Such an incredible time!! Absolutely hassle free!! Great tour with great people! Easy to book with and very fast response time! Highly recommend!
Great experience! The pick up was right on time. I traveled solo. Organized meet up at the dock. The trip out was a bit rough sea so take Dramamine! The whale encouter was amazing! The guide and boat crew brought us right in top of them. Everyone in the boat got to swim with them twice! So Cool!! The lunch served by the beach of Isla Mujeres was fantastic. A great day overall! I will go agin!
Overall great experience. Make sure to take some non-drowsy Dramamine. It was an hour boat ride out for us. The ride out for everyone was the easy part, you are more likely to get sick when the bat is moving slow or stopped.
Everything went perfect, we enjoyed a lot this experience. Perfect guides and lot of fun! Incredible experience.
Best part of our vacation! Julan and Carlos made the adventure exciting and safe! We would definitely recommend this company to anyone!
Superb experience. We really liked swimming with the whale sharks. I recommend this activity, it is unforgettable.
I highly recommend this experience to people coming to Isla Mujeres or staying in Cancun. We went on a boat with Felipe and Lolo. Felipe did a fantastic job explaining and guiding us during our trip to the whale shark habitat, as well as providing us with an experience that will surely make us come back. Lolo got us to the habitat as fast as possible so that we were able to fully enjoy seeing the sharks. If you have the chance, you will be able to see not just whale sharks, but beautiful manta rays as well. After the experience, we went to crystal-clear, shallow waters near the docks to enjoy fresh ceviche and watermelon on the boat. This trip alone made our stay in Isla Mujeres fantastic. Big thanks to the guys for providing this experience, and I hope that everyone who goes will enjoy it as much as we did!
Felipe, our guide, and Lolo, our boat captain, took us on what we can only describe as a dream excursion. The boat was comfortable and had plenty of shade for our ride out and back. The whale sharks were showing off. Lolo pi the boat in perfect position for getting alongside the sharks. Felipe was our guide in the water taking pictures for us and making sure to keep us on task and safe while enjoying these fantastic animals. They made us a great lunch of guacamole and ceviche. If you plan on doing a whale shark excursion, this is the team to use. They are top notch!
Amazing whale shark experience in Isla Mujeres! We had a great time on the whale shark tour. The whole experience was exciting, well organized, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico. The crew was friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. Swimming with the whale sharks was an unforgettable experience and something I would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Isla Mujeres or Cancún. Thank you to the whole team for an amazing day!
Great experience, our 2 guides were very kind, a truly unforgettable experience! Good meal served on board. I recommend it 100%!
