What a day this was! Lately, we've been wanting to do more tours in the Cancun area, so we got together with My Trish Advisor to set up a bucket list tour - Swimming with Whale Sharks!! To book your tour with Trish, head on over to
The tour starts in Cancun where you board a boat that takes you for a short boat ride over to Isla Mujeres. The relatively-calm ride is breathtaking with water consisting of shades of blue, green, and turquoise. AMAZING!!
If you're wondering what to do in Cancun, Mexico, this is definitely a tour that's worth considering. But before you book it, you should be aware that it does come with some drawbacks... Depending on where they're feeding at the time, it can be a very long boat ride out to see the whale sharks. For us, it was an hour and 20 minutes each way. Additionally, don't expect to be the only boat out there - this is a very popular tour and many people are trying to have the same experience. Unfortunately, that also means that you won't have a lot of time to swim with the whale sharks since everybody has to take turns.
With that said and expectations tempered, this is one once-in-a-lifetime experience! Being in the water with the worlds biggest sharks is incredible!
If you're visiting Mexico, you also MUST check out the beautiful Isla Mujeres! It's crystal clear water and soft sand beaches (free of seaweed, I might add) are a dream! This tour killed two birds with one stone...and it almost killed Maddie too. Not actually, but she did get very seasick. A good reminder to take Dramamine!
After the whale shark experience, we stopped by Isla Mujeres for a little while - our first time at the beautiful island. Our guides whipped up some tasty ceviche and we enjoyed the motion-free water and soft sand - Maddie was especially relieved!
We're going to have to come back to Isla Mujeres very soon. Since it's so close to Cancun and our home in Puerto Morelos, it's a really easy day trip for us.

WHALE SHARKS Isla Mujeres [2019] What to expect on a whale shark tour
Do you want to swim with whale sharks Isla Mujeres? Are you wondering how the swim with whale shark tour works? How do we even find the whale sharks?
Many are uncertain and even afraid of the biggest fish in the world. Is the whale shark a shark or a whale? This video will give you a better understanding of how the whale shark tour from Playa del Carmen and Cancun is working.
We encourage you to become an ambassador of free-living animals.
It is a great opportunity to encounter and observe these gentle giants, learn more about them and spread the word about their vulnerability. Let us explain you everything we know about these beautiful animals and why we as the human race are the biggest threat to these and many other creatures.

Whale Shark Excursion - Isla Mujeres, Mexico - July 27, 2017 (UW-FILM)
On July 27, 2017, my fiancé and I were able to set out on this awesome whale shark excursion. We chartered our excursion with Dressel Divers Playa Del Carmen, and headed out for about an hour or so before we spotted a large pod of whale sharks off the north east corner of Isla Mujeres. On this particular day there were over 150+ whale sharks that were visible at the surface.
Once we arrived, there were swarms of boats hovering around, and each boat could have 2 divers accompanied by one 1 guide in the water for 2-3 minutes for a personal session with 1 or more whale sharks. We both got to experience 3 to 4 snorkel sessions with the largest fish in the sea.
After the whale shark portion of the excursion, we headed back to the crystal clear waters of Isla Mujeres for the customary fresh ceviche served while relaxing in the water.
A special shout out goes to Under Water Film (UW-Film) for this video production and the crew for being excellent guides during our experience. Enjoy!
