  Amazing experience and amazing guide and captain. We got picked up at 645 and went out searching for whale sharks. It is about a two hour ride to the area, we found them around noon and were able to swim with huge manta rays and saw giant sea turtles while searching. If you get motion or car sickness I recommend taking dramamine or gravol around 630am. And either have breakfast before going or bring some snacks. Waterproof bag for belongings highly recommended. Super worth the trip. The whale sharks are amazing!!! We also stopped on an island for awesome guacamole and drinks you can buy at a palapa bar. Our captain was Odin and our guide was Chris. Very dedicated and knowledgeable people in ensuring we had the best experience. Chris takes awesome videos and him and Odin are both really fun! Thank you both for an unforgettable day!

  Trip was amazing and definitely worth doing. It was a little different then I imagined but still a great experience. The boat ride out is intense. It is 2-3 hours to get to the whale sharks at a fast pace and very bouncy on the boat! Not good if you have any back or neck issues. The smirking with sharks was awesome, but also intense as it is incredible to see, but you are swimming fast to keep up with it and the guide! The 2nd snorkeling stop was nice to get off boat longer and swim around, but nothing noteworthy to see. A few basic fish and a ray for us. Lunch was great and relaxing! Whole day ended up being about 8 hours. If you have the time and are up for the adventure, do it!

  Actually being in the water with these gentle giants. I would probably eliminate the stop on the island for crevice.

  The boat ride to the migration site was long (2+ hours) and at times bumpy but being able to swim eye to eye with a 20+ foot whale shark was phenomenal. I wish we could have been in the water longer but they limit the number of boats and the individual time swimming with the sharks. Two of eight passengers got a little sea sick so wear a patch if susceptible. The tour was run very efficiently and the guide and captain were friendly. The captain doubled as a DJ and played some lively Mexican pop music. The breakfast snack was unusual - ham and cheese sandwich, but the fresh ceviche prepared at the snorkeling stop was delicious and an island bar offered alcoholic drinks. The water that day was not clear enough for snorkeling but we were more interested in the drinks!

  Wish breakfast was included, other than that it was a fun day.
