Overview

You and your companions can enjoy a unique life experience in the world. A tour that will change the way you see the Oceans.
Swimming with the Whale Shark is an experience that is experienced only for a specific season between the months of June and September of each year, this season is expected to have record sightings, because during the pandemic there were no regular visits of this tour, the sanctuary of the Whale Shark is one of the largest worldwide and is where this dominant species comes to mate, on its journey during the world's oceans and once in its adulthood the new whales return to the same sanctuary instinctively without having first met it to continue with the reproductive chain of their species, giving us a new opportunity to admire them again in their completely natural habitat. With all ecological measures
