Omar was a great tour guide! Picked up in the morning in a very comfortable van, had breakfast/coffee. Boat is great, didn't take long before we found a large group of wale sharks! Omar filmed it all for us and the video is brilliant would highly recommend purchasing! After swimming with the wale sharks we had lunch at Isla mujires and had time to swim in the clear waters. Was a 10/10 experience! 100% recommend. Thank you Omar!
A truly unforgettable experience – beyond all expectations! Swimming with whale sharks has been at the top of my bucket list for years, and thanks to this incredible team, I finally got to cross it off in the most magical way. From the moment we were picked up, everything was seamless. The service was outstanding, and our guide was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate, which made the whole experience even more special. We were lucky enough to see so many whale sharks and there were very few other boats in the area – it felt like we had the ocean to ourselves. I even got to swim with the sharks four times, which I know is quite rare, and I feel so incredibly grateful for that. Thank you for making this dream a reality. Your professionalism, kindness, and care made all the difference. I can’t recommend this experience enough!
