About This Tour
Swim with the Majestic Whale Sharks – Embark on an unforgettable adventure in the breathtaking waters where the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean Sea. Near Holbox, Contoy, and Isla Mujeres, witness the incredible migration of whale sharks—the largest fish on the planet. Guided by experts, this eco-friendly tour offers the rare chance to snorkel alongside these gentle giants, measuring up to 10 meters. Swimming in small groups ensures a low-impact, immersive experience as the whale sharks feed on plankton in their natural habitat. The season runs from June 1 to September 15, when these magnificent creatures gather in large numbers. On some days, you may see hundreds of them gliding through the clear waters. After your swim, relax at Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres—famous for its crystal-clear sea and soft white sand. Perfect for nature lovers and thrill-seekers, this tour delivers an awe-inspiring encounter with marine life in one of the most beautiful regions of the Yucatán Peninsula.
