Swim with whale sharks - amazing! - We did this tour, arranged by our hotel concierge. It was at the end of the season, so there weren’t as many whale sharks around, but it was fantastic! We saw whale sharks and a giant manta ray! The only downside, was that this late in the season when there are very few whale sharks, it felt like the whale sharks were intimidated by the number of boats and people trying to see them and swim with them. We think we’ll try doing this again earlier in the season when there are still many whale sharks around. Our guide, Maia, was amazing – very pleasant, spoke to everyone (she speaks four different languages) and was very upbeat. Great tour!

Adventure of a lifetime!! - Our guide Alex was so kind and knowledgeable. The captain and mate were great at spotting whale sharks. The three worked great together. Alex made sure we had an amazing adventure by keeping us informed of the direction to swim to be by the whale sharks.

A lifetime experience that i would do daily - This was honestly one of the best experiences of my trip! The shark tour was incredibly well organized, exciting, and unforgettable. Everything from the boat ride to being in the water was an amazing experience, and the whole team made us feel safe and comfortable throughout. A special thank you to Maia, our guide, who truly made the experience even more special. She was incredibly friendly, energetic, professional, and had such great vibes! Her positive attitude and enthusiasm made everyone feel comfortable and excited, and you could really tell that she genuinely cared about making sure we had an amazing experience. Maia went above and beyond to make the day memorable, and she definitely deserves a special mention. 🙌 If you’re considering doing a shark tour, I highly recommend this one and hopefully you’ll be lucky enough to have Maia as your guide! 🦈🌊 Thank you to the whole team for an unforgettable experience! ❤️

Fantastic! - The experience was incredible. My husband and I were able to swim alone with a whale. They were very punctual with the transfers and meeting points, but the bus was very uncomfortable and cramped. Maia, our guide on the boat, was super kind to us and helped us feel at home at all times. Their boat team with Pinocho and Lester was great. We would have liked, however, to be able to enjoy a little more time on Isla Mujeres. Thank you very much for everything! P.S.: The ceviche was exquisite.

Photos and videos - The experience of swimming with whale sharks is unbelievable and I would recommend to anyone to do. We saw turtles and loads of dolphins on the boat on our way to the whale sharks. Kenny the guide was brilliant and communicated really well. The bit that has really irritated me and puts the score down is on arrival back to land we were sold the package of videos and pictures from the trip. We paid 60 dollars but had to wait an hour and half for the card machine. Then we were told the pictures could take up to 72 hrs. I never received these so I have contacted the company to a response they’ve been sent. I explained I’ve not received them and proved payment and gave my email and mobile number again. The company is now ignoring me so would tell people to be careful.
