Absolutely Magical
Hannah_O
, Apr 2022
This was an absolutely unforgettable experience! Our resident marine biologist Maritzia and captain Israel were the most phenomenal crew, giving us so much information on whale sharks and ensuring we were having a great time from start to finish. We had a small group (four of us) and were able to take multiple turns swimming with the whale shark we found (Pascual, I believe- all of them are named and recognizable by pattern!), which was exhilarating. Afterward, we happened upon a pod of false killer whales and were able to follow them around for true true experience of a LIFETIME. This was so laid back, so magical, and the highlight of my trip to La Paz. Could not recommend more highly!

A great experience and a great conservation-minded system.

Super friendly and knowledgeable guide and captain. The whole system for seeing the whale sharks is impressive. Each boat is given a scheduled time to move into a particular area of the whale shark zone. There is radio coordination with a whale shark traffic controller on shore who advises when boats are to enter and to leave. The captains are deferential to the sharks but do a really great job getting guests close enough for viewing and swimming alongside the whale sharks. The whale sharks, for their part, seem to not mind. I feel like this is one of the best, most conservation-minded, nature experiences that I have had.

Had a great trip with Mexplore. Very memorable day swimming with whale sharks. Liked that the guide and company send videos and photos of your trip. It seems they do care about the whale sharks and each boat finds its own whale shark. Recommended

Great whale shark adventure!

We had a wonderful guide who helped with everything from the gear to getting so close to the whale sharks. They would find a whale shark and the help you swim right next to them. We saw several within a short period of time. The guide also helped my children so that they could be right next to the sharks for a long time. It was amazing!
