    3 hours

    Experience Whale Sharks in the WILD! The Hook complies with the Mexican Whale Shark Authority in every tour we provide ensuring the safety of or clients and the animals we get to enjoy. La Paz has become in the last 15 years a premiere destination for naturalists, biologists and ocean lovers that want a truly close encounter with the gentle giant of the seas. The nutrient rich waters of La Paz secure a high density of food, allowing the whale shark to eat plankton and other tiny lifeforms in huge quantities which explains its behavior, It swims in circles at slow speed and maintaining a vertical static position at times, while filtering the waters, this behavior is perfect for observation. ​ Swim with the largest fish in the sea as they feed on plankton in the safety of The Bay of La Paz. Spending time with these gentle giants is truly a life time experience. ​​​
