- MeXplore Tours - We will meet at “Marina de La Paz” located in “Topete and Miguel de Legaspy” streets. It is VERY important to arrive on time.
Then we will give you all the gear you need: mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit (shortie). After that we will depart to the whale shark area and request a spot in the control stand for the Whale Shark area.
Once we found one or more we will start the watching and snorkel activity. Our groups are 9 people maximum per boat, this ensures not crowded boats and a more professional and personalized service. We will do the snorkeling activity in groups of 2 to 4 at the same time on the water, so you have a comfortable experience. The guide will take turns with every group and you will be able to swim several times and very probable with more than one whale shark, the times you want to snorkel depends on you, we won’t limit you to jump in the water just 1 or 2 times as it can be usual with other tours.

Embrace an unrivaled experience in small groups capped at 9 individuals (compared to the ordinary tours that accommodate between 15-25 people per boat), sidestepping large gatherings and prolonged waiting time before having a swim with the whale sharks.
Merely minutes outside La Paz city, you’ll pursue, observe, and indulge in swimming with one or several whale sharks. Accompanied by a local marine biologist, you’ll be provided brief descriptions about these creatures and also have a chance to feature in captures and footages using a go pro, which we’ll digitally deliver to you after the tour.
Kindly note that the government regulated territory for whale sharks gets crowded at times, introducing a delay of about 1-3 hours before entering. All tour operators are subject to this potential wait time, the confirmation of which is only known on the day itself. Thankfully, about 95% of the time there is no wait time whatsoever, the remaining 5% may necessitate a wait. In this event, we’ll promptly communicate it to you upon arrival. Consequently, we request you to maintain a flexible schedule for the day to accommodate such unexpected delays.
