I have taken many tours and this one didn’t feel like only business , they make sure we were all happy, Cesar our guide was so nice ,helpful and extremely funny as well as the captain!
You need to be prepared for a long day but when you swim with the whale sharks it’s all with it!!
We didn’t feel rushed,everyone got 2 jumps, and a great view of the whales! Cesar is taking amazing videos of you as he free dives!
In our way back we saw dolphins and the captain let us jump in and swim with them ! Then I knew is not just business and they tried and succeeded to make us happy !
Never written a review before , felt like this is much needed !

The people on our boat (Pablo & Lester) were wonderful but having a bus to pick up all the passengers extended the tour time by many, MANY hours unnecessarily which made the experience really bad. Also the swells on the ocean were so high- everyone was sea sick! Maybe make a rule that if the swells are going to be over 5 feet, postpone?

This tour is slightly misleading especially if you are staying in tulum.....they say they will pick you up and take you to the boat which they did but what actually happened was it was a three and a half hour bus ride where we picked up 45 other guests along the way. The man on the bus seemed very confused about the facts, information about the tour, the distance and the time frames. It ended up being a 16 hour day trip. Swimming with the whale sharks was great but basically they would spot the whale shark then let two people get in and swim around for a little and then get out. It would have been much better if we could have just gotten off the boat and snorkeled around for a few hours instead of the 10 minutes we were actually in the water. The boat ride itself was about 3 hours and we were in the water for maybe 30 minutes total. The boat was small and during the 16 hours we were offered civeche and a sandwich. Everyone was STARVING by the end of the day. Also no bathrooms or towels on the boats. Overall not worth the price one bit.
