Snorkeling with the whale shark is a wonderful experience that we have very close to in the City of La Paz. Our boat is very comfortable and perfectly equipped for this activity.

The tour was great. We broke into 4 groups and each group got in the water 3 times. We got very close to two different sharks and they luckily were swimming slowly. Went out at about 10 and were back around 1:15

Communication on meet up location and time was perfect, we met at 9:30 am and left by 9:50am. There were 3 great crew members who made us feel comfortable and safe in and out of the water. We were all able to take 3 turns swimming beside a Whale Shark which was enough. Over all great experience! Thanks to David and crew!

Unless the whale sharks are feeding, it can be hard to keep up with them. Also, I am not the best with using a snorkle, so that hindered me a little

My wife, three daughters (20 somethings) and I did the whale shark swim with Alonso Tours. We had a fantastic experience! Highest recommendation! Our guide, boatman, and onshore booking and support were all flawless

Our guides were amazing! Gustavo, Angel and Raulio were all so courteous and informative. We got up close and personal with the whale sharks and were given about 3 opportunities to get in the water to swim with them. You feel super safe. The guides then gave some light snacks and drinks to keep us occupied on the boat ride back. 10/10 recommend

These guides were fantastic. David is a marine biologist who was very knowledgeable and respectful of the whalesharks. He was able to answer every question we had and more. Güero and Jenny also helped with anything we needed. We found one of the biggest whale sharks in the bay at the time and were able to swim with it throughout the afternoon. They made sure everyone got the same opportunities to swim and even helped with getting footage of the shark. Highly recommend this outfit.
