Overview

We will board a 36-foot boat in groups of 10 people per boat.
We will travel through the most beautiful waters of the Caribbean that will captivate you with their beautiful turquoise colors. We will arrive at a location between Isla Contoy and Isla Mujeres.

You must start warming up, because you are going to swim with the largest fish in the world. They can have a length of 14 to 20 meters (45 to 65 feet). The tail of these impressive species measures up to 2.5 meters (8 ft).

We will divide the group into pairs to swim, accompanied by a certified guide, who will explain the nature of these species and how to live with them.
In addition to these magnificent species, there are also occasions where you can find giant manta rays, dolphins, and turtles in their natural habitat.

After living with these magnificent species and catching our breath, we will sail to Isla Mujeres and visit one of its main landmarks.
