A unique experience that you will never forget. Join us in this incredible adventure!

Come and discover the incredible world of whale sharks and have the experience of a lifetime. The whale shark conveys peace and tranquility. Swimming with this gentle giant of the sea in Mexico is an unforgettable experience to be shared again and again.

The whale shark is totally harmless to humans, it is in fact a very docile and curious creature. In the summer, hundreds of whale sharks swim in the waters surrounding the islands of Isla Mujeres, Isla Contoy and Isla Holbox, feeding on plankton where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico. From late May to mid-September, you will have the remarkable opportunity to swim and snorkel with these amazing animals in an area abundant with marine life.

Considered as the largest fish in the world, meeting these tender eyes you can only marvel.

Our boats depart daily from Cancun to the whale shark area between Isla Mujeres and Isla Holbox. Our bilingual and experienced guides will make your whale shark adventure the highlight of your vacation.
