This wildlife tour lasts about six hours and includes a boat trip where participants can swim alongside these gentle giants. The whale sharks pose no danger, allowing close observation in the water. During the boat ride, other marine and bird species such as turtles, giant manta rays, dolphins, and flamingos may also be spotted. A light breakfast featuring coffee, tea, fruits, yoghurt, and sweet buns is provided before snorkeling. Guests receive snorkeling gear and enjoy a serving of the operator’s ceviche or guacamole or mango as a fish alternative. Cool water and sodas are supplied throughout the trip. This activity depends on the presence of whale sharks, which typically arrive after mid-May, and on good weather conditions. If weather causes cancellation, guests can reschedule or receive a full refund.
You will meet with your guide and group at the our office, in Isla Holbox at 6:30 am, is located one block from the Main ferry pier (not by the beach side) . There, you will have a small briefing and get all the necessary equipment. You will also enjoy a light breakfast to have a great start. Then, you will walk to the pier, where the boat is waiting to start the journey to find the whale sharks. The trip will take you between one and two hours and you may find different species on the way (if you see a giant manta and its behavior permits it, you can also swim with this harmless creature). Once in the area, you will swim by the whale shark in groups of two plus the guide, for safety reasons and to ensure you get the best experience. On the way back, you will stop near Cabo Catoche to snorkel the "cuevones" reef and maybe see sea turtles, nurse sharks, lobsters, squids, octopuses, and different reef fish. During the journey, we will prepare the freshest ceviche you'll ever have. Finally, you will go to Santa Paula, where you can stretch your legs, have a pleasant swim and enjoy the ceviche. From this point, you have a 45-minute journey back to Holbox.
