What to expect

Snorkelling with whale sharks is a bucket-list experience, and with sightings guaranteed just off the shores of Cancun, you'll experience a close-up animal encounter like no other. You'll have two hours to snorkel in couples with these gentle giants who come to these waters from June to September to feed and mate.

The morning begins with a light continental breakfast at our private marina where you'll then step on board our 10 metre fast boat to sail out to where you'll be able to snorkel with whale sharks. There'll be no more than 10 guests on board to guarantee enough time snorkelling in pairs, and once we reach the area, you'll have two hours to rotate swimming with these huge sea creatures.

Next we'll drop you off at the picture-postcard Playa Norte beach, where you'll be able to relax and have a light lunch of ceviche directly in the shallow water. We'll then return to the marina on the mainland.

What to remember
  • This excursion runs from June to September
  • A port tax of USD 20.00 per person is not included and must be paid directly at check-in.
  • Due to the safety of the animals, it is prohibited to apply sun cream before entering the water. We recommend applying it two hours prior to activity
  • Please use biodegradable sun cream
  • Wetsuit and full-face mask rental is available for an additional USD 15.00
  • Touching whale sharks can scare them or make them feel stressed, which in turn can disrupt their natural behaviour – we definitely don't want that. We want to make sure your experience respects the animals as much as possible, so let's do everything we can to look after these gentle giants. When you're in the water with them, please keep a safe distance away
