Connecting with Whale Sharks - What an incredible experience!! Swimming with the whale shark was a life changing adventure. Words can’t describe how great the crew was. Mario aka Super Mario was the BEST!! Made me feel so safe next to these magnificent creatures. I loved every minute I was on the water. I made a connection with that shark that will stay with me forever

Wonderful see these great animals. - Loved seeing the Whale Sharks and Marion did a great job of describing all the ins and outs of things. It’s a bit of a chaotic scene getting in and the exit from the water method could be improved, but over all it was a great experience. A piece of fruit with the sandwich for breakfast would also be great.

Amazing whale shark diving experience! - My family and I went with Mario and Jorge and they were amazing they made sure that everyone on the boat had a 10/10 experience and was able to get right up close to the whale sharks. No matter your swimming skills he helped you swim right up next to them. Absolutely recommend! And the tacos afterwards were amazing!!

Epic whale shark experience - The company, Cabo Adventures, is professional and organized. The shuttle vans are clean and new. With the whale shark experience… it is a numbers game. The government oversees how many people are allowed each day and which tour operators can go and how many. It is a first come first serve if the numbers do not support the whole group going. What that means to you is this… if you reserve this trip first and prior to vacation time… the likelihood of going is greater. The season of swimming with whale sharks is variable each year. It starts in November and can go for a short time or until April or May. The “ season” is based on having 8 or more whale sharks in a specific area of LaPaz. If the number is less…. The season ends. We went in early January of this year. They had 17 the day prior… a good time of the year to go. Last year the season ended the end of January. Other years… it was spring. It depends on their food source of plankton. This is a really wonderful and spectacular experience with gentle giants. I highly recommend.

Incredible Whale Shark Swim with a Passionate, Skilled Crew - Swam with whale sharks this weekend and it was incredible! Huge shoutout to Captain Dago and Mario our guide—both were highly skilled, focused, and safety-first. Dago did a great job positioning the boat and helping everyone safely in and out. Mario was incredibly knowledgeable and you could really feel his passion for these animals and for giving everyone a great experience. Even with 10 people on the boat, he rotated us two at a time so we all had multiple chances to swim close to a whale shark (and he filmed it on his GoPro!). Highly recommend the Cabo Adventures whale shark tour for strong swimmers looking for an adventure.
