Of course! On our private tours, you will have private round trip transportation and private charter boat with just your party onboard so you will have more freedom and time to spend on the water and enjoy swimming with the whale sharks and on the reef! For private tours, no matter if your group is 10, 7 or less than 5 people we charge the equivalent of 9 spots. If you prefer the shared public tour, you just need to pay 1 spot per person.

The season runs from May 15th to September 17th every year but the really best time is usually between mid-June and mid-August.
-
We sometimes see more than 100 whale sharks, but on average between 1 and 40.
-
Under current regulations, snorkelers will not be permitted to touch the Whale Sharks. These tours are designed as eco-tours and in order to protect the Whale Sharks and the participants, rules specify that snorkelers do not go within 2 meters (6.6 feet) of the Whale Sharks.

Not at all! Whale Sharks are the most docile creatures imaginable, there has never been a problem with them in all our years (since 2001!). The experience is never dangerous. Your safety is of the utmost importance to us. If the weather or the sea is not safe, the port is closed by the port master or we cancel the tour.
-
There is no guarantee that you will see whale sharks. Also, there will be no refund of any kind in case we do not see them. It is very rare that we do not see them. It may happen once per season at the most. We always do our best to ensure you have a wonderful time, but sometimes the sea conditions do not allow us to see them.
-
It is forbidden to dive with Whale Sharks, only snorkeling is allowed.

Yes, he can go with you, many people just go on the tour to take pictures and enjoy the show but the price is the same for everyone as the spaces on our boats are limited.

From our marina in Cancun, the boats we use have the biggest size authorized for this type of tour which is 30 to 35 feet long. They can fit up to 16 people but we only take a maximum of 10 people on board for this excursion. All of our boats have 2 engines, an emergency toilet and are without a doubt the safest and fastest of the region. They have a covering to protect you from the sun, comfortable seats as well as ladders to provide easy access in and out of the water. The boats we use for the tour in Holbox island are sometimes smaller.

No more than 10 people onboard + a guide, one deckhand, and the captain, 13 people per boat maximum.
