Go snorkelling with whale sharks and enjoy a delicious lunch on the waters of Playa Norte! An unforgettable experience in the Mexican Caribbean!
Activity Details
After picking you up from your hotel in Cancun, we'll travel to the Riviera Maya coast, where you'll be offered a breakfast of coffee, fruit juice, pastries and fresh fruit. Then, we'll board our boat and set sail on the Caribbean waters.
On the boat trip, the guide will explain the habits and characteristics of the whale sharks, and then we'll hand out the snorkelling equipment and you can dive into the water and get up close to these fish. Did you know that this is the largest fish species known to man? You'll have free time to play in the sea and swim alongside these incredible animals.
Back on the boat, we'll replenish our energy with sandwiches and drinks, and then we'll continue sailing towards a beautiful coral reef where you'll be able to go snorkelling once again. Once you've finished snorkelling, we'll board the boat again and sail towards Playa Norte.
We'll anchor down at Playa Norte, the best beach on Isla Mujeres. Get ready to discover a Caribbean paradise of white sand and crystal-clear waters! Here, on the water, you'll also enjoy a delicious lunch including ceviche and fresh fruit. Vegetarian options are available if previously requested. After lunch, we'll head back to the mainland and drop you back at your hotel in Cancun.

Whale Shark Sighting
Whale shark sightings are most likely from July to September, though these majestic creatures can be unpredictable. Factors like weather and breeding seasons influence the number of sightings.
Additional Info
- Only a maximum of 2 jumps per person from the boat are allowed.
- When there are 5 sharks or fewer and more than 5 speedboats, jumps are not allowed and you'll only observe the sharks from the boat.
- If it's not possible to swim with sharks for reasons beyond the provider's control, there will be no refund, but a new date can be rescheduled.
- The snorkeling activity will take place as long as the conditions for the activity allow, either for safety reasons due to strong currents or poor water visibility.
