Swimming with Whale Sharks in Isla Mujeres
Description
After picking you up at the indicated time at your hotel in Isla Mujeres, we'll head to the dock where we'll board a boat that will take us to enjoy an unforgettable experience. Let's go!
Once we're all ready with our life jackets on, we'll set sail out to sea. During the boat ride, we'll have amazing views of this area of the Riviera Maya and its turquoise waters.
After a fun cruise, the boat will anchor in the open sea and it will be time to jump into the water! With our snorkelling gear on, we'll dive in for our first sighting of whale sharks.
We'll see these massive mammals accompanied by their young, and learn about the behaviour and features of whale sharks as we get up close to them. Did you know that they are the largest marine animal in the world?
After having this unique experience in the Mexican Caribbean, we'll return to the boat to go to Isla Contoy or back to Isla Mujeres to go snorkelling. There, you'll be able to dive into the crystal clear waters and admire the beautiful underwater landscapes of the reefs.
Finally, after a total of 6 hours, we'll say goodbye at the marina on Calle Pescadores.
