On the journey, you will likely encounter manta rays, dolphins and turtles.

On our return, we will visit a small reef in the Cuevones, at Cabo Catoche, where you can snorkel with many more marine life.

We will then return to Holbox, a 45 minute trip.

We are permitted to get nice and close to the whale sharks due to special permission from the Department of ___ allowing us to interact with them. By approaching them as close as 30m on our boat, you will be able to enter the water with our experienced water guides and enjoy them as they swim close by while keeping a safe distance of 3m. We will do all that we can to maximise your chances of an epic swim with a whale shark.

All of our crew have participated in the Department of ___Whale Shark Training Program so they are very qualified and experienced in how to swim with Whale Sharks. The crew will explain to you how to best swim with your Whale Shark to increase our chances of a perfect experience.


Seasickness is always a risk when spending a day on the water. Ways that you can avoid illness from affecting your day are:

Avoid drinking alcohol the night before your tour

Get a good night's sleep

Eat a small non-greasy breakfast prior to arriving

Purchase yourself some sea sickness medication from a pharmacy and take it as per the instructions

Once onboard, sip water and keep your eyes on the horizon as much as possible

Sit out in the breeze, don’t confine yourself inside

Try not to think about it, sometimes your own mindset is the best preventative

We offer water and assistance on board to anyone who may feel unwell.

We recommend consulting your pharmacist for motion sickness tablets in the event you may get sick as we are unable to refund tours due to seasickness.
