At the indicated time, we'll meet at Calle Palomino and start the day with a breakfast of yoghurt, granola, fruit, and freshly baked bread accompanied by coffee or tea.

During breakfast, we'll provide a safety briefing and assign your snorkelling equipment. Once ready, we'll head to the dock to board the boat and venture into the warm waters of the Mexican Caribbean. During the trip, we will share interesting facts about the whale shark, the largest fish in the world that can reach up to 12 metres (39 ft) in length.

After gearing up, we'll head out to search for whale sharks, which arrive annually to feed on plankton along the coasts of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. You'll also have the chance to spot hawksbill turtles and devil rays.

After swimming with the whale sharks, we'll stop at Los Cuevones reef off Cabo Catoche. Here, we will snorkel to see more species such as cat sharks, octopus, and squid.

After the swim, we will enjoy a delicious fish or mango ceviche in Santa Paula before returning to the meeting point, completing the activity in approximately 6 to 7 hours.
