Our family group of 10 had a fantastic whale shark experience with Isla Sea Tours. Javier and Joseph were kind, knowledgeable and helpful. Javier gave clear instructions to help us experience the whale sharks safety and get the maximum benefit from our time in the water. This was a huge highlight of our Cancun trip. Thanks so much for all the hard work of the team to give us such an amazing family tour of a lifetime.
This experience was absolutely phenomenal! The pick up from our hotel was very convenient and helped us not stress about getting to the pier on time. O every single staff member we encountered was SO kind and considerate. The boat ride itself was so fun and my new husband (we did this as a honeymoon excursion) said “I’d pay the money just for this”. Carlos our in-water guide and Julian the driver were AMAZING! They were kind and taught us about the whale sharks on the way to the swimming area. We also saw dolphins, a huge manta ray, and a sea turtle. Carlos made sure we knew where exactly to look when we were in the water to get the best view and closest experience to the whale sharks. Then afterwards they made us fresh guacamole and ceviche which was DELICIOUS, and served what my husband called the best ham sandwiches he’s ever had! This was such an amazing experience and we would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone coming to Cancun/Playa Mujeres looking to go swim with whale sharks! It was also more affordable than any of the other tours we had been offered at the resort or elsewhere!
a unique and unparalleled experience in life!!! Swimming alongside whale sharks is something I will never forget
Phenomenal experience...Friendly, experienced team with well cared for equipment. Very safe operation and they are incredibly passionate about these beautiful whale sharks. We saw countless whale sharks, and Manata rays, and they provided exceptional recording of the encounters so we could focus on the experience at hand. And then the fresh ceviche and guacamole was to die for! Highly recommend this tour!!!!

Such an amazing experience with guides that make you feel like family. Nano and Bernie were fantastic at not only ensuring we got to see and swim with loads of whale sharks and rays, but also gave us a lot of history and insight and made sure everyone was safe and respectful of this incredible environment. Would 100% do this again and recommend to anyone who wants to experience this bucket list activity.

One of the most amazing ocean experiences I’ve ever had! Captain Juan and our guide were fantastic from start to finish. We were able to swim 3 times with these beautiful sharks. Always felt safe. Captain Juan did a superb job of finding us sharks to swim with and navigating the waters.
We are very happy you had a great experience! Thank you for coming with us! We hope to see you next time!
