Swim with whale shark on a Riviera Maya yacht
General information
Deal overview
These beautiful creatures migrate seasonally and the Riviera Maya in Mexico is one of their favorite destinations between the months of June and September.Whale sharks go in search of good weather and food, that is why for months they travel thousands of kilometers to reach the waters of the Mexican Caribbean where we can enjoy incredible sightings.
Despite being the largest fish in the world, whale sharks are not dangerous, in fact it has been proven that they enjoy human presence. They do not eat meat, so you have nothing to worry about, they usually feed on plankton, small fish and fish eggs. These spectacular marine mammals can measure up to 15 meters in length, however they are docile and gentle with people, being close to them will make you live a unique experience.
We want you to enjoy this experience to the fullest, which is why we take you on one of our exclusive boats, equipped with everything you need to make you feel comfortable at all times. In addition, we include snorkeling equipment and a life jacket. You also won't have to worry about food during the tour since we include a light breakfast, a delicious meal, snacks and drinks. As you can see, your only mission will be to enjoy and live this day to the fullest.
So that you don't miss anything on your trip, we recommend that you bring comfortable shoes, sunglasses, a hat or cap, a swimsuit and a towel.
*The boat ride can be shared or you have the option of renting the entire boat in a private tour, with a maximum capacity of 10 people. Check price for this option.
