3-Hour Intimate Whale Shark Experience with Gear, Snacks & Photos
Our small-group format means fewer guests, more unhurried time in the water, and no crowds. Swim with a certified bilingual marine guide who keeps the encounter personal and relaxed. Underwater photos and video are included, so you can stay focused on the moment. Non-swimmers can watch from the shaded boat. Included: premium snorkel gear, fins, life jacket, 3 mm shorty wetsuit, federal access bracelets, park permits, conservation support, local snacks, soft drinks, and water. Note: Encounters take place in a strictly regulated protected area that opens only when 10+ whale sharks are present, capped at 14 boats. Slots run 8 AM-5 PM and are assigned daily by the municipality, so departure times can’t be guaranteed. Please stay flexible; we’ll confirm your time once assigned.
