What people are saying about Riviera Maya
Wow. What an experience. Truly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. Our guide was informative, fun and really friendly. We found the sharks (between 3-5) so quickly when we arrived in the area different ones. When we first arrived there were around 20 boats but within 5 minutes they’ve all disappeared and we were the only boat - we had the sharks to ourselves! I would recommend requesting a late morning trip to avoid all the other boats! The food was great and the crew were all helpful. HIGHLY recommend taking travel sickness medicine beforehand as the sea is really rocky even on a clear day! They also provide this on the tour. The sharks were MUCH faster than expected and you really need to swim FAST to even try to keep up with them. What an amazing experience.
Having Collin as a guide was already the first main prize that day. The guy does his job more than great, always trying and helpful. This experience to snorkel with the whale shark is a great feeling and luckily nobody can ever take it away from me. I am happy to have seen it !!!
This trip was absolutely fabulous made all the better by our guide (Toro) and our brilliant captain (Lobo). Many thanks for helping us achieve a lifelong ambition.
A once in a lifetime experience! I can only recommend it 100%! Also no "souvenir tour" etc. but go straight there and marvel at the whale sharks.
Very good from the timely pick up in front of your hotel, the kind and helpful guide, swimming with whale sharks is magical.
