About this tour: Swim with Whale Sharks

What makes this tour a once-in-a-lifetime experience?

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure as you swim alongside the majestic whale sharks—the largest fish in the world! This incredible experience allows you to witness these gentle giants up close in their natural habitat, making it one of the most extraordinary wildlife encounters in the Mexican Caribbean. Don’t miss the chance to snorkel with them and create memories that will last forever!

How does the tour unfold?

Your journey begins early in the morning with a comfortable, air-conditioned transfer from your hotel to the marina. After a light breakfast, we set out on our search for whale sharks aboard our well-equipped boats, gliding over the vibrant turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Once we reach the designated area, you’ll have the opportunity to jump in and swim beside these magnificent creatures, marveling at their sheer size and graceful movements.

What else is included in the adventure?

After this breathtaking encounter, the tour continues with a snorkeling stop at a stunning reef near Isla Mujeres. Here, you can admire colorful marine life and enjoy the beauty of the underwater world. We then head to Playa Norte, one of the world’s top-rated beaches, where you’ll indulge in a delicious lunch featuring fresh seafood, guacamole, and refreshing drinks.

Is whale shark sighting guaranteed?

Yes, we guarantee whale shark sightings! However, since this is a natural experience, the number of whale sharks present can vary. In rare cases, if there are only a few whale sharks in the area, swimming may not be possible to ensure responsible and sustainable interaction with the species. If this happens, you will still get to see them from the boat and experience their beauty in the wild.

How can you secure your spot?

Book now with just a 20% deposit, and pay the rest on the day of the tour! Spots for this incredible experience are limited, so don’t wait—reserve your place today and get ready to swim with the ocean’s most magnificent creatures.

Sam, Monty and Big Ben’s Mexican adventures! It was an excellent experience. We did the titles and the the cenote which was an offer and excellent value. We saw 8 Turles, some rays and tonnes of fish; our guide Nils and the local guide were very good in the water and made sure we saw lots of wildlife. Our driver had snack and water for us between the two activities. At the cenote we swam in the caves an Nils was very knowledgeable about the history of the Cenote. The Cenote base had great facilities (toilets and changing) and we had some Empanada. We would definitely recommend this trip and our guide Nils is the guide that you want. Very knowledgeable, spoke multiple languages and made sure everybody had a great time. Mateus also took some amazing photos to capture off a great day 👍

Ruben was the best tour guide! Ruben was incredible, and the tour was an experience we’ll never forget! Everything was so well organised, Ruben was a super-friendly and knowledgeable guide, and the food was delicious. Seeing the turtles and swimming in the cenote were truly inspiring, refreshing, and absolutely spectacular! Thank you so much, Ruben, for such an unforgettable experience! 🐢💙

Swimming with turtles was a tick off the bucket list Was a brilliant experience from our tour guide Vanessa who was sooo good and informative and helpful. Her enthusiastic happy attitude was a constant throughout the tour. The photos that they show you at the end that Rodrigo took were amazing and was very happy to purchase. The driver Gerardo drove through the bumpy roads with so much care. Overall a very very good time.

Awesome Turtle and Cenote snorkeling tour with Mac Having never snorkeled before Mac was great, nice small group so no waiting for people. The turtle snorkeling was amazing, glad to see the way the turtles are free to go where they want with no boundaries on them. Swimming in in the ocean always made me nervous but Mac took great care of us. The Cenote swim was the coolest thing I have ever seen. He gave us the history behind them and talked about the Spirit people who guard it, in a heartbeat I would go again
