Whaleshark Snorkeling Adventure
Overview
The whaleshark snorkeling experience is a seasonal activity. The whaleshark season starts in May and ends September every year. If you are visiting the Riviera Maya area between those months this is an experience you shouldn't miss!
The whale shark is completely harmless to humans, it is actually a very docile and curious creature. The Whale Shark swims very slowly on the surface which makes it easy and relaxing to swim with them.
