The whale shark season in Cancun is from May, 21th to September, 15th.

Admire whale sharks of over 15 meters long and amaze yourself watching how calm they are. On peak season we might find up to 40 docile whale shark at a time floating on the surface. This activity is fun and safe for all ages, and it requires no previous experience!

It’s important to mention that whale sharks are not harmful or dangerous to humans. Whale sharks are very calm and docile fish, they only eat plankton (this is the reason they visit us every year). 

What to expect?

Start this adventure boarding a prompt, 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 professional 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, environment and behavior. We’ll also talk about what to expect and do’s & don’ts, to guarantee an enjoyable and safe tour. 

Freshly brewed coffee, fresh fruit, and pastries are offered before boarding the boat.

Once at the whale sharks' spot, we will slip into the water two people at a time, to snorkel with the 20-40 ft long beautiful whale sharks. Of course, you'll be always supervised and helped by your guide.

Swim with the whale shark with no time limit. However, we recommend 2-3 dips per couple, which are more than enough to enjoy the experience.

Before returning to Cancun, we’ll stop at the world famous Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres. Perfect to take lunch while sharing your experience with the rest of the people in the boat. 

Groups of max. 10 people per boat to guarantee personalized service. Our 32 ft. boat will offer you a smooth and gentle ride even in choppy waters (bathroom on board).

Transportation, English speaking guide, snorkeling gear, light lunch, and drinks are included.
