From the small pirate island of Holbox we go swimming with the big shark.
Our boats are small and fast.
The number of passengers will be small.
We will go to the “Azul”; Whale Shark National Park. It is a rich on plancton area.
When we reach the waters of the great fish, we equip ourselves.
Each participant will be able to jump into the water 2 times in order to swim with the shark.
At the end of this wonderful adventure, we will visit the area of the caves in Cabo Catoche.
You will enjoy a fresh ceviche, rest and walk along the beach to the emblematic lighthouse.
Finally, we will sail along the Santa Paula River and observe the birds and mangroves.
The tour ends at the pier in the center of the island.

PRICE: 3500 MXN

RESERVE: 1000 MXN

INCLUDES:

equipment, vest, lunch, water, soft drinks, shark watching and/or snorkeling, boat, relaxation time at Cabo Catoche

APPROXIMATE HOURS: 7AM- 2/3PM

PLEASE NOTE!

The duration of the boat ride can be heavy for people not used to it, it can cause vomiting or dizziness (it is recommended to take pills for motion sickness, 1 hour before departure).

Attention to the elderly with difficulty of movement or with any health problem (such as back problems), they may suffer from discomfort, and we will be several hours from the coast.

Although Holbox is an authentic pirate island, it is not worth going to Holbox just for the whale shark, you can leave from Cancun or Playa if you have your hotel there.
Although we recommend you to visit it and ask us for other exciting activities.

 Verificada Altamente recomendable
Mi centro de buceo de referencia. Llevo años buceando con ellos. He hecho buceo con tiburón toro, cenotes, mar abierto, un magnífico viaje a Mar rojo en yate, siempre muy bien coordinado y en la mejor compañía. Técnicamente Ana es la mejor instructora, poniendo la seguridad por encima de todo . Gracias Travel and Dive por los momentos tan inolvidables

 Verificada Egyptian Fun Under the Sun! 🌞
This was quite an amazing experience! The boat safari experience was great, the chartered boat was in fantastic condition (Bella 2), and Ana did a great job overall with coordinating the people from different parts of the world (no easy task) in order for all to have a great experience. TIP: Bring a good reusable water bottle, because you will be drinking A LOT of water! :)

 Verificada Unforgettable live aboard diving trip! Absolutely amazing!
From the start to finish, Ana worked so hard on every single detail. Very professional. She made sure we had transportation options, she created a chat to meet each other, the crew on the boat was super professional, attentive and always focused on safety. The crew took us to fantastic locations and the food on the boat was amazing. I felt treated like a king and the synergy of the group was so good that everyone felt like long time friends. I’m looking forward for the next trip with AKM Dive!

 Verificada We hebben een waanzinnige week gehad op een liveaboard in Egypte (Sharm): goed georganiseerd, prachtige duiksteks (hamerhaaien, eagle rays, dolfijnen, fantastisch gezond koraal en heeeeel veel scholen vissen), heerlijk eten en veilig duiken. Ana heeft alles goed voor elkaar, het heeft ons aan niets ontbroken. Ik ga zeker nog eens met haar op reis, of met haar duiken in México!

 Verificada Best liveaboard experience ever!
This liveaboard was truly an amazing experience. I really enjoyed my time. The boat crew was very professional, the guests were amazing, the best liveaboard I have been on. The dive site selection covered the best dive sites around Sharm, yet it was flexible enough to accommodate our special requests within a rational framework. I hope to attend again. Thank you Ana for making it happen!

 Verificada Una gran experiencia
Una experiencia increíble de principio a fin. La organización fue impecable, se nota el amor y la pasión con la que se hace todo. Ana que lleva la agencia es súper profesional, atenta y transmite mucha buena vibra. Todo estuvo cuidado al detalle y el riverboard fue simplemente espectacular. ¡Repetiría sin pensarlo!

 Verificada An absolutely wonderful trip.
Let me start by saying Ana worked so hard to make this trip absolutely fantastic. Her timely communication with the group helped everyone feel at ease with the whole trip, from airport to tour in Cairo to dinner plans to transport to Sharm, and then boarding the boat. She created a group on WhatsApp early and this allowed us, the guests, to “meet each other”. That set the tone for a wonderful and memorable trip. I have done at least 30 liveaboards and this trip tops them all. Thank you Ana.
