“The opportunity to see and swim with whale sharks was a once in a lifetime experience. They were pretty amazing to see when they came up near the surface and they were massive.I am nervous about swimming with big fish but our guide Filipe was so helpful in making me feel safe and comfortable by guiding me in the right direction. It is definitely worth doing but people should be aware of a couple things to ensure your expectations will be met. It is a long boat ride (1 hours and a half to 2 hours) to get to the location where the whale sharks are and about the same…”

“Wonderful, knowledgeable tour guide-Rueben. Was friendly and so helpful! Wonderful ship’s captain and crew… made sure our experience was exceptional. Can’t wait to see videos! The whale sharks are such beautiful, peaceful creatures! Highly recommend!”

“Only two of dove with the whale shark and less than a minute. We paid for four people. Out of the ten people on the boat only four dove. That was not by choice.”

“The whale sharks did not disappoint and neither did our crew. Nice facility in Punta Juarez and friendly crew. The day was awful though and we had thunderstorms and showers and a few got seasick and it was a miserable 1 hr journey out to the whale sharks. Once there, our guys handled like pros and we all got in for great videos and pics with the big creatures and it was a flurry of sprint swimming to keep up. Glad we did it, but really wish it would have been on another day with better weather.”

“We found the whole trip excellent and had an unforgettable time. Arturo was a great guide, friendly and attentive, and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend swimming with these majestic creatures, it’s one of the best experiences I’ve had with wildlife in my life! Also the lunch was a traditional Mexican spread with cerviche, chips and guacamole, it tasted absolutely lovely and they were very generous with the portions and made sure everyone was happy and satisfied. The swim in the sea by Isla Mujeres was idiliic and a fantastic finish to a super day!”

“The swim itself was amazing. Geovanny our guide helped us get close to the whale sharks and take good photos and videos with his gopro. He was very patient with those not so able swimmers on our boat - you need to be able to swim to keep up with the fast moving animals. Miguel, the captain was very skilful at getting us to the right spot for each dive and the boat ride was enjoyable too. We were served delicious fish ceviche and sandwiches and taken to a beautiful beach in Isla Mujeres before heading back.”

“My wife and I booked this while on vacation for our anniversary, and couldn’t recommend it more! It was so special to swim right next to a whale shark together. The actual experience was a few rounds of diving in two at a time and swimming for a few minutes next to the shark. Everything else was just added benefit which made the overall experience absolutely incredible.”

“Décevant le guide n’a fait aucun effort d’écoute et de compréhension vis à vis de nos différents demandes aux cours de la journée. La visite avec les requins baleines s’effectue pas groupe de deux personnes ce qui laisse peu de possibilités de savourer le moment. Le repas servis sur place dans le bateau et totalement irrespectueux vis à vis du prix que nous avons laissé ( servi dans un petit pots avec 3 chips et un véhicule) je déconseille fortement”

“Fantastic trip! We were lucky enough to swim twice with a magnificent whale shark; although we did jump in a third time, but I didn’t see the whale shark. :)”

“Treffpunkt ist bei Dock 3, nehmt vorher etwas gegen Seekrankheit auch wenn ihr damit normalerweise keine Probleme habt und lange Ärmel helfen gegen Sonnenbrand”

“Waited over an hour for a late group. No one to take video and pictures in the water. The whale sharks were amazing. Long ride to sharks very choppy.”

“Had the most amazing experience swimming with the Whale Sharks. Carlos and Oscar form Kay Tours did a fantastic job. Would do this tour again in a heart beat. From start to finish these guy's made sure every need was dealt with. Two thumbs up to Carlos and Oscar of Kay Tours”

“Today we were very lucky, we found o er 50 Mantras and 3 Whale Sharks, to swim with such amazing fish was very special. From start to finish our guides couldnt have been more amazing. SO PROFESSIONALLY.”

“First of all, let me just say that Kristen from Island Spirit Adventures is a wonderful tour operator. I chose her company based on all of the fantastic reviews and she absolutely lived up to her stellar reputation. We actually had a slight mixup due to us changing the originaRead more”

“This was a wonderful experience for our family. We each got in the water with the whale sharks multiple times. The extra cost of the private tour was well worth the price. If we had been in a much larger group, we would only have been able to get in the water twice at most and may not have been able to see the animals nearly as well. We got some cool video of the experience as well! Captain Pablo and Guide Carlos were informative and attentive. We accidentally left our shoes on the boat, and Pablo personally delivered them to our hotel after the tour. It was great, and…”
