Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure featuring the majestic whale sharks, world’s biggest fish. Take advantage of this seasonal phenomenon to get as close as possible to the fascinating creatures that migrate to the Cancun coasts every summer.
The eco-friendly, small-group tour starts with a convenient hotel pickup available from most hotels. Arrive at Puerto Juarez and enjoy a light breakfast before boarding the speedboat that will take you close to Isla Contoy to admire and swim with the amazing Whale Shark.
Get your camera ready as you approach the impressive whale sharks swimming near the surface gracefully. Better yet, prepare your life jacket and snorkel, and jump into the Caribbean waters following your guide. Swim after the stunning whale shark while maintaining safe distance, observing as the giant fish drifts forward.
After two hours of sighting and two immersions, make a brief stop at Playa Norte and swim in one of the best beaches in the Mexican Caribbean.

This experience is a once in a lifetime and Abel and Solomon were awesome! They took care of us from beginning to end we all got to see the whale sharks twice! They made a delicious ceviche for lunch while we swam off Isla Mujeres. The trip is well planned and executed by seasoned folks with emphasis on safety for us and for the sharks!

It is an incredible experience, seeing the whale shark in its natural habitat amazes you, they are very large, the tour is very good, we offer you snacks at the beginning such as coffee, fruit and a sandwich, everyone is very friendly and explains very well, it is a little tired because you have to swim following the whale shark but there is always a guide with you accompanying you and taking care of you, I highly recommend it! It is spectacular!
