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.

On our Ocean Safari, we sail through La Ventana, Cerralvo Island and its surroundings with an open heart to whatever the sea wants to show us. Mobulas (flying blankets), dolphins, whales, orcas, sea lions... every day is a surprise. We also visited a beach to eat together (place varies by group). We seek authentic and respectful encounters. We follow strict protocols: safe distance, limited times per boat, engines off when touching. Swimming with whales and sperm whales is not allowed. For us, the wellbeing of marine life is as important as your experience. ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS ARE NOT GUARANTEED. But from May to June there is a great opportunity to see bulls, whales in transit, dolphins and orcas. From July to December, warm waters and ideal for enjoying reefs, looking for dolphins and some other surprises. In winter, the main great gift is whale watching near the coast or island. Come feel it.
