What To Expect
Make the most out of your vacation and discover the fantastic world of
the Whale Shark. Climb aboard a comfortable boat and experience an
unforgettable moment with whale sharks near Isla Mujeres and Holbox.
You might also spot dolphins, sea turtles, and stingrays! Whale sharks
can be up to 12 meters long and weight up to 15 tons!
Be amazed by their graceful demeanor, marvel at their immense size and
gentle movements, then, observe their gaping mouths. Worry not- they
feed exclusively on plankton! Take turns to get off the boat in pairs and
swim near the whale sharks, accompanied at all times by your guide.
After the swimming session, you will head to one of the beautiful
beaches on the north side of Isla Mujeres to relax and sunbathe with a
refreshing drink and enjoy lunch before heading back
