Beautiful gigantic fish! - It was an amazing experience to see a whale shark up close. The captain and guide (Estefanie) were very friendly and had expert knowledge about the sharks. They were very clear about the rules to follow in order to protect the whale sharks, and the park and various operators operate under these ethical guidelines. Seeing the whale shark itself was amazing. Such a beautiful, gigantic fish. While they are slow compared to other marine animals, they still move faster than an average swimmer. The encounters are only a few minutes at a time, depending on if you can keep up too. It’s definitely a great experience that I would recommend!

Tuna Tuna is the tour to take!! - You will want to go with Tuna Tuna! These guys are AMAZING! They go above and beyond to make sure everyone has ample opportunity to see the whale sharks up close. They were kind, communicative (even when I emailed ahead of time), and had all the gear and supplies you could need. Pablo was an AMAZING guide! He was really knowledgeable about the sharks and took everyone’s safety, comfort, and care seriously. I also really appreciated the lower ratios on the tour. We saw other tours with 5-6 people in the water and it looked overwhelming. It made it much easier to get great swims with the sharks. The captain also deserves a shout out. He was safe, committed to the eco element, and helped make sure we were always close to the sharks.

A must do! - My husband and I did the 6 hour tour that included snorkeling with the sea lions, Balandra Beach, and snorkeling with the whale sharks and we had an absolutely amazing time. Stephanie was our guide and she was wonderful. She taught us all about the animals we were seeing and had us laughing and enjoying ourselves all day and she even took videos on a GoPro and emailed them to us all afterwards. The lunch on the beach was a lovely break between activities and we saw tons of animals. I hope to return and if we do we would definitely book with Tuna Tuna again!

A Peak Experience, Just Amazing - Swimming with whale sharks is incredible. They are huge, gentle beasts. Our guide, Stefany, was very knowledgeable and made sure that every guest got to swim with the whale sharks, even taking some guests by the hand to put them into position to experience the whale sharks up close. Do not miss this experience!

Wonderful activity for strong swimmers - We really enjoyed our tour. One note - this is an ACTIVE activity and really best for stronger swimmers. Our (nervous) 11 year old ended up staying on the boat - which worked out just fine - but if we had known, we would have booked it just for adults. Definitely an amazing experience with great guides.
