharing the waters with these magnificent whale sharks. Ready for an adventure? Book online now and experience something that will stay in your heart forever!

IMPORTANT NOTES.

Our primary objective is to offer an unforgettable experience of swimming with whale sharks. It's important to note that whale sharks are not kept in captivity; they live in their natural habitat. Consequently, our expeditions can lead to varying outcomes. You may have the good fortune of encountering numerous whale sharks, come across only a few, or, in rare instances (about 5% of the time), not spot any at all. Nonetheless, every expedition with us promises exciting possibilities!

In the event that you don't have the chance to see any whale sharks during your excursion, we provide you with a "Whale Shark Sighting Warranty." This means you have the option to reschedule your tour or receive a certificate that allows you to take the tour again. The certificate has no expiration date.
