After the breakfast, we’ll depart towards the whale shark area and start our search. It easy to meet other incredible creatures on the way so you will have a great chance to swim with oceanic mantas, dolphins, turtles and much more! Once whale sharks are spotted, we will start with the snorkeling. We’ll do something called – Snorkeling rounds: 2 guests and one guide. We swim slowly, smoothly, calmly. We are guests at home of the whale shark. Respect, watch and enjoy these amazing creatures as we are just observants in their world. After the swimming with the gentle giants we’ll serve you sandwiches, fruits, water and soft drinks while we’re heading back to Isla Mujeres for the lunch. We’ll have time to relax and enjoy the fantastic beach Playa Norte in Islas Mujeres. After a wonderful day, we will return to the marina at about 03:30 PM.
