Swim with the biggest fish in the world! - Definitely my favorite excursion! Unforgettable experience with whale sharks... Excitement and stress before jumping then underwater the world stops! Our Guide Alex and the crew of the boat Nardo and Sisi were very friendly, funny and warm, they made us have a great day!

We must not miss the opportunity to do so - A fabulous experience, well organized, hopefully for bathing with the shark and with a very good team and responsible for the environment and safety of the participants. Thank you Hamlet for your professionalism. Highly recommended!!!!!

Unbelievable Experience!! - This experience was one of the most amazing I have ever had!! The whole day was put together perfectly and our guide, Rubén, was informative, great fun and gave you all the knowledge needed to have the perfect day. The whale sharks were beautiful and all 10 people in our family, aged between 7 and 77, swam closely with the whale sharks. After the whale sharks, we were allowed to snorkel and Rubén helped us spot a variety of colourful fish as well as a turtle!!! After all of that, a delicious, traditional Mexican lunch was provided on the boat with Rubén and the rest of the crew. Anyone looking to swim with whale sharks should do it with Ocean Tours!!!

Swimming with whale sharks and Snorkeling - We had an absolutely incredible, once in a lifetime experience. We had an amazing tour guide - Rubén - he was so helpful with my Nan (aged 77) and assisted her in joining in and gave her the opportunity to swim as well. We also bought the video they took for us which was great quality and a lovely way to preserve our memories.

Extraordinary private swim with Whale Sharks for Family of 4 - We took a private tour for the family, to ensure there would be enough time for the children (5 and 8) to get comfortable with the water and the situation. We had a wonderful day that exceeded all expectations. Lots of time in the water with the Whale Sharks. The crew and guide was extremely professional and nice. 10/10 starts.
