Overview

Swimming with the majestic whale sharks in La Paz is an experience like no other. We have passionate, experienced guides who can ensure all safety protocols and regulations are followed, creating an ideal day. Our captains know the area well and can easily find the perfect spot to swim with the whale sharks.

On this journey, you'll find yourself transported to a world full of serenity, free from everyday stress and worries, as you soak up the sun and take in the fresh sea air. Getting the chance to see a whale shark is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many.

These gentle giants migrate to the Bahia de La Paz to feed in the plankton-rich waters and the season is from mid-November to mid-April

Malecon

Arriving at the cosmopolitan boardwalk of La Paz, meet your expert guide and local boat captains, and get kitted out with your snorkel gear. Board the local style "panga" boat and cruise into the main bay. Home to whale sharks every winter, this is their feeding ground, and the conditions provide plenty of krill for them to feed on. Once alongside the whale sharks, slip into the Ocean and swim with them in their natural habitat. Your marine mammal guide will always be with you, giving the best recommendations on making the experience unforgettable. After your once-in-a-lifetime swim, head back to the boardwalk and stroll to the local seafood restaurant. Regional dishes are included as well as soft drinks and water. Enjoy your well-deserved meal before boarding the air-conditioned vehicle.
