Itinerary

Each year, these majestic creatures visit the warm waters of La Paz for food, reminding us how important it is to protect your home and the balance of the ocean. In this experience you will not only experience the encounter with the largest fish in the world, but also learn about their behavior, their feeding and the actions that help their conservation. The tour lasts approximately 3 hours, during which we will sail in search of the largest fish in the world in La Paz Bay and, if nature permits, we will dive with snorkeling equipment to observe this amazing gentle giant closely. Keep in mind that the whale shark is in complete freedom; therefore, its sighting depends entirely on nature. No sightings are guaranteed. Join us to meet the whale shark from respect, admiration and learning.
