Experience the thrill of swimming with whale sharks in the beautiful waters of Riviera Maya, Mexico, with a seamless start to your adventure through convenient hotel pickup. Between early morning hours, our team will collect you from your accommodation and transport you to our exclusive marina where our vessels are ready for the day. Your exact pickup time will be confirmed via email the day before your tour to ensure a smooth start. Once aboard, you will enjoy the journey out to the open waters, where the chance to encounter the gentle giants of the ocean awaits. After a day filled with unforgettable snorkeling experiences, you will return to your hotel in the afternoon, with the schedule subject to weather conditions that may affect travel times.
Discover the unpredictable nature of the sea and the precautions taken to ensure your safety during this incredible adventure. Whale shark tours require venturing into open waters, which can sometimes be rough. While most days offer calm and ideal conditions for snorkeling, the sea can change quickly with rough waters or rain. In rare cases, if the Port Master deems it unsafe, the port will be closed, and tours will be canceled to ensure participant safety. Even on days when the sea appears challenging but is deemed safe, the tour may proceed, following the same safety protocols as other operators in the region. By being aware of these conditions, you can better prepare for a flexible and exciting day on the water, where the awe-inspiring experience of swimming alongside the largest fish in the world becomes a reality. This tour combines adventure, nature, and safety planning to deliver a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for an unforgettable encounter with whale sharks in their natural habitat.
