Amazing tour and was able to swim with so many whale sharks. Be ready to swim hard and fast as these giants although look to be moving slow are actually moving very fast.

We were delayed 2 hours because the tour company was confused about the pick-up address of a participant and because the driver and guide took the wrong path. Generally you can see the whale shark 3 to 4 times, we saw it only once, due to the company's mistake and they never offered any type of discount or refund. They only offered to send the photos of the tour and they mistakenly sent me some from another tour.

Could not recommend this trip enough. I was worried that we wouldn’t see any sharks due to it being close to the end of the season but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Our tour guide Raoul was amazing and so knowledgable and we found a juvenile shark and we’re able to swim twice with it - words can’t describe how amazing this experience was… and then to top everything off, there was a pod of dolphins feeding near by which was so beautiful to see. We then travelled to Isla Mujeres to swim at Playa Norte and have lunch which was fresh ceviche de pescado and guacamole, 10/10.

There was a lot more travle involved than I realized. It took an hour to get to the dock where we changed and ate a small breakfast. We boarded the boat and it took another hour before we found the whale sharks. The guides were wonderful and had us get into the water in pairs. We also saw sea turtles and manya raus! I wish they explained more about the sharks though. I only knew whay I researched and had a desire to learn more! It was another hour back to isla mujeres. The water was beautiful and the food the ceviche served was delicious. We rode back and had another hour ride to the hotel with drop offs.

The guide could not find a whale shark. We wasted an entire day of vacation and Viator refuses to refund the tour cost.

Emmanuel and the entire boat crew were awesome. Emmanuel had so much energy and he ensured we were where we needed to be and that our requests were met. We saw plenty of Whale Sharks and we had so much fun, in part due to how much the crew cared for us.

We had a very nice day with our amazing tour guide "Alexandra". We had two opportunities to swim with the whale sharks including one close encounter. The tour was clear and Alexandra helped us make the most out of our own experience with this majestic creature. I would recommend this tour, especially when Alexandra is the tour guide!
