Start your eco-adventure boarding a comfortable, air-conditioned van on your hotel’s motor lobby, which will drive you to the marina for your check-in and briefing
During the briefing, you’ll get outfitted with a complete and profesional grade set of snorkeling gear (mask, snorkel, life vest, fins), and learn how to wear it properly with help from the staff. You’re allowed to bring your own gear if you want to.
Our guides will give you interesting information and facts about the whale sharks biology, enviroment and behavior. We’ll also talk about what to expect and do’s & don’ts, to guarantee an enjoyable and safe tour.
Fresh brewed coffee, fresh fruit and pastries are offered before boarding the boat. Group size is limited to 10 people per boat for a personal experience.

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.
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!

My experience with them was great. They pick you up at your location, drive to their boat launch site, provide equipment, guide, water. There are clean restrooms/change rooms, as well as a fresh water shower
