1Isla Mujeres
This adventure starts early when our team picks you up in the lobby of your hotel around 5 or 6 am. Get ready to discover an incredible and unforgettable experience. You will aboard a boat that will take you by the Caribbean Sea to the famous Island of Women, where in the course we will stop at a point where this famous and beautiful creature, the whale shark, is located. You will go down to swim with the shark in couple, 2 to 3 sessions per person depending on how much whale sharks there are. You'll be given your gear and you're ready to swim. At the end of this activity we will go to the North Beach of Isla Mujeres where you can enjoy a snack that includes a mexican ceviche. We will return to the boat to head back to your hotel after this great adventure. Unfortunately we can´t guarantee the whale shark sightseeing but in most of the cases we find them. If we find less than 5 shark whale, we will make only the sightseeing.
