Swim with the Whale Sharks in La Paz
Take a day trip to La Paz and Swim with the Whale Sharks.
Whale Sharks are one of the least understood and most beautiful fish in the ocean. These graceful giants are part of the Shark Family, however manage to gain their amazing size by feasting on Plancton (much like whales). Relatively little is known about this amazing species and studies have only recently been implemented, in the hopes to understand them much more. The opportunity to swim with the Whale Sharks is something not to be missed.
What we do know is that there are few locations around the world where you can go and see a congregation of these fish feasting. One of those limited locations is the La Paz Bay. This area sees dozens of Whale Sharks visit each year and stay for the season. A number of Whale sharks visit the area each year, including juveniles and mature animals.
Whale Sharks can grow up to 50ft or more, the size of a bus. Typically in La Paz, you will have the opportunity to swim with whale sharks ranging between 15ft and 30ft long.
Your Whale Shark tour to La Paz will take you from your Los Cabos Hotel, in Air Conditioned Comfort, to La Paz. Along the way, you will have the opportunity to learn more about these creatures, whilst taking in the sites. Once in La Paz, you will be given your snorkeling equipment and taken out by boat to spend some time snorkeling with these amazing creatures.
Your educated guide will be able to help you out with any questions along the way, ensuring you have the best experience possible. Lunch will be provided, before you start your return trip to Los Cabos.
Whale Shark Tours are seasonal and offered Monday through Saturday from October 1 – April 30 each year.
