whale shark tour from cozumel
Swimming with the Whale Sharks is the most incredible tour offered in this region!
Detailed explanation of the tour experience
This tour starts with a fast and direct transfer from the ferry pier in Playa del Carmen to the whale shark boat pier for people coming on the 7am ferry from Cozumel.
Upon arrival to the boat, your multilingual guide will explain the upcoming activity. You will then board a comfortable, fast boat with shade roof, double engines, cushioned benches, and toilet aboard.
There is a cooler on board with drinking water, soft drinks, fruit, and sandwiches.
When we reach the Whale Sharks, you will take turns to swim with these beautiful, docile sharks. Snorkel gear is provided by us and 2 people enter the water together with the guide each time.
The entries are repeated until everyone is happy and satisfied with their whale shark experience.
You get to swim along the largest shark in the worlds oceans! What a breathtaking experience. A whale shark can get up to 12 meter (40 feet) long. You will find them moving slowly along the surface of the water as they filter-feed on plankton. Their teeth are rudimentary; these sharks are completely calm and friendly. This is an experience you will never forget.
If you are lucky, you can also see manta rays during this tour.
After swimming with the whale sharks, you will return towards mainland and if time allows, we will invite you to snorkel the local reefs near Isla Mujeres before you will enjoy a ceviche lunch and cold beer beach break.
Back on land, there are showers and changing rooms, so you can refresh before boarding the vans that will take you back to the ferry pier in Playa del Carmen.
