Shark Diving, Cancún

Cancún is much more than huge all-inclusive hotels and drinks with umbrellas.

One of the most exciting things you can do is to scuba dive or snorkel with the amazing Whale Sharks.

Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula is one of the few places in the world where you can snorkel/scuba dive with the Whale Shark.

But a snorkel tour is more than this. You may also spot dolphins, manta rays and flamingos.

You will be pickup from your hotel in the morning and transported to your boat. Then it is time to be heading to the Whale Shark destination.

When the Whale Sharks has been spotted, you can jump into the ocean and snorkel alongside it for a wildlife encounter few people ever experience. Imagine to snorkel together with the up to 12 meter and 13 tones huge, but very elegant animal. This is an unforgettable experience.

You will also snorkel the reef, where you can admire the variety of marine animals and corals residing in the Gulf of Mexico.

And if you have any questions, a biologist/naturalist will be onboard throughout the day to answer them. They will also provide you with information on how to interact with the local marine life to ensure you have a safe and fun experience.

“What if I do not see a Whale Shark”, you may ask. Well, in the unlikely event that there are no Whale Shark sightings on the cruise, you can do another cruise on the following day free of charge. No money wasted (just remember not to plan your Whale Shark diving on the last day of your vacation).

The price for the one-day Whale Shark snorkel tour is $195 – including hotel pickup and drop off, boat transport, snorkel equipment, guide, lunch, water and soft drinks. Remember to book well in advance, because it is a very popular tour.

You can book the Whale Shark tour through the popular adventure company Viator.
