OMG amazing experience. Tour guide and boat captain were the best.
Wish I brought a water camera so I could of taken photos. Cellphone only takes video underwater.
Transportation was a little late for the morning pick up. But he was cool and got us to the marina and back safe.
Life changing experience.

Great experience! Pick up/Drop off was prompt. The guides were professional and accommodating. Overall had a fun time. Would recommend to others and children over 5 that are strong swimmers.

Fantastic experience. These whale sharks are huge and you get to swim really close to them. In case there is no pick up from your hotel, you can take a taxi from Downtown Cancun to Punta Sam for 100 Pesos.
For Isla Mujeres: you don't get on the actual island, you'll be able to swim around the boat that anchors on a beach and you'll have your lunch on the boat.
Overall fantastic experience.

An amazing experience. It fully met our expectations and we had a lovely day out. It was also very nice to find that it was a simple straightforward trip with no up-selling. Be prepared for a rough ride though and definitely consider sea sick tablets in advance if you think you might need them.
