Been thinking about swimming with the whale shark while vacationing in Cancun or Playa del Carmen but it seems too risky or adventurous for you? Worried about how to get to the meeting point, concerned about the boat specifications, afraid about not getting the attention you deserve, stressed about your family safety? We´ve been there before, looks like nobody pays attention to this details. We've heard you and this is why we've created our own Cancun Swim With the Whale Shark Guided Tour!

Our tour has been created to fit anyone that values personal and warm service from our english speaking and well trained staff, small groups to guarantee personalized attention, fair trade (we work with local and experienced people, treated with respect and paid fair), complete professional grade snorkeling gear and comfortable, roomy, clean and safe boats. Our compromise is simple as this, no fillers or fake promisses!

Our captain in chief is a pioneer of this activity, he has been doing the swimming with the whale shark tour for 14 years,so you can be sure that you are in good hands!!

About the tour - what to expect

The whale sharks are commonly located close to Isla Contoy, 1 hour scenic boat trip from our Cancun marina. We’ll make this trip on a roomy, clean, stable and safe 32 ft. boat equipped with 2 motors 140HP each, dry storage.

Stay aware, we may find giant stingrays, giant turtles and wild free dolphins! Stay refreshed with bottled water, soft drinks and fresh fruit on board during the whole tour.

Once at the whale shark reserve, we willl slip into the water two people at a time,to snorkel with the 20-40 ft long beautiful whale sharks, the biggest fish on Earth! Of course you'll be always supervised and helped by your guide.

Once everyone is satisfied with the time spent with the whale shark, it’s time to go back.

We'll have a courtesy stop at Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, where the water is so crystal clear and the sand so white and fine that you won’t believe it.

We’ll enjoy authentic mexican made-at-the-moment fresh fish ceviche and corn chips as lunch here. You're also provided with fruit and power bars.

Before returning to Cancun, last but not least, we'll do our final stop to enjoy a sea turtle swimming. Even when the turtles are free in the wild, we swim among 1-5 turtles the 98% of the times!
