The Enigmatic Whale Shark Experience from Cancun and Riviera Maya

Summary

The Mexican Yucatan peninsula is one of the few places in the world where you can share the water with the largest fish in the world, the whale shark. We will go out in search of these kinds of creatures to enjoy a snorkeling experience you will never forget. After seeing a whale shark, you will have the opportunity to jump into the water and swim with it, so you will have an encounter with wildlife that few people can experience. We divide the group in couples, every couple will enter to swim in consecutive order, they will always be accompanied by our certified guide, the swims can be 1 or a maximum of 3 times per couple, clarifying that depending on how much sharks are in the area is the number of times that the swim will be done. Once the swim is finished, the captain will mark the course towards the north beach of Isla Mujeres to swim for a while and the crew will make a fish snack called Ceviche, with an approximate of 45 minutes. Finally, we will go back to the marina, Punta Sam. Unfortunately, we can´t guarantee the whale shark sightseeing but in most of cases we find them.
