Tour Description
Pick up bright and early at your hotel or designated pick up point and head to the dock in Cancun

When whale sharks are located we swim 2 at a time with the guide
We will have a drink and a sandwich before heading back for a break at Isla Mujeres (weather permitting) for a swim at the beach and a fresh lunch prepared by the crew
Return to pier to board vans for return transportation to Playa Del Carmen

Round trip transportation from your hotel
Mask, fins, dry snorkel & lifevest or wetsuit
Beverages
Light breakfast
Sandwich
Stop at Isla Mujeres for a break (weather permitting)
Fresh lunch prepared by the crew!
There must be a minimum of 5 whale sharks in the area in order for snorkelling to be permitted.
In the rare case of 4 or less whale shark viewing will be from onboard the boat only
This rule is in place out of respect to the whale sharks as well as to keep their stress levels down. This helps ensure that everyone gets the opportunity to see them at least from the boat.
When the whale sharks get stressed they often dive deep and may not reappear
Keep your eyes peeled on the boat ride... if you are lucky, you may spot turtles, dolphins or manta rays!
The whale sharks are free- no cages, no feeding!
They are not dangerous to us, they don't even have teeth!!!
