Jane was an amazing tour guide and the crew were fantastic. It was truly a magical day on the water after finding multiple sharks feeding.
All the crew showed great respect for the animals, which was important to us to see from an operator. And lunch - prepared on board - was delicious.
One word to the wise -- it will be hard sitting and waiting for everyone to dive for upwards on an hour on the waves so take the Gravol offered if you are even slightly prone to sea sickness.

Whale Sharks 10/10!! The transportation and communication 3/10. Would do it again just for the experience with the whale sharks. It's incredible and a once in a life-time chance. DO IT!!! The captain and crew did a great job making sure everyone got to see the sharks and pulled the boat up and told us to jump at the perfect time, even though the sharks were hard to find that day. I am greatful for skilled crewman. They had lots of drinks and water bottles onboard, and I appreciated showers to rinse at the end. Note: we did not get to go ashore at Isla Mujeres, as I thought, they served us lunch on the boat and we got in the water on the beach, but had to stay in the boat area away from shore.
However, this company has quite a bit to learn about customer comfort. The tour was full with a group total of 10 plus staff. We were squeezed into the back of a van with NO airflow. The seat was completely upright and the equipment was under our legs so we were cramped. The ride was long, and bumpy and we both got car sick before we even got there. We left from Playa but they detoured an extra 3hrs round trip to pick someone up from Cancun. The breakfast they provided was bad. We had no time to eat it before being rushed onto the boat. The sea was rough that day, no fault of the crew, but the boat was small for the number of people on it and there was no choice as to where to sit. My partner and I were both seasick the entire trip, about 8+ hours, and my partner never gets motion or seasick, but this did it for him. I was too sick to eat, but my partner said the food choices were bad. We didn't get to go ashore at Isa Mujeres, and unfortunately, the sea was so choppy that there wasn't much to see when we did the reef snorkel because it was murky (again that's not their fault). At the end of the day, we had to get back in the too-small back seat of the burning van with no airflow for a very long drive with traffic. A smoother and shorter ride in a larger van, and larger boat (or less people) would have made this a much better day.

Great trip swimming with gentle giants. Equipment was good and food was great.
Recommended for those looking to do something out of the ordinary. I wouldn’t recommend for younger children as it requires some fast swimming to keep up with the sharks.
