We start our boat expedition traveling north for about 50 minutes to reach the feeding grounds. We´ll spend around 2.5 hours snorkeling and swimming with the whale sharks with a certified guide at all times. With a little luck, we´ll get to see some manta rays, too!
After this unique experience, we´ll provide sandwiches as we head back. We´ll stop at the north beach of Isla Mujeres for a delicious shrimp ceviche, guacamole and chips.
We will be back at Punta Sam around 1:00 pm.
"The whale shark is the biggest fish in the world, completely harmless, docile and curious creature, it´s so docile that allows the observation and swimming around them while calmly moving through the sea."
