Our tour ensures an unparalleled, intimate experience with these magnificent creatures, with group sizes limited to just 10 participants.
Your Day with the Giants: A Detailed Itinerary
Early Morning Departure
Your journey begins early with a 7:00 AM ferry from Cozumel to Playa del Carmen. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by our professional guide at Sr. Frog’s Restaurant at the pier at 7:45 AM. Our dedicated team ensures a smooth transition to our private vehicles that will escort you to our exclusive marina in Puerto Juarez, Cancun.
Breakfast and Preparation
Once at the marina, a nutritious light breakfast awaits to fuel your day’s adventure. After breakfast, you’ll be outfitted with top-of-the-line snorkeling gear, including life jackets and all necessary equipment. Our experienced guides will brief you on the day’s activities and safety protocols.
Swimming with Whale Sharks
The highlight of your tour is the exhilarating experience of swimming with whale sharks. These gentle giants gracefully navigate the warm Caribbean waters, and observing them up close is nothing short of spectacular. The boat ride to the whale shark area is a journey in itself, offering scenic views and potential sightings of other marine life.

Following the whale shark encounter, the adventure continues at the vibrant reefs of Isla Contoy or Isla Mujeres. Here, you will enjoy 40 minutes of snorkeling, exploring the abundant underwater ecosystems and colorful marine species that inhabit these waters.
