About this experience
Ready to meet the largest fish on earth? In a group of up to 10 people, you will embark on a journey to encounter the beautiful whale sharks - calm and friendly inhabitants of the Caribbean Sea. You will swim with the giants, observe them underwater, and then relax on a stunning beach, enjoying snacks before heading back.
What to Expect
Boat Ride: After gathering the group from hotels, we will head to the marina, from where you will set off to the sea on boats with up to 10 people on board. You will be accompanied by a captain, a guide, and a sailor. An hour and a half later - and we are there! You will receive instructions and get ready for snorkeling, while the captain will bring the boat as close as possible to the animals.
Swim with Whale Sharks: The group will be divided into 5 pairs, each pair taking turns to make 2 dives with a mask and snorkel. The duration of the dives depends on the weather and other factors, but usually participants spend between 4 to 12 minutes in the water each time. You will have the chance to see harmless sharks up close and observe the giants.
Beach Relaxation: After snorkeling, the boat will head to the beautiful beach on Isla Mujeres. Here, you will have free time to sunbathe and swim in the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
Traditional Snacks: While you unwind on the beach, the crew will prepare light snacks for you. After a light meal, the boat will take you back to the port, and within 20-30 minutes, you will be on a minibus heading back to your hotel.
