Swimming with Whale Sharks bucket list experience - Fantastic experience swimming with Whale sharks in their natural environment.
Once in a lifetime experience.
All the staff were very good and helpful.
Michelle our guide was excellent, very upbeat and motivating and absolute professional at the dangerous bits in the water.
All equipment was provided.
Non alcoholic drinks and sandwiches were available on the boat and we had a sit down buffet lunch on isla mujeres.
The sand on Isla mujeres beach is exceptional.
Tips: 1. after you first jump in from the boat put your face straight in the water to see the whale shark.
2. Use your flippers to swim as fast as you can to keep up with the whale shark, they actually move quite fast. I got tired quickly.
3. Ask for help if you need the guides to hold your hand or take pictures
4. Take extra dollars or pesos with you to tip the waiters at the restaurant for buffet lunch in Isla mujeres
It was a long day with a lot of time on the boat travelling to the feeding sites and the island mujeres plus transfer from our hotel but well worth it.

Unforgettable experience - It was a lovely and exciting experience. All the crew made this dream come true, always attentive and ready for the whole group, from Nestor the driver who picked us up at the hotel, Jorge the captain of the boat, Carlos the sailor and the genius of Anita who was our coordinator, the best of the waves. Always careful at every jump, we feel super safe. Then a luxury stop in Isla Mujeres, to have lunch and enjoy the sun on the best of beaches. Thank you all for this beautiful experience.

Great sharks! Great Staff, Great trip! Don't Miss! - From start to finish a phenomenal experience. Our excursion team was Guide Anna, Captain Jorge, Firstmate/Guide Alex and Driver Geraldo. Anna's briefing during the shuttle ride was fantastic. Captain Jorge found the whale sharks and positioned everyone for a great swim with them. Anna and Alex made sure everyone remained safe during the swim. And did I say the whale sharks were amazing? Finally, the driver had drinks and fruit waiting for us for the shuttle back. Thanks all for a great day!

Bucket List! Once in a Lifetime Whale Shark Experience! A MUST Do! - This was a bucket list & once in a lifetime experience! Our crew was: Michelle, Rene & Danny and they were outstanding, I can honestly say this is one of the best excursions I have ever been on. Not only were able to snorkel multiple times with these docile amazing whale sharks but our crew captured our experience on our gopro so we have memories for a life time. After the snorkel, we had lunch, drinks and swimming on the beautiful Isla Mujeres. It was incredible and I will definitely bring my family back and request this specific crew!

Best company for whale shark snorkel! - A no-stress excursion and a wonderful experience! We were picked up from our hotel and taken directly to the marina. There were a lot of people, but it never felt crowded or disorganized. Our host Hugo was excellent at taking us through the check in process and getting us ready to board the boat! Our captain and deck hand were also great! We felt very well cared for and very safe. Lunch at Isla Mujeres afterwards was delicious, and we loved spending time at the beach before returning to Cancun. I definitely would recommend this company!

Epic Whale Shark Swim - This was an unreal opportunity to get up close with these magnificent fish. From start to end was like an adventure I’d never experienced before and despite being so scared the crew are excellent. Took us to an area that must of had 30+ whale shark swimming about and we got two separate swims with them, we were a boat of 8, going out in twos with the guide. Can’t remember the captain and his No.2’s name, but our guide for the trip was a guy called Reno who went out his way to make the trip fun and informative. Only downside was we never booked direct, went through hotel who take large cut. Organise yourself with company direct if interested, you won’t be disappointed, magical 4/5 hours

Supersized! - Our guide, Michelle/Stella has one supersized personality, to along with the supersized Whale Sharks we swam with on this trip. Do this with her and her crew (Brian, Renee, and Daniel) and you'll have the excursion of your life.
Her knowledge, along with the skills of her crew make this an adventure you'll tell all your friends about.
