About Whale Shark - Riviera Maya

Climb aboard the boat and get ready as you speed across the waters of the Mexican Caribbean. The captain will be on the look out all the way for any signs of the whale sharks, the largest fish in the sea, as you travel in a small group to the deeper waters. Once the whale sharks have been located and you are kitted out with the snorkelling equipment, the boat will stop at a distance and you will jump into the water two at a time, accompanied by the guide, to swim alongside these fascinating creatures which can be up to 10 m long and weigh up to 15 tons! Watch through your snorkel mask in admiration as they swim gracefully through the water, marvel at their immense size and observe their gaping mouths. Worry not--they feed exclusively on plankton and particles in the water! You will take turns to get off the boat in pairs and swim near the whale sharks, accompanied at all times by your guide. After the swim you will head to one of the beautiful beaches at the north side of Isla Mujeres to relax and sunbathe with a refreshing drink and enjoy lunch before heading back.A once-in-a-lifetime experience!
