Swimming with a whale shark in Los Cabos

Whale Shark Diving

Cabo to La Paz · A full-day expedition

Our Cabo whale shark diving excursion is one of the highlights of a trip here. Swim alongside these animals with the help of our professional bilingual guides.

There are few experiences in the world that match swimming alongside the largest fish in the ocean, especially when that fish is a shark! But don't worry, the whale sharks in Mexico are known as the "gentle giants of the sea!" If swimming with whale sharks is what you're after, there simply is no better tour in Cabo San Lucas.

Whale shark snorkeling may be the focal point of this incredible tour, but it's far from the only exciting activity you'll get to take part in. Our tour stretches from Cabo to La Paz and starts on land, where you'll get an intimate introduction to the Baja landscape on your way to the water.

Once we've arrived at the water, our tour guides will brief you on everything you need to know about sharks in La Paz. After that, we'll take a short boat ride to the areas where these animals are found, and you'll get a chance to snorkel with whale sharks and other marine life.

Jump in and snorkel beside these massive but peaceful fish, and see their size up close. Keep an eye out for dolphins, rays, whales, and other sea life too.
