Whale Shark
What you'll experience
The whale shark is the biggest fish in the world and here you swim right beside it. We leave your hotel early for the private marina in Cancún, where a light breakfast is waiting before we set off.
We sail the Mexican Caribbean for about an hour to the area where they gather. Once there you get in the water with whale sharks up to 10 meters long, with guides and marine staff alongside you the whole time.
After the swim we head to Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres, where we anchor to relax in the shallow water and enjoy the food and drinks before returning to the marina.
