Your excursion itinerary
Plan your offshore excursion
The day centers on a boat trip to look for whale sharks in the waters off the northern Yucatan coast. Operating dates, departures and swimming activities depend on local rules and sea conditions.
Prepare for open-water swimming
Follow the crew’s briefing and wildlife instructions. Tell us about swimming experience and any participation concerns before booking. Sightings and time in the water cannot be guaranteed.
Confirm the route and inclusions
The published package lists snorkeling equipment, boat travel, a light meal and drinks. Confirm transport, taxes, any Isla Mujeres-area stop and private boat arrangements in your quote. Do not assume a particular wildlife encounter or beach stop is guaranteed.
Compare private and shared formats
The per-person rate shown on this page should be confirmed against your requested private arrangements. For a shared departure, compare the current whale shark excursion and booking options.

When does the excursion operate?
Whale shark excursions are seasonal. Ask for the current permitted operating dates and departure availability for your vacation; the season alone does not guarantee a particular departure or sighting.
Is open-water swimming required?
The swimming activity takes place offshore. Tell us about your swimming ability and any concerns before booking so the team can confirm the participation requirements and whether the trip is suitable.
Is the displayed per-person price the total for a private boat?
No complete private-boat total is stated here. Request a quote for your group and confirm what transport, boat and guiding arrangements are private before paying.
What happens if conditions prevent the trip?
Ask how the booking terms apply to your departure, including weather-related changes, cancellation and any rescheduling or refund arrangements. Do not assume a specific outcome before it is confirmed.
How do I confirm pickup and guide language?
Send your travel date, accommodation address, number of travelers and preferred guide language. We confirm the available departure arrangements before you reserve.
What should I confirm before paying?
Confirm the date, total price and currency, pickup, inclusions, activity requirements and cancellation terms. Read the booking terms and ask the team about anything specific to your group.

Enjoy the day and come home with photographs of everyone together. The 5,900 MXN photography package includes coverage of the key moments in your planned itinerary and 50 edited high-resolution photographs.
Receive 3–5 highlights within 24 hours and your private online gallery within 5 business days. Additional photo options are available.
