An Exclusive Adventure, Not a Mass Excursion

Forget about crowded boats. Our philosophy is quality over quantity. Therefore, we limit each expedition to a maximum of 10 passengers. This not only guarantees your comfort and safety, but also allows us to offer you a truly personal experience and a respectful encounter with wildlife.

Guided by certified local captains, you will secure two swimming opportunities per couple, giving yourself enough time to admire the grace and beauty of these giants. And when the excitement of swimming ends, the relaxation begins: we will anchor in the crystal clear waters of Playa Norte, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world, where our team will indulge you with fresh ceviche and sandwiches while relaxing in paradise.

Is it safe to swim with the whale shark?

Absolutely. They are gentle giants that feed on plankton. Our expert guides will ensure that you follow all safety rules for a respectful and safe interaction.

Can I touch the whale shark?

No. To protect the animals and for your own safety, it is strictly prohibited to touch them. We must maintain a respectful distance.

We recommend bringing towel, hat, sunglasses, water camera and, very importantly, sunscreen that is 100% biodegradable so as not to damage the marine ecosystem.

Safety is our priority. If the port conditions are not safe for navigation, the tour will be rescheduled. If you cannot attend on the new date, we will offer you a refund.
