Itinerary
Our guide will meet you at our location and will offer a quick but useful safety briefing while offering a coffee break before boarding the whale shark area. The equipment will be handed here, and this will be our departure and returning spot. After the tour is finished, we come back to the same location, where your transportation will be waiting for you in case you selected that option.
After enjoying the swim with the whale shark experience, we'll visit one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, "Playa Norte", where we'll enjoy lunch while relaxing in nice, shallow, crystal clear waters with white sand.
We'll visit a natural protected area where the whale sharks live and feed temporarily (during May and September). This is where we'll enjoy the whale shark experience. This is located between Isla Mujeres and Isla Contoy (1 hour boat trip from Cancun). On the way, it is usual to see dolphins, turtles and giant manta rays.

About Cancun
Cancun pairs a long ribbon of white-sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean water with Maya ruins, cenotes and islands all within easy reach.
The Hotel Zone curves along a narrow strip of land between the Caribbean and the Nichupté Lagoon, lined with resorts and beaches such as Playa Delfines, where the sand is powder-soft and the sea glows in every shade of blue. Downtown Cancun, on the mainland, is where locals eat and shop, with taquerías and evening stalls around Parque de las Palapas.
Top-ranked sights in Cancun: Chichen Itza, Tulum Archeological Site, Isla Mujeres.
