5.00Amazing experience! There were 30ish Whale Sharks in the area and they were feeding at the surface, so we got to swim right beside these majestic animals. Naara, and the crew were amazing! I had previously swam with Whale Sharks in the Maldives and this was an even better experience. Highly recommend this tour and tour operator!
Beautiful experience!! ...

5.00Incredible experience. Our tour guide Naara picked us up on time from our hotel. Really nice air conditioned ride to the bay. Thier was coffee and toast when we arrived and the option to rent wet suits. For first time divers I would say it’s not needed as having the life jacket on means you get to be more stress free, therefore more time to focus on the whale sharks. Then we got on the boat to sail past Isla mjures to the sharks. We got lucky that another boat had found the whale sharks before we arrived so no waiting around. Be prepared it is fast paced as they have to make sure there is time for all 10 people on the boat to jump in, 2 at a time. You can bring your own phone to film, additionally they have a diver that follows you with a go pro. The videos they got were great but we have waterproof cases and got great videos as well so decided not to buy the videos. We got lucky and got to jump in twice. The first time everything happens so fast so just focus on swimming as fast as you can as the whale shark will be faster than you. We got very lucky that it was feeding so it was quite slow but they can go off really fast. You are provided with flippers and a snorkel with goggles which really helps make everything easier. The second time jumping is so much better as you know your bearings and got a hang of the snorkel by then. Additionally my gf brought her goggles as she needs lenses in here so you can bring your own gear. We were lucky enough to see 2 other whale sharks while sailing back aswell. The feeling of swimming with the sharks is like nothing I’ve ever experienced, absolutely breathtaking. Then after the dive you head to a beach on Isla mjures. There you get to swim in the crystal clear waters on the beach while the crew prepare lunch. The lunch was delicious, it included fresh guacamole with ceviche and tortillas chips. They also provide plenty of water and soft drinks all ice cold. Then after that you head home. Overall the experience was 11/10. All went so smoothly and stress free. Our tour guide was brilliant and gave us plenty of time to prepare for the dive, give information on the sharks and overall be a great companion for the day. Tips for anyone going: • being spare clothes and a towel • a must is a waterproof phone case •maybe some snacks for the journey there as from the hotel to the sharks it’s 3 and a half hours total (varies on which hotel you stay at) •don’t bring suncream unless it’s eco friendly, however you can only use it on the beach, not with the whale sharks. • So bring a hat and sunglasses •practise your swimming
