WHALE SHARK TOURS
Swim alongside the world’s largest fish on a Whale Shark tour in Mexico’s Caribbean, available from mid-May to mid-September. Each year, these gentle giants migrate to the area, giving visitors a chance to witness them in their natural habitat. With excellent water clarity, it's easy to spot them from the boat and in the water.
Led by a knowledgeable guide and captain, the tour begins early with a safety and itinerary briefing. From there, you’ll head north by boat, typically a 45-minute ride, though this can vary depending on where the Whale Sharks are that day. Once located, you’ll enter the water in pairs with a certified guide. Everyone must wear a life jacket while swimming. Most participants will get more than one chance to swim, depending on the number of Whale Sharks and how many guests are on board (maximum 10). There’s also a chance you may be able spot dolphins or manta rays along the way.
After the swim, the boat will stop at Isla Mujeres' Playa Norte, known for its white sand and shallow turquoise waters. While you relax or take a dip, the crew will prepare a fresh ceviche made with local fish to round out the day.
