What To Expect

The adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to Cancun. From there, you will take a boat ride to the waters surrounding Isla Mujeres, Contoy and Holbox. This is the area where whale sharks come to feed on plankton and where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico. 

Once you spot the whale sharks, you will get ready to swim in pairs, accompanied by a guide. Your guide will instruct you on the best way to swim nearby the whale sharks.

The trip ends with a light meal of delicious, fresh ceviche prepared right before your eyes. Then you will return to the port to board the transportation back to the hotels.
