What To Expect

The adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your hotel. Your driver will transport you to Cancun. From there, you will take a boat ride to the waters surrounding Isla Mujeres, Contoy and Holbox. This is the area where whale sharks come to feed on plankton and where the Caribbean Sea meets the Gulf of Mexico. 

Once you spot the whale sharks, you will get ready to swim in pairs, accompanied by a guide. Your guide will instruct you on the best way to swim nearby the whale sharks.

The trip ends with a light meal of delicious, fresh ceviche prepared right before your eyes. Then you will return to the port to board the transportation back to the hotels.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
