Amazing whale shark adventure!!

Danell_J, Jul 2023

Fantastic trip! We were lucky enough to swim twice with a magnificent whale shark; although we did jump in a third time, but I didn’t see the whale shark. :) Amazing experience all around with wonderful tour guides and captain. After our swims we went to a beautiful reef to snorkel while the captain made us fresh ceviche and guacamole. I can’t say enough about this trip. Crossed off a bucket list item for my entire family!
