Amazing once in a lifetime experience. Ricky and Leandro took great care of us and ensured we were able to get up close and personal with the whale sharks. I highly recommend these gentlemen to take you out!

A dream come true! Our guides Nano & Aurturo were fantastic. We were able to swim with the whale sharks, had a separate snorkeling spot that was full of fish, and a stop at Playa Norte with delicious fresh ceviche, guacamole, and Cerveza. We bought the video that the Guide made for 1000 pesos. The day was a huge success highly recommend.

My boyfriend and I did our tour with Bernie and Captain Juan this past week and had an incredible experience. The weather was great and we got two encounters with the whale sharks. They brought great energy to the tour and fully explained the experience and expectations beforehand. I appreciated the video footage of our encounter! I would love to go again with this company!

Bernie and Capt Juan on Nano Shark were amazing! I did the same tour last year with Isla Sea Tours and booked again because of the great experience last year. Capt Juan and Bernie were knowledgeable, made you feel safe in and out of the water and showed us a great time. The whale sharks were incredible to see!

LoLo and Felipe were amazing. Got us all situated, explained how everything would work and got us to a prime spot to go swimming with Whale Sharks all within a couple hours. They took us to Isla Mujeres to go snorkeling around the reef, then to Playa Norte to go hangout in the beautiful turquoise waters and sandbars/ beach. The day wouldn’t have been complete without a little freshly prepared ceviche and guacamole. These guys were great 10/10. If you’re looking for an experience you will never forget while in Mexico check these guys out.
