This summer, swim with the whale shark and live the experience of a lifetime! You'll have a chance to swim with a 14-meter-long animal and the biggest fish in the world.

Meet your guide and group at a central location in Holbox at 7am. Receive a small briefing and all the necessary equipment plus some light breakfast before the start of the tour.

During the tour, you'll also get the catch of the day from a fisherman to prepare the freshest ceviche. On the way back, you will stop near Cabo Catoche to snorkel the “cuevones” reef and maybe see sea turtles, nurse sharks, lobsters, squids, octopuses, and different reef fish. Finally, you will go to Santa Paula, where you can stretch our legs, have a pleasant swim and enjoy the delicious ceviche. Then, you'll have a 45-minute journey back to Isla Holbox.
