Swimming with Whale Sharks

Live a once in a lifetime experience swimming with the largest fish in the world!
This is a unique adventure, near Contoy Island we will find the largest congregation of Whale
Shark in the world, making this area the Whale Shark capital of the world.
Contoy Adventures is a leading Company in adventure tourism that has been developing this
activity for over 18 years during the season from June to September.
This wonderful and unique tour leaves every day from our all-new private marina located at the
Punta Sam Ferry Terminal, in 36 ft boats with a maximum capacity of 10 passengers, (this is the
largest length permitted in the Whale Shark area for security reasons.) One bilingual guide and a
Captain will be part of your crew, the use of a life vest is mandatory, and our guides are certified
for this specific activity.
We have pickups in every hotel in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen, then we will head to
the Marina, where you will have coffee & bread, and before boarding, you will be introduced to
your crew and a short briefing instructions will be given to you, this to perform this activity in the
safest way possible and also to follow the rules for the protection and conservation of this
marvelous creature, this way we can guarantee that this will be one of the best experiences of
your life. Once in the boat, life vests and full snorkeling gear will be provided.
After the instruction briefing, we will board the boats to leave at 07:45 am and navigate for
approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to the whale shark area north of Contoy Island.
The adventure starts right here, where we start searching for the whale shark in a vast area of
120,000 hectares of water, once we find them, the swimming will take place; from 2 to 3
immersions per person, always with 2 people plus the guide in the water.
But the adventure does not end here, after swimming with the whale sharks, we will have a final
stop in beautiful Playa Norte beach in Isla Mujeres, which is simply the nicest beach of the island,
here we will spend about an hour for you to relax. Soft drinks and ceviche will be served on board!
Then we go back to our Marina in Cancun around 1:30 to take you back to your hotels.
