Overview

Snorkel alongside docile whale sharks during this eco-adventure on Isla Holbox. With your local guides, board a boat and set off in search of these gentle giants, keeping a lookout for other species like giant manta rays and sea turtles as you cruise.

On the way back to shore, stop near Cabo Catoche to snorkel the 'cuevones' reef. Continue to Santa Paula to go swimming and enjoy freshly caught ceviche before returning to Holbox. Use of all equipment, breakfast and snacks are included.

Excellent day....

Overall this was an A experience. The only suggestion is that they cut out the ‘lagoon’ break at the end of the trip and add a 3rd encounter with the whale sharks or just get back to the dock earlier. Excellent staff, boats are as comfortable as a small boat can be. Food is adequate. Note- ticket says meet them at 630..... it’s actually 7am so don’t rush to get there earlier.
