Fantastic trip! We were lucky enough to swim twice with a magnificent whale shark; although we did jump in a third time, but I didn’t see the whale shark. :)
Amazing experience all around with wonderful tour guides and captain. After our swims we went to a beautiful reef to snorkel while the captain made us fresh ceviche and guacamole. I can’t say enough about this trip. Crossed off a bucket list item for my entire family!

A great adventure that you would not have imagined possible. The day started with our tour guide Marcella who was full of energy and tended to us for all our needs. Had a great tour chacing the whale shark a got real close. Bought the video service that will be mailed to us. Loved the fish and treats served. Overall a great experience to mark off my bucket list.

This was an awesome tour. Marcela is so great. I brought my own snorkle and panicked on the first jump because I could not get air. Was scared to do second jump but Marcela talked me into it and gave me one of their snorkels and went with me. I was able to swim with the whale sharks and it really is spectacular. I could not have done it without Marcela. Thank you so much. My husband and 16 year old son were pros and also had a blast. You must take this tour with Ecocolors.

Pilar was an amazing hostess. We saw a large number of whale sharks as well as manta rays. Highly recommend. Professional, friendly, knowledgeable. Everyone had the time of their lives.

Great experience! You could really get close to the whalesharks, and they were friendly and relaxed. Our guide, Marcela, was very helpfull with information and made sure that we enjoyed ourselves.

A helpfull advise is to take some pills for motionsickness beforehand. I got a bit seasick, but enjoyed it anyway.

What a fantastic day! I highly recommend the private tour, there were only 4 of us on the boat along with our guides Alex and Marcos, and our captain Jaime. I was surprised at the number of other boats that were at the site, but because our trip was private we arrived as many of the boats were leaving. Captain Jaime got us right next to them, and Marcos went in the water with us guiding us to swim within feet of these beautiful gentle giants. It was awe inspiring to swim with these majestic creatures.We were able to get magnificent underwater photos, and were allowed numerous dives with them. When we were done, the crew took us to Isla mujeres for some snorkeling and a fabulous lunch of freshly prepared ceviche and guacamole. I can't wait to do it again and bring the family!

Didn't feel so "Eco" when there are 30 other boats circling the few whale sharks.

Staff were friendly- Fernanda was really nice and working hard - but boat operators were only okay.

One boat staff was wearing a t-shirt with a big swear word on it. We had our 6 and 8 year old with us. Not so pro.

Bonus: stopping to watch dolphins on way back (random, but awesome.)

This tour was a major highlight of our recent trip to Mexico! We left from the Excellence Resort in Playa Mujeres and the shuttle picked us up right from the resort. Betty, Jairo and Captain Alberto were amazing! Betty was very knowledgeable. Her and the crew did a wonderful job of making us feel safe and confident during our swim with the whale sharks.
We saw and were able to swim with several whale sharks during our tour. It was an amazing experience swimming with these beautiful animals !

Our family loved the whale shark tour. We were very fortunate that the day we went, there were quite a few whale sharks in the area. We were able to do 2 dives and all were in very close proximity to these magnificent creatures. We highly recommend this tour. And Betsy our tour guide was fantastic.

Please note that if you are prone to sea sickness, this tour may not be for you. When you reach the whale sharks and "park the boat", you are pretty far out in the ocean and the water can be quite choppy.
