Amazing whale shark experience - Great experience with our tour guide, Willy, and captain, Ali. They were very professional - we were the first boat to find a whale shark of the day and Willy expertly took us swimming with the whale shark, making sure that everyone had time with the animal. He gave very clear guidance and explanations and assisted those that needed more help such that they would feel comfortable. When the location we were at suddenly was filled with other boats, Willy and Ali took us to a different location where there were even more sharks and fewer boats! They made sure everyone had a good experience and constantly checked in to make sure we were happy. On the tour, we stopped to see dolphins twice which was amazing, had very fresh ceviche, and visited a mangrove. Overall, it was an amazing and memorable experience, made even better with Willy and Ali. 10/10 would recommend!

Highly recommended - Our guide, Diego, was fantastic. He showed great respect for the animals and was very knowledgeable. We were surprised when we had the opportunity to swim with them a second time. Diego also recorded us in the water with the whale shark and intends in distributing via WhatsApp. We had a great experience.

100% recommended - Excellent attention from Silvia when booking and then during the tour, Guide Edi and Captain Jorge did amazing! Highly recommended to see whale sharks and snorkel, plus delicious lunch ceviche and snacks!

Excellent Adventure! - Amazing experience! Our guide (Gustavo) and boat captain (Jorge) were excellent. The breakfast provided in the morning was a nice touch and the ceviche lunch on the beach was a perfect end to an adventurous day.

Best in town 🐋 - Willy, the tour guide, and Ali, the captain, were excellent. They were full of knowledge and informative. They took us to the whale sharks, and we had a fantastic time swimming with them. On the way back, they stopped on a beautiful beach where they made us fresh ceviche, and we also saw Flamingos. It is such a lovely experience; we 1000% recommend it!

Life Changing - Willy and Captain Jorge were incredible. They took us just a little further out than other boats and what we saw was life changing. The gentle majesty of the whale sharks was awe inspiring. We then went to a protected area where we experienced rays, pelicans, mangroves, and quiet waters. Take nothing but pictures. The ceviche Captain Jorge made was top notch. We had a bonus dolphin sighting on our way back. My daughter and I will never forget this.

Amazing Creatures! - Amazing experience! Willy was an awesome guide. I would highly recommend this tour! It is worth the money! We got to swim with the whale sharks, see some jumping manta rays, dolphins and even flamingos. Very cool.

Unbelievable experience - I can’t say enough good things about this outfit. Our whale shark excursion was phenomenal. Saw so many whale sharks, and the footage that Diego was able to take of my family and me has amazed everyone who has watched it. Then the guacamole and ceviche on the return trip…..outstanding. Just an amazing day for all of us. One we will never forget. We were also in Holbox for Hurricane Beryl. Willie with VIP Holbox kept in touch with us, letting us know he would be there to assist if necessary. Fortunately it did not come to this, but the offer was above and beyond our expectations. Strongly recommend you go with VIP Holbox Experience. Cade E.

Highly recommended! - Amazing experience! The crew was very professional, got us very close to the whale sharks without endangering them and while navigating other boats and swimmers. Amazing ceviche lunch that was among the best we’ve ever had! Highly recommended!

Magical once in a lifetime experience - Wonderful trip to swim with whale sharks in the wild. It’s a long journey approx 1.5hrs to the middle of the sea and then another 30-45mins searching for the sharks. On the way we saw some dolphins. The journey is bumpy on the waves. We were not offered sea sickness pills but luckily had taken some so we would recommend you take your own, as you may feel nauseous when the boat stops. The guide found the whale sharks and we had a magical 20mins or so before other boats joined when it was just our boat and the sharks. You enter in pairs with the guide and swim for approximately 2 mins, then the next couple get in the water once the boat repositions itself infront of the path of the shark. The encounter felt a bit rushed however we did get to swim with the sharks pretty close up. We repeated this so each pair had 2 swims with the 2nd swim when we had other boats in the area. Luckily we were in high season so there were a number of sharks in the water, and it didn’t feel too over crowded otherwise it may not have been such a magical experience due to the sheer number of swimmers and boats. After the whale shark encounter it was off to a lovely beach for lunch and then back to Holbox island. Would recommend if you are in peak whale feeding season, otherwise it may not be so magical. It’s our 2nd time swimming with these creatures having done so at Donal in the Philippians over 15 years. This one felt more commercial and crowded and rushed compared to our previous encounter, so if the seasons are right we would probably say go there for a more magical experience
