Plunge into the open Caribbean alongside the world's largest fish on a private, licensed speedboat excursion to the legendary whale shark aggregation off Isla Mujeres — the bucket-list encounter of a lifetime.
What to expect
Speed out 25 miles offshore on a fast panga to where hundreds of whale sharks surface-feed on fish eggs. Two guests enter the water at a time with a licensed guide, hovering alongside 30-foot gentle giants. Snorkeling stops at a vibrant reef and the world's second-largest underwater sculpture park round out the day.
