• La Paz - This tour is truly unique as La Paz is one of the few places globally where whale sharks can be observed in a sustainable and mindful manner. Consequently, the Government has implemented several regulations to ensure their protection. The whale shark area is limited to just 14 boats at a time, so daily turn assignments are necessary. Typically, the requested turn is granted 95% of the time, though occasionally a later turn is assigned, or in rare instances, no turn is available (this occurred only twice out of over 200 tours last season). Therefore, it is kindly requested that you remain accessible via the phone or email provided at booking, as notifications regarding your turn will be sent the day prior, once the schedule is confirmed.

Please ensure that the contact email or phone number provided is accessible during your stay in La Paz, in case there is a need to reach you for any schedule changes before the tour.

Join the premier whale shark tour in La Paz and encounter the largest fish on the planet, the magnificent gentle giant.

Within minutes of entering La Paz Bay, participants will have the opportunity to search for and swim alongside one or more whale sharks, under the guidance of a local marine biologist who will provide fascinating insights about this incredible species. Our whale shark tours accommodate a maximum of 9 people per boat, ensuring a comfortable and personalized experience.

This activity is arguably the most unique in the region, with La Paz ranking among the top three global destinations for whale shark snorkeling tours. Consequently, the activity is strictly regulated by the government and tour operators to protect these creatures and encourage their annual return. For nature enthusiasts, this is the perfect adventure!

• Bring towel and warm clothes (VERY important Nov-March) and biodegradable sunscreen
• Activity restricted for safety and federal regulations to: women in pregnancy, heart, neck and breathing problems
• Freediving is not allowed due to Federal regulations, only snorkeling in the surface
