About this experience

From mid-May through September 1, hundreds of whale sharks — the world's largest fish, reaching up to 12 meters — gather in the waters north of Isla Mujeres to feed on fish spawn. This is one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on the planet, and Cancún is the best place to experience it. You'll enter the water in small groups of two swimmers plus a guide, drifting alongside these gentle giants. The tour also includes snorkeling at Isla Mujeres and a full lunch.
