What makes this experience unique is that you don't visit the Whale Shark... enter its world. Unlike other water activities, you are not in an aquarium or a show here – you are swimming in the open ocean alongside the largest fish on the planet, in its natural habitat and responsibly. Also, it’s not a massive or hasty activity; you’ll have 2-3 real swimming opportunities, accompanied by certified guides who prioritize your safety and respect for the species. It is an authentic, exciting and difficult experience to compare with any other tour.

All this accompanied by fresh Punta Baja style foods, drinks included, comfortable boats and certified guides that really engage in your experience.
