Whale Shark Private Tour
Private Tour | Seasonal Tour
Swimming with whale sharks - the largest living fish species in the world – will sure count as one of your most unforgettable lifetime experiences.
Whale sharks can reach over 12 meters in length (40 feet) and weigh over 20 tons (44.000 lb.) and even though it is hard to believe, these giants feed only on plankton, crustaceans and microscopic algae.
From June through September every year, whale sharks come to feed in the Mexican Caribbean and can be spottednear Isla Mujeres and Holbox.
Join us on this memorable tour where you can swim with these amazing giants. Despite their size they are very gentle and pose no risk to humans.
Out of respect for the animals, only two persons and one guide swim with the whale sharks at one time.
