What's Included
Meeting and pickup
It is VERY IMPORTANT to arrive on time at the hour. There's no tolerance after the meeting time since the whale shark area is strictly regulated by the Government. We will meet at "Marina de La Paz" which is located in the corner of "Topete and Legaspy" streets.
What to expect
Then we will give you all the gear you need: mask, snorkel, fins and wetsuit (shortie). After that we will depart to the whale shark area and request a spot in the control stand for the Whale Shark area.
Once we found one or more we will start the watching and snorkel activity. Our groups are 9 people maximum per boat, this ensures not crowded boats and a more professional and personalized service. We will do the snorkeling activity in groups of 2 to 4 at the same time on the water, so you have a comfortable experience. The guide will take turns with every group and you will be able to swim several times and very probable with more than one whale shark, the times you want to snorkel depends on you, we won't limit you to jump in the water just 1 or 2 times as it can be usual with other tours.
