Whale Shark Snorkel Adventures |
 |
Experience this once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel with these gentle giants of the sea. The Mexican Caribbean is home to this mysterious wonder of nature July through August.
Offering the only highly personalized service for this lengthy but amazing adventure, this tour provider has the "inside track" on finding whalesharks from family who live right in the area!
The adventure begins bright and early as guests meet their guide for departure to the mainland. On the mainland guests are transported by vehicles with A/C (typically a Mercedes Benz 16 person van but not guaranteed) to the coastal departure point for the whaleshark expedition. A friendly guide accompanies everyone throughout the entire day's journey to point out the highlights of the expedition as well as to share information about these remarkable whalesharks.
Once at the coastal departure point, guests will board a panga type fishing boat which will travel to the Open Ocean Natural Reserve. This is where the high concentration of plankton annually attracts the whale sharks for feeding, mating and basking in the shallows below the surface. When the whalesharks are spotted participants enter the water a few at a time and get to snorkel and swim alongside these gentle giants of the sea. Other participants will be busy taking pictures or video from on board the boat. After the encounter, guests enjoy some soft drinks as the boat heads for a typical Caribbean fishing village where there will be about 1 hour of free time to enjoy a buffet lunch and wander around to interact with the people or bargain for treasures before heading back to Cozumel. |
