- Topete 125 - We will meet at “Marina de La Paz” located at the intersection of “Topete and Miguel de Legaspy” streets. It is VERY important to arrive on time.
Then we will provide you with all the necessary gear: mask, snorkel, fins, and wetsuit (shortie). After that, we will head to the whale shark area and request a spot at the control stand for the Whale Shark area.
Once we find one or more whale sharks, we will begin the watching and snorkeling activity. Our groups are limited to a maximum of 9 people per boat, ensuring uncrowded boats and a more professional and personalized service. We will conduct the snorkeling activity in groups of 2 to 4 people at a time in the water, ensuring a comfortable experience. The guide will take turns with each group, allowing you to swim multiple times, likely with more than one whale shark. The number of times you snorkel is up to you; we won’t restrict you to just 1 or 2 times as is common with other tours.

Live a truly experience of a lifetime on small groups of 9 people maximum (regular tours take around 15-25 people per boat), avoiding big crowds and long waiting prior to swim with whale sharks.
Just a few minutes away from the city of La Paz, you will search, see and swim with one or various whale sharks, guided by a local marine biologist which will introduce you to the specifics of the species and also record with a go pro pictures and videos of the tour, which we will send to you digitally after the tour day.
After, we will take you for a 2nd snorkeling spot at San Rafaelito, a little rock formation with a sea lions colony, coral reef and many fish to see around.
And at the end, considered Mexico’s most beautiful beach, we will go to Balandra beach for some relax time and complete lunch (fish ceviche, burritos, fruit and drinks). You can eat there, get in the water or just take a nap after all the snorkeling you did.
