Bucket List Experience: Swim with Whale Sharks in Isla Mujeres

What you'll do:

Get ready to check a major bucket list experience off in the most unforgettable way. You’ll join a guided boat expedition and swim alongside the largest — and most gentle — fish in the world: whale sharks.

Starting with hotel pickup from Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Costa Mujeres, or the Isla Mujeres mainland, you'll head to a comfortable meeting point for a light breakfast before launching into your ocean adventure. After a 50-minute boat ride, you’ll arrive at the feeding grounds to snorkel with whale sharks (and maybe even manta rays!).

After the swim, enjoy sandwiches onboard and a beach stop at Isla Mujeres or snorkeling at the reef near Contoy Island. It's a full day of awe and adventure wrapped in natural beauty.
