WHALE SHARKS

BOOK NOW! SEASON STARTS

MAY 20th, 2019

May 20 - September 15

Whale Shark tours from Playa del Carmen

ALL INCLUSIVE

Price per person: USD 220.00

Join us for a once in a lifetime experience, swimming with Whale Sharks in Isla Mujeres. Known as Gentle Giants, because of their large size and peaceful nature, swimming with Whale Sharks is the ultimate bucket list tour.

​

On Isla Mujeres, whale shark season is from May to September. The whale shark migration takes place due to the plankton rising up to the surface of the water because of the sun. This draws the plankton feeders up with it and gives up the perfect opportunity to snorkel with them.

 

Whale Sharks can reach the size of a school bus (39 feet /12 meters)! But don’t worry they only eat plankton and swim very slowly you will be in no danger at all.  

 

Please note, our tour is different!

​

  • 80% of the times we go swimming with whales sharks our guests tell us when to stop because they are exhausted!

  • We always try to find our "own whale shark" in order to avoid the masses of other tourists and to be as sustainable and respectful as possible

  • We have rules and we are strict! Please read our rules and inform yourself by reading this blog-post and listing to this podcast

  • We charter the best boats available. There are huge differences in size and comfort.

  • There are huge differences in how we treat the animals and our guests. We want you to come back!

  • Visit our TripAdvisor page and filter our reviews for “whale sharks” and read what our guests say about our tours.

 

Be aware of additional costs!

 

Our tours are all inclusive, meaning no hidden costs! While other tours will charge you an additional $30-$60 USD for PICTURES we include this at no extra cost. Other companies often charge an additional $10-$20 USD for wetsuit hire and an additional “dock fee”, this is also included in our price. Please keep this in mind when comparing tour prices.
