We recently went on this tour and it was amazing! It was about an hour boat ride then we was met with around 10 sharks! Swimming with them was defiantly a bucket list item complete, all in all an amazing experience !

We’ve had a few excursions on our holiday but the whale shark has to be the tops. We left on time in the morning. I’m about with 10 on board and I didn’t feel crowded. The guides and skipper were superb, very friendly and engaging. It took us about an hour boat trip to find them, they are wild animals and don’t hang around for tourists. When we did, we had two dives each and swim less than a meter away from these beautiful, gentle creatures. Oh, our return we anchored off our islands for drinks and lunch, which I didn’t expect. It gave us a good chance to have a swim and talk with the other guests. Loved it, go!!!

Amazing trip. I forget the names of the guides with , I think Nestor, Adolpho, and someone else. They were excellent. The only negative was there seemed to be some confusion with the transportation to and from our hotel. In the morning our pickup was late and when we got to the dock it seemed like everyone else was there waiting for us. Afterwords, the new driver to take us back had the wrong hotel information. I think the transport from and to the hotel is contracted out a d I am not sure how that works. The whale shark boat tour though was absolutely fantastic. The guides were super friendly and professional. They were obviously very skilled. We found the whale sharks without problem and each pair of guests got their two turns in the water with them. What an unreal and amazing experience to be so close to these giant majestic animals. I was a little apprehensive about the whole notion of animal tourism and bothering these animals, but I think those worries were unfounded. The whale shark behavior did t really seem to change whether we were around or not. They just kept on feeding. The rules to limit the time people are in the water with them I am sure are for the better. One of the guides got great GoPro footage of us in the water with the whale shark which we could pay extra for. This was a super easy process and I had his video/photo files on my phone before we got back to the dock. The stop after the whale sharks at the reef was great snorkeling with many varied fish. They prepared some ceviche at this time which was delicious. Overall excellent experience. I am extremely happy with Isla Fun tours and would highly recommend them.

Lolo and Felipe were our guides. They were very friendly and helpful. Communication through Viator with the excursion company chat option was never answered. When we arrived in Mexico, our hotel let us know that the harbor had been closed all day for tours so we should call and confirm our tour. They were very responsive through phone call. They should have given us the dock number on Viator for where we were meeting. Our taxi driver didn’t understand the address so I had to call again and have him talk to the company. And then there was no clear direction when we arrived by the beach where to go. They were late to pick us so I called again to ask which dock. Once they picked us up, it was an amazing experience!

My husband and I took the whale shark tour off Isla Mujeres this week. We were afraid we may miss out as the season end is approaching but we enjoyed swimming with a handful of sharks! One was particularly friendly and just hung out on the surface with the swimmers! It was a humbling experience that I highly recommend to adults and children. On the way back we made a stop to snorkel on the reef and enjoyed beautiful colorful fishes and coral while the crew prepared us conch ceviche! Once back on the ship we enjoyed our fresh fish lunch - delicious! The excursion was well worth the money and it is one that I hope to repeat when I return to Isla in the future.
