Overview

Swim alongside the majestic whale shark, the world’s largest and gentlest fish, in the stunning waters of La Paz.

Equipped with snorkeling gear, you’ll glide through calm, shallow waters, ideal for observing these gentle giants as they move peacefully through the ocean. Perfect for both experienced snorkelers and first-timers, this adventure is accessible and unforgettable.

Third and fourth time slots are assigned the same day of the trip at 7 am. Not every boat gets a time slot every day, so try to have flexibility on your trip for this activity.
