What a DAY! - This was a truly memorable experience. Abraham, the guide, and the Captain took great care of us and were so dedicated to our safety and maximizing our experience. They made ceviche for lunch that was delicious. I can't say enough about this experience and the team. Would do this again in a heartbeat! Thank you Eco Tours for a wonderful experience.

Amazing late season whale shark experience - An amazing whale shark experience topped off with reef snorkeling and a wonderful lunch. Our guide Jane was beyond fantastic, she was so kind helping an 80+yo grandma safely into the water to enjoy the snorkeling experience. She flowed effortlessly between English and Spanish and held our attention during the downtimes with her knowledge of the area. We recommend 10/10.

OMG Whale Sharks Galore!!! - We swam with at least 10 whale sharks, one bigger than the next! Beautiful creatures, so gentle! Nuria was our guide, and she was muy fantástica! My sister and I learned a lot from Nuria as she is incredibly knowledgeable with whale sharks and on all oceanic life! On our tour we swam with beautiful whale sharks in the ocean deep, saw pods of dolphins playing around our boat, and a massively huge sea turtle. Next part of the tour was swimming over a reef where we saw a sting ray, and many other beautiful tropical fish. The last part was relaxing off shore on Isla Mujeres. My sister and I were so happy we chose a private tour as Nuria, 'Kika' the captain, and the rest of the boat crew were so accommodating, professional, knowledgeable, and aw yeah fun! My husband has heard me talking about this tour nonstop since I got home, and I told him we're going on this tour for sure next season! Thank you Eco Tours Adventures!

The best experience with the whale shark - The tour started strut at the meeting point, they give a light lunch in the morning and a pill to not dizzy in the boat, all very friendly and attentive, captain, staff and Jane who was our amazing guide! It was always on the lookout for all of us who took the tour, without a doubt an experience you must live in life, the swim was incredible and I was very close to the whale shark something that left me speechless, after the experience we returned to island women where we had time to snorkel on some incredible reefs, then we went to North Island where the water was incredible we spent an hour there enjoying the food we were given (ceviche, guacamole, sandwich and fruit) drinks all the time we were given, water and soda for before the whale shark experience already in Punta Sur we were given a beer, in general I am very satisfied and happy for everything!

Amazing Tour with Whale Sharks, Amazing Crew - We had an amazing snorkel trip with Whale Sharks with Eco Tours Adventures! The crew was wonderful, everyone was super friendly and helpful, as well as environmental conscious which is always appreciated. Jane, our tour guide was great, she was friendly, funny, and gave us lots of great information & ideas for other activities. It’s great to see someone who cares deeply and protects the animals they work with. We had an amazing dive with the whale sharks, and the crew did their best to spot turtles and dolphins on the boat as well. we had done this tour with a different company in the past, but our experience with Eco Tours was exceptional, and i will be sure to recommend this tour to everyone.

Whale sharks - It was great to see the whale sharks in their environment and Abram is a most friendly and knowledgeable guide. He did a great job leading and along with the captain and crew did a good job of getting us out to see the WSs. The tour isn’t really private though because their are numerous other boats that converge to the fish when one is reported. Be aware that the time you will have with the whale sharks is also very limited. Maybe it was a total of 6 minutes in the water next to them. Just be aware. Great experience but expect a small amount of time
