New to Cozumel, this tour lets you swim and snorkel with the world's largest fish in the open ocean in only 9 hours! Board a fast boat and head for Isla Contoy, where hundreds of these massive creatures, up to 60 feet (12m) in length, gather every summer to breed and feed on the summer plankton bloom. This is one of nature's most incredible experiences - you will likely get to snorkel right there with them! Nowhere else in the Caribbean can you have an experience like this - only in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico.

THIS TOUR IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE

Don't Forget:

Notes:

  • The whale sharks can be seen from up close, but not touched. All trips are reconfirmed a day in advance to assure good weather for viewing the whale sharks. Please travel as light as possible as there is limited room in the boat. Sightings and swimming are not guaranteed, as nature is nature, but most times you are able to swim with the sharks, particularly mid-season.

  • If you are not comfortable swimming in open ocean water, this tour may not be for you. If you need help into the water, write this request in the special instructions when booking.

New Goverment Regulations:

  • Only biodegradable sunblock may be used.

  • Swimming is permitted only if 5 or more sharks are in the area. If fewer, guests will observe from the boat.

  • Each guest may swim a maximum of 2 times for 10 minutes maximum each time.

  • Alcoholic beverages are not allowed on board.

  • These rules are in place to protect the whale sharks and ensure their well being.  Please be respectful.
