Your adventure begins at Marina Punta Sam, where guests are welcomed on board and provided with a box lunch before departure. Please arrive by 7:15 AM for check-in, as the boat departs promptly at 7:50 AM.
From there, you'll head into the Caribbean Sea in search of whale sharks in their natural habitat. As these are wild animals, sightings cannot be guaranteed and depend entirely on natural conditions. The experience is conducted in accordance with strict environmental regulations to ensure the protection of this species.
If fewer than 5 whale sharks are present in the area, guests will enjoy whale shark sightseeing from the boat.
When 5 or more whale sharks are present and sea conditions permit, participants will have the opportunity to enter the water in pairs, always accompanied by a certified guide. Each pair takes turns entering the water before returning to the boat, giving every participant the chance to swim. Depending on sea conditions, guests may enter the water up to three times.
Please note that whale sharks swim at approximately 5 km/h (3 mph). For this reason, participants must be confident swimmers and comfortable in open-water conditions.
