2026 Holbox Whaleshark Tours Season ends in:

  Excellent experience - happy to recommend!  - We had a great time with our guide, Densis, and our captain, Ali. We lucked out with great weather, completely calm seas, and whale shark sightings. Densis did a great... read more job sheparding us in the water and Ali did a great job maneuvering the boat and telling us when to jump in. We had a *great* time. Lunch was *fantastic*. And we were pleasantly surprised by a dolphin pod sighting and a few other stops. Highly recommend!

  Swimming with whale sharks, Is definitely a bucket list activity.  - This was truly a bucket list, kind of activity. We had always dreamt of being able to see these beautiful creatures of close. Fortunately, we were able to swim with... read more two well sharks and had a once in a lifetime experience. Definitely would recommend this. I will not lie, we were somewhat nervous about jumping in the water with such a large animal, however, after we did our first jump, you see how peaceful they really are. Can’t tell you how much we enjoyed this experience. Highly recommendable.

  Amazing  - We are a French couple and we booked our whale shark tour on June 11th. Everything was absolutely amazing from start to finish!

Before coming, we saw some reviews... read more saying that too many people gather around the whale sharks — but that wasn’t our experience at all. The tour was extremely respectful of the animals and followed all the rules. Only two people are allowed in the water with the shark at a time, and everything was done calmly and safely.

At one point, I accidentally got too close to the whale shark without realizing, and our guide gently pulled me back to make sure we kept the right distance. It really showed how much they care about protecting the animals.

It was an unforgettable experience — peaceful, respectful, and so exciting to swim so close to such majestic creatures. Highly recommended!
