What to do
Experience a unique adventure near Isla Contoy! In this activity, you'll have the opportunity to swim with the world's largest fish, the whale shark! Learn about this magnificent animal from your guide and swim alongside a specimen in its natural habitat.
Before starting, you will listen to a talk about the practices that must be carried out to ensure the conservation and protection of this species, as well as to enjoy a safe experience for you.
Isla Contoy is the largest congregation site for this mammal, and you'll head to this area with your captain and guide who will begin the search. When they're found, it's time to swim with them! Enter the water in pairs accompanied by your guide and feel safe at all times.
And the adventure continues! You'll make a stop at Playa Norte, one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean and the best in Isla Mujeres.
