It's cool. You have to swim fast because it's a huge animal and much faster than human. But it was super close and there was good visibility.
Great experience and price.

A great experience, all well explained and well organized for all of us to spend in a group. The very attentive guide and above all I loved that he is a marine biologist, that gives me confidence to be on an informed and respectful tour with the marine environment. The price seemed fair and not inflated as elsewhere. I am certainly satisfied with the experience.
An experience that you should not miss.

If you are looking for the experience of a life time in La Paz go out with Paul Preciado at Intrepid Trips. Paul’s knowledge and No Bad Days, Baja attitude made everyone feel at easy and provides such memorable experience swimming with the whale sharks. Yes Sharks…. Lots of them. Paul and Captain Jesus will see you next year. - 2/20/2026. R. Hall
