Swim with Whale Shark Isla Mujeres from Akumal

We take you to live an adventure full of adrenaline and emotion. Join this great swim and snorkel experience with whale shark north of Isla Mujeres, departing from Akumal for a full day tour.

Have you considered swimming with the largest fish in the world? It is something that sounds almost impossible but we take you to live it, the waters of the Mexican Caribbean have the privilege of receiving whale sharks year after year and that is why we have the opportunity to approach them by swimming and practicing snorkeling so you can see them even better.

Whales migrate to the Caribbean during the months from June to September , that is why this tour only takes place during this time. They come looking for warm waters to feed and reproduce. Despite their large size, they can be up to 12 meters long, they are totally harmless with humans, they feed mainly on plankton although they can also eat small fish , crustaceans, squid, fish eggs and larvae.

The best thing about the tour is that you can enjoy it and share these unique moments with the whole family , the little ones must be at least 8 years old to enjoy this unforgettable experience . They will be able to dive into the water to swim and snorkel 2 to 3 times during the tour.

It is important to know that if there are only 1 to 5 whale sharks in the area, it is not allowed to enter the water and it would only be a sighting tour, this is for the protection of animals and is a regulation for all tourists visiting the area.

During the journey we will offer you water at all times and on the way back you will be able to eat a delicious ceviche of fresh fish prepared on the spot. We recommend that you bring a swimsuit, towel, glasses, hat, sandals, and of course, your camera! Preferably it is waterproof. If you use sunscreen, please make it biodegradable so as not to harm flora and fauna marine.
