Intimate Eco-Friendly Whale Shark Encounter - Premium Service

5.0(422)3 hBy La Paz Whale Sharks VIP Tours

About this activity

What makes us different from other operators? They put 10 to 15 guests for boat.

We prefer maximum 6 guests for boat. Since all operators are allowed maximum 2 hours in the whale shark area this policy allows you maximum time in the water, better ratio guide / guests and a more personal experience. (note: exceptionally can be 7 guests on boat when one party has odd numbers)

According to regulation other operators allow 5 swimmers and the guide at the same time in the water. If you have come with your partner we prefer you two swim alone with the whale shark, without sharing your first whale shark encounter with strangers.

If you come with children or many members of your family you and your guide will decide the best way for you to enjoy, maybe small groups as starter and a final jump with all together.

If you are elderly or poor swimmer, or just a bit shy the guide may jump with you alone to make sure you have the best experience possible.

Espiritu Santo Island is an incredible paradise that you will never forget! The experience of swimming with sea lions is very nice, they are playful and they usually come close to interact with the swimmers. (During the months of June, July, and August, swimming with sea lions in their rookery is not allowed, so we just see them from the boat and snorkel and/or hike at another site of the island)…
