Swimming with whale sharks - This was a thrilling adventure. Swimming next to the sharks is something you should experience.

Great staff - Amazing staff and crew We were likely the last boat to get to see a whale shark Due to time Of year but they made it happen! We waited for a while but the shark was there and we got to swim right next to him! Incredible creature

Loved the service and experience - Eri and her team are top of the table. They have the knowledge and make you feel safe, it is not an easy thing to decide to swim at the side of the whale shark but we certainly feel so confident that it was an amazing experience. We highly recommend hiring this experience with them.

Definitely recommended - I can highly recommend Eco Migrations. Our guide Erin was incredibly friendly and told us a lot about the whale sharks. We were a small group, so we could all get in the water together. That was one of the reasons I chose Eco Migrations. We had two less experienced snorkelers in our group, and Erin even helped them afterward so they could see the whale sharks too. That was really kind and much appreciated. Definitely recommended.

Whale shark swimming La Paz - There are many options to swim with whale sharks in La Paz, but I feel that these guys were the safest, most professional group! They put us right in with the whale sharks and kept looking for a cooperative whale shark that we could swim with for 15-20 minutes. Not all whale sharks will stay around and let you swim with them. These guys were knowledgeable and respectful to us and the wildlife! We will book with them again next time!

Life-affirming experience - If swimming with the largest fish in the universe is on your bucket list, this is the group you want to book with. If swimming with whale sharks is not on you list, please add it so that you too can become closer to the wonders of the cosmos. Our guides Erin and Jayjay are infinitely capable and knowledgeable which put our small group at ease instantly. They exude happiness and credibility in a perfect mixture. Eco Migrations limits the number to six explorers on each boat (I don’t know if exceptions are made for larger families), and only three in the water at a time, always accompanied by a guide. This makes for an intimate experience other companies cannot match - we saw other groups on our dive, so this is not hyperbole. With their warmth and professionalism, these two, and our Capitan, created an unforgettable experience for us.
