Swim with whale sharks

What to expect

As bucket list experiences go, this one's a big tick – swimming with whale sharks. Sail into the Sea of Cortez with a marine expert and you'll snorkel with one of the world's largest sea creatures. Then, there's a relaxing cruise back to shore and lunch in a local restaurant. Sure to be the highlight of your holiday.

After pick up from your hotel, you'll take a scenic drive from Los Cabos to La Paz. Board a traditional panga boat and enjoy a light breakfast as you leave the shore behind. The Sea of Cortez is home to hundreds of whale sharks and your knowledgeable skipper knows just where to head.

Enter the water with your expert marine guide and learn all about these gentle giants. Snorkel alongside and watch them go about their business as they twist, turn and hunt for fish just a few feet in front of you. Afterwards, there's time to reflect on your once-in-a-lifetime experience as you enjoy relaxing trip back to port and lunch in a local restaurant.
