Het zwemmen met de whalesharks is ongekend mooi en gaaf! We hebben er meerdere gezien en de crew zorgde ervoor dat we allemaal goed de gelegenheid kregen om dicht bij deze bijzondere beesten te zwemmen. Een ervaring om nooit meer te vergeten!

Wonderful trip to swim with whale sharks in the wild. It’s a long journey approx 1.5hrs to the middle of the sea and then another 30-45mins searching for the sharks. On the way we saw some dolphins. The journey is bumpy on the waves. We were not offered sea sickness pills but luckily had taken some so we would recommend you take your own, as you may feel nauseous when the boat stops. The guide found the whale sharks and we had a magical 20mins or so before other boats joined when it was just our boat and the sharks. You enter in pairs with the guide and swim for approximately 2 mins, then the next couple get in the water once the boat repositions itself infront of the path of the shark. The encounter felt a bit rushed however we did get to swim with the sharks pretty close up. We repeated this so each pair had 2 swims with the 2nd swim when we had other boats in the area. Luckily we were in high season so there were a number of sharks in the water, and it didn’t feel too over crowded otherwise it may not have been such a magical experience due to the sheer number of swimmers and boats. After the whale shark encounter it was off to a lovely beach for lunch and then back to Holbox island. Would recommend if you are in peak whale feeding season, otherwise it may not be so magical. It’s our 2nd time swimming with these creatures having done so at Donal in the Philippians over 15 years. This one felt more commercial and crowded and rushed compared to our previous encounter, so if the seasons are right we would probably say go there for a more magical experience

Willy and Captain Jorge were incredible. They took us just a little further out than other boats and what we saw was life changing. The gentle majesty of the whale sharks was awe inspiring. We then went to a protected area where we experienced rays, pelicans, mangroves, and quiet waters. Take nothing but pictures. The ceviche Captain Jorge made was top notch. We had a bonus dolphin sighting on our way back. My daughter and I will never forget this.
