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 ensure the protection of these creatures, encouraging their return each year. For nature enthusiasts, this is the perfect adventure!
Please note that favorable weather conditions are necessary for these tours to operate. La Paz Bay is closed to all boat tours during strong winds, which may result in cancellations. We will provide notice 1-2 days in advance if this occurs.
