Cancun Swim with Whale Sharks Small-Group Snorkeling Tour

Cancun 7 hours

Put on your swimwear, grab your biodegradable sunscreen and water bottle, and depart from your hotel in Playa del Carmen, Cancun, Tulum, or Riviera Maya to embark on your aquatic adventure with gentle marine giants. Pay your dock tax in cash, then board a comfortable boat and set sail with a small group to begin exploring. An onboard biologist will keep an eye out for whale sharks, providing fascinating insights into their behavior and how to safely interact with them. Once one is spotted, don your snorkeling gear and dive into the crystal-clear waters to swim alongside these majestic creatures. Glide gracefully next to the whale sharks as they feed on microscopic plankton, all while enjoying the warm, tropical waters of the Yucatán. After your adventure, return to the boat and relax as you cruise toward Isla Mujeres, anchoring off the beautiful Playa Norte beach for a delicious lunch. With a small group of only 10 participants, you’re assured an intimate and enjoyable experience on this unforgettable Mexican whale shark snorkel adventure. Please note that sightings are not guaranteed, and weather conditions may prevent snorkeling at times.
