Whale Shark Experience Details

Our friendly and knowledgeable guides will make your Whale Shark watching and swimming experience the highlight of your holiday. Your guide will pick you up at your hotel in either the Riviera Maya or Cancun, then we will take you to our location and pier where the boats are waiting for the adventure to begin!

Once we find the best spot to swim with Whale Sharks, we'll get in the water and snorkel and swim with these majestic creatures. Our goal is for you to have the opportunity to jump in the water with the whale sharks at least two times, but the exact number of jumps will depend on factors such as weather and sea conditions, as well as the range are of the whale sharks. With more than 15 years of experience, we know what we are doing, and we will give you a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
