2026 Holbox Whaleshark Tours Season ends in:

  The Best Ever: Willy’s Whale Shark Tour with Captain Carlos and guide Densis.  - Went on an amazing whale shark tour with Captain Carlos and Guide Densis. As a former professional guide, captain, dive instructor, and environmental educator, I have a good background to... read more judge the experience. The trip was fun, very safe, relaxed, and incredibly enjoyable. The vessel was clean, dry, and a joy to ride in. We saw dolphin pods, manta rays, Fl, aiming, and of course whale sharks. They served us a variety of drinks, sandwiches, the best ceviche and guacamole ever, prepared in front of us. We had a day we will never forget, especially after planning this trip for two years. It couldn’t have been better. I’m sorry I don’t take pictures cause I’m too in the moment enjoying whatever it was happening. But I’m sure everyone else around me was taking pictures.

  Great company for your Whaleshark trip! - Willys were a great choice for our Whaleshark trip. Very professional. We did 2 trips with them. The 3 island tour and the Whaleshark trip. Both were excellent but clearly... read more the whaleshark trip was an absolute highlight.
We had Captains Tomas and Nathaniel. They did everything they could to get us to see the Whalesharks and other sea life and bird life on the way.
You get two swims with the Whalesharks and only 2 people in at a time. Which made it feel special. Nathaniel also came in the water to guide you to the Whalesharks and he also pointed out a manta ray that I would’ve missed otherwise. Snorkels and flippers are provided, as was a sandwich, water , coke drink.
On the way back they took us to Cabo cartouche for a delicious ceviche. There is also a bar there that served chicken nuggets if you have a fussy eater!!

Great company. Would use again

  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!
