Swim with whale sharks, the largest fish in the world, and enjoy a delicious lunch on the waters of Playa Norte. A day trip to remember!

Activity Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel and head to the coast of the Riviera Maya, where you can enjoy a breakfast of coffee, fruit juice, pastries and fresh fruit. With our energy replenished, we'll set sail in a speedboat across the Caribbean Sea.

As we cruise along, our expert guide will provide information about whale sharks' habits and lifestyles. When we spot them, we’ll supply the snorkel equipment so you can jump in and see these magnificent creatures up close, if you wish. Sometimes, the whale sharks swim with their young, and you may also encounter stingrays; it's an experience you'll cherish!

After swimming with the whale sharks, we'll offer you sandwiches and drinks on the boat to recharge before heading to a beautiful coral reef where you'll have another opportunity to snorkel. Following the snorkeling adventure, we’ll head towards Playa Norte, regarded as the best beach in this Caribbean paradise, where you can enjoy the crystal-clear water and fine white sand.

At the beach, you'll indulge in a delicious local lunch, with a vegetarian menu available upon prior request. After lunch, we'll return to your hotel in Riviera Maya.
