📌 Important rules for swimming with the whale shark

  • 🦺  The use of a life jacket or wetsuit is mandatory throughout the experience.

  • 🚫  It is strictly forbidden to dive, touch, or chase the whale shark.

  • ⏳  Access to the sighting area is controlled by environmental authorities (CONANP and SEMARNAT).
    They assign entry shifts. Please be patient if there are waiting times.

  • 🚤  The number of boats inside the area is limited. Only boats with permits and certified guides are allowed.

  • 🕐  The maximum time inside the refuge area is 2 hours, for searching and swimming with the whale shark.

  • 🌀  Because they are wild animals, the presence of the whale shark is not guaranteed on every trip, although our team does everything possible to find it.

  • 📅  The tour may extend depending on the schedule assigned by the authorities.
    We do not recommend scheduling other activities for the same day.

  • 🏊‍♂️  Swimming is done in small groups: maximum 5 people plus one guide per shift. Not all passengers enter the water at the same time.

  • ⚠️  Not following the guide's instructions may result in activity suspension or sanctions by the authorities.

  • 💙  Thank you for your understanding. Protecting the whale shark is everyone's responsibility.
