Bucket list item - swimming with whale sharks!!! ✅

This whale shark tour was the best for our group of 8, with 4 kids ranging from 4 to 13. The experience was made even more wonderful by our guide Alma who was nothing short of magical, talking us through and teaching us and coaching us the whole way. We were so lucky to each get two wonderful swims each with a whale shark! Once in a lifetime experience and we bought all the pictures to capture the memories! The snorkel and boat float time were also really nice and we enjoyed our snacks and time in the water. It was a beautiful day, one we won’t soon forget. Also, take the Dramamine!

Snorkeling fun

It was great. Oscar was our guide and he was phenomenal, very helpful and patient with all of us. Made sure no one got left and everyone was OK the entire time. We saw a ton of fish, beautiful coral and a turtle. Lots of fun and short enough it kept my kids interested the entire time.

Best Tour Guide Ever - Daniel and Jessica

From the moment i was pickedup i knew i was going to have a great time, Daniel greeted me with great energy. He asked nicely for my payment that was due before i got on the bus but he allowed me to get on as I had so much stuff in my hands. The driver, Jessica, provided us with snacks, which was unexpected and a nice touch. They were both fun and engaging, which made the trip better. Daniel even gave his number to us to have a friend for when we return to Mexico. The excursion itself was everything I needed, from the tour through Tulum with the beautiful architecture to the snorkeling in the clear seas. When we made itto the centoe to eat, i would have wished for more food than what was provided, they gave enough for a adolescent. But overall, it was a great experience and the highlight of my Mexico trip

Whale Sharks Small-Group Tour in Cancun and Riviera Maya

Hailey_N, Jun 2026

Amazing experience!

This was so awesome! We saw lots of whale sharks, manta rays, and even some dolphins! Mo and the team were amazing and very knowledgeable. Everything felt very safe and smooth! The lunch was delicious, and we stopped for a little beach relaxation on the way back, which was really great. Definitely take Dramamine before the boat ride; it was very choppy as we had a little weather, and stopping to get in with the whale sharks made a few people a little seasick. Also, when they say to put whatever you don't want to get wet in their cabinet, they mean it! I would recommend just wearing your bathing suit the whole boat ride because you will get soaked! Overall 11/10, I highly recommend!

I am coming back!!!

I had a great experience. It was very peaceful, fun, and honest crew. They gave us all free drinks. Snorkeling, free swim time and dropped off at isla mujeres. When we arrived at Isla our crew guy was straight up about what to expect and how to not get scammed on the island. When we arrived, the food at Perla Negra was reasonably priced and very delicious. My experience was lovely I would highly recommend and I hope to be back soon!!

Boating tour in Cancun.

So much fun! The boats were cute and the tour in the mangroves, harbor, and the sea was fantastic! We also loved the snorkeling tour around the reef and statues. We saw lots of fish, sea fans, and corals. The water was calm and warm and at a pleasant pace. Our guide, Jimmy, was great!

Amazing snorkeling, great team, highly recommend!

This snorkel experience was the highlight of our trip! We saw a green sea turtle, eagle ray, nurse shark, barracudas, healthy coral, and a variety of beautiful fish (so grateful for our guide Christopher’s knowledge of the reef!!). The team at Wet Set Diving Adventures did an excellent job of making sure we felt safe and had fun throughout the experience. My partner and I took an uber down to Puerto Morelos from the Cancun hotel zone and felt the meetup point was easy to find. Book this!!!

We had an amazing...

We had an amazing snorkeling experience thanks to Olaf and Cornelio! From start to finish, everything was well organized, safe, and fun. They were incredibly knowledgeable, made us feel comfortable in the water, and took the time to point out so much marine life we would have missed on our own. Their energy and professionalism really stood out, they made the whole experience enjoyable and memorable. You can tell they truly care about what they do and about giving people a great time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

Really fun tour

Really well organised and professional with friendly staff. Was unexpectedly able to accommodate 3 of us whom had not booked. I had booked the husband with my daughter however upon arrival was advised that myself and my 2 children could go too ( obviously paying) if i had been able to prebook we would have . It felt safe and it was sooo much fun ( i had done a similar tour on jetski and didn't enjoy it) oma our guide was great made sure we all knew what we were doing. The video and pictures looked good, but we declined as felt £79 was expensive for what was offered, personal choice. Would definitely recommend the tour.

Excellent trip

Snorkeling was so much fun! The guide was extremely helpful and calm, captain Barracuda drove the boat well and they even had an extra guide to take GoPro photos and videos. We got fantastic footage with the turtles and the many colorful fish around the reef, museum and shipwreck.

Lashunda_B, Aug 2025

Awesome!

This was a great excursion we added to our trip. All the tour guides were great and have clear instructions. It’s great for all ages. The speed boat hold two adults comfortably. If you have a small child they ride with you if it’s another adult they will have to drive another speed boat. We saw plenty of fish during the snorkeling. I would highly recommend. The food was just okay and our bus was waiting so no time to really eat.
