After the briefing, the group boards an air-conditioned boat for an eight-hour trip along the Yucatan coast in the Gulf of Mexico, covering areas near Cancun and Riviera Maya. The main focus is to observe whale sharks, the largest fish in the ocean, in their natural habitat. During the tour, participants have the chance to snorkel and may also see dolphins, manta rays, and turtles. Snorkeling equipment including life jackets, visors, fins, and snorkels is provided. Lunch is served onboard near Playa Norte, off the coast of Isla Mujeres, where guests can swim and relax in the clear waters. Water and soft drinks are included throughout the tour. The minimum age for participants is five years. Gratuities, alcoholic beverages, personal expenses, and a mandatory environmental tax paid on-site are not included. The tour requires a minimum number of passengers to operate and may be rescheduled or refunded if the minimum is not met. Mineral sunscreen is required, and guests are advised to consult a doctor about seasickness medication before the tour. While sightings of whale sharks cannot be guaranteed, guides will make every effort to maximize the chances of encountering these animals.
