Tour Information

We will pick you up at your hotel at 6 am and we will drive you to Puerto Juarez (north of Cancun).  The tour starts with an informative briefing, certified guides (marine biologists) will provide you with interesting information about the whale sharks and the area’s ecosystem.  At 8 am we will depart toward the Contoy island area.  During this fun sea ride we will very likely encounter dolphins, turtles, rays and sardine banks.  Suddenly we will spot our polka-dotted sea giant… and you will not believe your eyes! Chills are multiplying! You will have the unique opportunity to swim with the largest fish in the world! Your personal time with a whale shark, sounds surreal, isn’t?

Around 12.30 we will be having lunch in Playa norte (at Isla Mujeres), then back to Puerto Juarez to transfer you to Playa del Carmen.  By 4 you will be back in your hotel, realizing that this was truly a day to remember for a lifetime!

Note: Mexico remains as one of the few spots in the world where people are still allowed to swim with this marvelous creatures, plus this is the place with the biggest concentration of whale sharks in the world.  In other locations people can only see them from the boats, at a distance, and in much fewer numbers.
