This was an amazing experience. We got to swim with whale sharks just like advertised. We also saw a manta ray and a dolphin. They served a lite lunch too. Make sure to take Dramamine for the boat ride.

jammer dat je ter plaatsen pas hoorde dat je wetsuit kon huren voor 15 dollar en anders moest je verplicht zwemvest aan wat wel inbegrepen was I had nl thuis zwemvest liggen maar had deze niet meegenomen omdat ik dit niet wist. de dag vooraf kreeg ik niet op tijd te horen hoe laat we werden opgehaald. was heel duur om de fotos gemaakt door de gids bij te kopen, jammer.

Ein traumhaftes Erlebnis! Wir wurden pünktlich am Hotel abgeholt, unser(e) Guide Ariann hat uns ausführlich über die Walhaie aufgeklärt und perfekt für die Tour vorbereitet. Man hat gemerkt, wie sehr ihr die Meeresbewohner am Herzen liegen. Auch wenn der eine oder andere mit Übelkeit zu kämpfen hatte, konnte sie helfen. Jeder hatte 2x die Möglichkeit zu schwimmen. Immer zu zweit mit einem Guide, der auch filmt. Das Boot wurde nah an einen Walhai gebracht und man springt quasi neben das Tier und schwimmt ein Stück mit. Wahnsinn! Es waren mindestens 10 Tiere zu dem Zeitpunkt dort. Auf dem Rückweg kurzer (Schwimm-)Stop an der Isla Mujeres mit einem leckeren Essen an Bord. Muss man erlebt haben! Danke Ariann und dem Team der Maximo

Ha sido increíble. Nuestra guía Ariann encantadora, nos ha explicado todo a la perfección. Hemos podido ver varios tiburones ballena, y en el camino muchísimos delfines.


Highlights

Embark on an extraordinary adventure in the waters off Cancun and snorkel with the world's largest fish, the whale shark! Journey to the waters around Contoy Island during whale shark season, where you'll observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat with expert guides. After snorkeling, savor a delicious onboard lunch and refreshing drinks. If weather and sea conditions permit, enjoy a swim in the beautiful waters near Isla Mujeres.

Program

Set sail for the Caribbean to find whale sharks

Begin your tour with a convenient pickup from your Cancun hotel or meet directly at Marina Xtabay in Puerto Juarez. Before setting sail, receive essential safety instructions and learn about whale shark conservation. Then, board a boat and head out into the Caribbean Sea. As you travel towards the waters around Contoy Island, a prime location for whale shark sightings, your guide will share fascinating insights into their behavior and the surrounding marine ecosystem.


Snorkel alongside whale sharks



Once whale sharks are spotted, you'll enter the water in small groups under the guidance of your tour leader for an unforgettable snorkeling experience. Don your snorkeling gear and come face-to-face with these gentle giants as they gracefully swim through the ocean.

To ensure the well-being of the whale sharks and respect their natural behavior, maintain a safe distance as instructed by your guide. This is a truly special encounter with wildlife in the pristine Caribbean Sea.


Enjoy lunch on board and the waters of Isla Mujeres



After your snorkeling adventure, relax on the boat and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch and refreshing beverages while taking in the stunning Caribbean scenery.

Weather and sea conditions permitting, the return journey includes a stop for swimming in the crystal-clear waters near Isla Mujeres. You'll then return to Marina Xtabay, with convenient drop-off at your hotel if you've opted for transportation.
