Whale Shark Tour Cancun: The Biggest Adventure of Your Life

Swim with whale sharks in Cancun in this extraordinary adventure at sea. This is a seasonal tour in Cancun and worth a trip just for the experience of swimming with the biggest fish in the ocean. From June to September the whale sharks swim in Cancun for the warm waters rich in their favorite snacks, which thankfully, are microscopic plankton and not human size.

The locals call them “Dominos” for their beautiful spotted skin and our trusted captains know where to find them. Whale sharks can grow up to 12 meters in length, that's bigger than a lot of boats! The experience is limited to very few people per day in order to preserve and protect the areas around Isla Contoy, Isla Holbox and Isla Mujeres where the whale sharks swim.

Meet your friendly expert guide at the dock and set sail in a small boat with maximum 10 passengers, this is a totally VIP unique experience. Your captain and crew are passionate about bringing you the best whale shark experience in Cancun while conserving the ocean and allowing these majestic creatures to swim in peace. No touching of the whale sharks is the number one rule!

Once you reach the gathering place, you’ll put on your snorkel mask and fins and leap into the water in pairs when the guide says GO. You’ll snorkel with whale sharks and be absolutely AWED and wowed by their beauty and size. A truly once in a lifetime adventure.

After your out of this world whale shark experience, you’ll head to the turquoise waters around Isla Mujeres and enjoy a light lunch and refreshments. This is one of our personal FAVE local experiences in Cancun, something you can’t do anywhere else, a MUST do Cancun tour to swim with whale sharks!

This tour was absolutely AHHMAZING!! The day started with my groups private shuttle from the resort. Once there, It was a little unorganized and I was getting frustrated, but once it was underway it was nonstop. I highly recommend this tour and suggest paying extra for the private Cenotes & Tequila tasting; especially if you’re in a group. I’m so sorry I don’t remember our guide/photographers name but he was great. I would definitely use Happy Shuttle Tour’s/Extreme Adventures if visiting the Costa Mujeres area again. Thank you for a GREAT ADVENTURE!!
