This La Paz Whale Shark Encounter tour offers a small-group experience with a maximum of six guests on the boat, or occasionally seven if one party has an odd number. The tour lasts about three hours and includes a boat trip to the whale shark area where boats are allowed to stay for up to two hours. Guests have the opportunity to swim with whale sharks, with a limit of five swimmers plus one guide in the water at the same time. Couples can swim alone with a whale shark to avoid sharing the experience with others. Families or larger groups can work with the guide to decide whether to start in smaller groups and finish with a combined swim. For elderly, less confident swimmers, or guests who prefer, the guide may swim alongside them alone to provide support. The tour includes biodegradable SPF 50 sunscreen, carbonated drinks, bottled water, snorkeling gear, snacks, and all fees and taxes. Transport from the hotel, towels, and tips are not included. The tour is eco-friendly and emphasizes intimate, friendly service with a better guest-to-guide ratio compared to larger boats that carry 10 to 15 guests.

Itinerary
Get ready for an adventure! Your guide will lead you to the boat, where you’ll be fitted with premium snorkel gear—mask, snorkel, fins, and wetsuit—so you can dive in with style. Life vests are optional in the water (because you’re brave!) but required during the boat ride. Safety first! ️ As we cruise through the whale shark zone, our friendly captain will guide the way while your knowledgeable guide fills you in on fun facts about whale sharks and how to make the most of your experience—all while keeping the environment (and the sharks) happy. Plus, expect a few dad jokes along the way—our guides love to entertain! Time to jump in! Your guide will swim alongside you and capture the magic in photos and video, so no need to worry about missing a moment. Don’t worry, it’s all included! And because we’re all about exclusivity, we try to keep each jump private for just you and your group. If conditions and time allows, we expect every guest to jump 2 or 3 times and swim next to a whaleshark Whether you’re gliding along or just taking it easy, there’s plenty of fun to be had with these gentle giants—no matter your pace!
