Overview

This six-hour boat tour runs from May to September and focuses on swimming near whale sharks in their natural habitat around Isla Mujeres and Cancun. The boat is 32 feet long and provides a stable ride even in choppy waters. The crew aims to find whale sharks, but sightings cannot be guaranteed since the animals are wild, not fed, and not trained. The tour includes snorkeling gear, a light lunch, snacks, bottled water, and carbonated beverages. Alcoholic drinks are not included. Sunscreen is prohibited in the whale shark area to protect the environment, so guests should wear long-sleeve shirts. Transportation on Isla Mujeres to the boat is not included. GoPro footage of the swim can be purchased separately. The tour is not recommended for those prone to seasickness. An environmental tax and dock fee must be paid in cash on the day of the tour.
