Description:

Despite being the largest fish in the world, the whale shark is very friendly and peaceful. They can be up to 41 feet and weigh about 47,000 pounds. Their skin is very thick and due to its many birthmarks is beautiful. The whale shark is found in open waters of the tropical oceans. They feed almost exclusively on plankton and therefore, are completely harmless to humans. ​​Come and enjoy the adventures of swimming with the biggest fish in the world, a gentle ocean’s giant.

The tour will last for approximately 3 hours, depending on how long it takes to locate the whale sharks. Sometimes the tour may take longer depending on the location of the whale sharks & the amount of boats in the water. The tour is located at the elite Cortez Club in La Paz. Here you will find the only PADI 5 star dive resort in La Paz for over 25 years now and the only operator in Baja proud of the Highest level in Ecotourism with the NOM133 Certification. This guarantees that all standards and procedures are of the highest level with trained captains, guides and dive masters recognized worldwide. If you’re going to do this once, make sure you do it right. Optional Round Trip Transportation from Cabo San Lucas/San Jose is also available.

Choose between three Whale Shark Swimming options for your comfort level. Our Premium tour is below.
