What you can expect

We’ll pick you up at the scheduled time in your hotel or at the Playa del Carmen Senor Frogs for guests coming from Cozumel ( https://goo.gl/maps/u9Yj8D2kCPfC89gd9) and head directly to Cancun. During the ride, our guide will brief you about the day plan, whale shark biology, and its habitat.

Once we arrive at the marina, you’ll have time to relax, enjoy a light breakfast, and prepare for the adventure. After breakfast, we’ll depart for the whale shark area and start our search. If we spot manta rays on the way to the whale shark zone, the captain will stop the boat, and we’ll snorkel with these magnificent animals.
Once whale sharks are spotted, we will start snorkeling. We’ll do some Snorkeling rounds: two guests and one guide. We swim slowly, smoothly, and calmly. We are guests at the home of the whale shark. Respect, watch, and enjoy these amazing creatures. Remember that we are just observant in their world.
After the swimming and all the excitement, we’ll serve sandwiches, fruits, water, and soft drinks, and on the way back, we will stop to do some snorkeling and return to Isla Mujeres for lunch. We’ll have an hour to relax and enjoy the fantastic beach Playa Norte in Islas Mujeres. After the beautiful day, we will return to the marina at about 03:30 PM.
During the tour, our guides will provide you with information about the fauna of this beautiful ecosystem, explain security protocols, and ensure you have a great time.

Please note that the tour for guests staying in Cozumel is only available on Tuesdays and Fridays.
