🌊🦈 Whale Shark Tour – Holbox

Experience the unforgettable opportunity to swim alongside one of the giants of the sea — whale sharks, which can grow up to 20 meters long and weigh more than 20 tons.

The tour begins from the north side of the island at the Whale Shark Dock, heading toward waters off Cabo Catoche, or sometimes to the Mexican Caribbean. The crew will first search for the whale shark in its natural habitat.

Once sighted, you will enjoy observation from the boat followed by a guided swim in pairs, accompanied at all times by a certified guide. Depending on conditions and crew or Environmental Authority discretion, it may be possible to have two swims.

Afterward, the tour continues to the reefs at Cabo Catoche for approximately 40 minutes of snorkeling, where you may observe species in their natural habitat, such as nurse sharks, manta rays, turtles, and various fish.

The next stop is the pristine beaches of Cabo Catoche, where you can walk, swim, relax, take photos, and enjoy freshly prepared fish ceviche by the crew. If conditions allow, the final stop includes viewing Santa Paula River from the boat (bird resting area and mangrove observation) before returning to the departure point.

During the tour, there may also be opportunities to see dolphins, sea turtles, and flamingos in their natural habitat.
