Overview

Take the chance to encounter with the majestic whale shark, one of the world's biggest fish, in this seasonal phenomemon and only available in specific parts of the world. Join us for a swim along the breath-taking giant.

Whale sharks, despite their name, are as tranquil and non-aggressive as you can wish. Hundreds of whales migrate to Cancun each summer to find food in the warm waters of the Caribbean, feeding off invisible plankton.

Sail out to the paradisiac island Contoy where the whale sharks are usually encountered. You might stumble upon a single or a whole group. Gear up with your life jacket and snorkeling equipment once you approach them and descend into the water taking turns.

Observe the graceful moves of this gigantic fish as you swim along with them. You might even be able to spot them from the boat, on some occasions, as the whale sharks tend to swim close to the surface.

To wrap this wonderful experience up, savor a delicious lunch before returning to your hotel.
