Overview

One in a lifetime experience! Swim with the biggest fish in the world! After pick up travelers, we head to our Marina where we will have a light continental breakfast. Later, we board on a fast boat to sail through the Mexican Caribbean in search of the whale shark, the largest fish in the world. It can reach the size of a bus and feeds only on plankton that is filtered through its large mouth. In spite of its imposing size, it is totally harmless and gentle. That is why swimming beside those animals will be something unforgettable.

Once we reach the area and found the whale sharks, we will have more than 2 hours to snorkel with these huge animals: The Whale Shark sighting is 100% guaranteed!

We have a capacity of maximum 10 guests for each boat. Onboard you will get free drinks however beers only are allowed to be drink after the snorkeling activity.

Afterwards we will set out for Isla Mujeres, where we will enjoy a light lunch, relax and prepare to sail back to the Marina.
