Overview

This Private Tour ensures that all aspects of your journey, including ground and boat transportation, are exclusively yours. Your group will benefit from the dedicated attention of your own guide, driver, and captain. While we provide a recommended itinerary with suggested times for each activity, we are happy to customize the schedule to better suit your group’s preferences.

Witness the majestic whale sharks up close! While swimming with them is an awe-inspiring experience, it is not guaranteed. Your safety and the wellbeing of the whale sharks are our priority, and swimming will only occur under favorable conditions. If conditions allow only viewing from the boat, rest assured that the sight is still spectacular and memorable.

Should we be unable to locate the whale sharks, you have the flexibility to reschedule your tour or receive a certificate for a future tour. We are committed to accommodating your needs and will assess the situation to provide the best possible solution.

What To Expect

Embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure with our expert-guided Private Whale Shark Tour. Your day starts with a pickup from your hotel in Riviera Maya or Cancun, leading you to our private dock where your exclusive boat and crew await.

Enjoy light refreshments as we cruise to the serene waters home to the whale sharks. Dive into the ocean for a thrilling swim with these gentle giants, with the understanding that all interactions are guided by nature and dependent on conditions like weather and sea movements. The adventure continues with snorkeling near the vibrant coral reefs of Isla Mujeres, capped off with a relaxing lunch on the pristine sands of Playa Norte, one of the world's most beautiful beaches.

We conclude with a comfortable return to your hotel by late afternoon. Join us for an unforgettable private journey into the marine wilderness, where nature leads the way!

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Whale Shark All Inclusive Experience?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
