What To Expect

Snorkel with the biggest fish in the ocean, the whale shark! We will also take you snorkeling with the friendly sea lions in San Rafaelito, where you will also get to witness a beautiful coral reef full of colorful fish. End this amazing half-day tour with a visit to one of Mexico’s best beaches: Balandra, where you will enjoy fresh ceviche and cold beer while you dip your toes in this incredible turquoise-water sandy beach.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There are 4 turns to get into the Whale Shark area each day and there's a limited number of boats that go in depending on how many Whale Sharks are in the area. The turns are assigned via WhatsApp and they are given in the order in which they receive the messages. We always aim for the second turn ( 9 AM) but there are days that we don't get it, so we have to ask for a chance in the 3rd or 4th turn. We cannot guarantee that we will get a turn or which turn we will get until after the turns are assigned each day. We will get in contact with you if we don't get the desired turn (9 am) to let you know the turn we got assigned.

  • Confirmation is instant and will be received at time of booking
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby

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.
