Once in a lifetime swimming with whale sharks - This experience is a once in a lifetime and Abel and Solomon were awesome! They took care of us from beginning to end we all got to see the whale sharks twice! They made a delicious ceviche for lunch while we swam off Isla Mujeres. The trip is well planned and executed by seasoned folks with emphasis on safety for us and for the sharks!

Amazing ! - It is an incredible experience, seeing the whale shark in its natural habitat amazes you, they are very large, the tour is very good, we offer you snacks at the beginning such as coffee, fruit and a sandwich, everyone is very friendly and explains very well, it is a little tired because you have to swim following the whale shark but there is always a guide with you accompanying you and taking care of you, I highly recommend it! It is spectacular!
