Overview

Be part of a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Meet the largest fish in the world – the Whale Shark. Our guides will pick you up from your hotel and take you to our private marina in Cancun, where a light breakfast awaits. The boats will be ready to begin your adventure as we set off on a scenic ride through the Mexican Caribbean, which takes about an hour to reach the area where Whale Sharks gather. Upon arrival, you’ll have the incredible opportunity to swim alongside these majestic creatures, reaching lengths of up to 10 meters (35 feet). With the support of our experienced guides and marine staff, this will surely be an unforgettable experience.

After the swim, we’ll take you to Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres, where you can relax and unwind in the shallow waters. Enjoy a light lunch and refreshing drinks before we head back to the marina and return you to your hotel.
