Whale shark swim experience

I had the most AMAZING time!! From the get go the whole experience was perfect and professional. Travel and booking was easy as well with the pick up and drop off being very smooth. The whole process was relaxing and very enjoyable. I especially loved our tour guide Vanessa who made our experience one of a kind. The amount of compassion and knowledge she has for the whale sharks and other sea life was enlightening and made the experience that much better that we knew we were following the correct rules and keeeping the sea life and ecosystems safe. The steps to get to the whale sharks and the schedule of the day was very well explained clearly and helped us to feel safe and got the most out of the trip. Vanessa was amazing in and out the water with us helping me to feel confident in the water and enjoy the experience so much more. Also her service was incredible making sure we felt comfortable with plenty of water, food and help protecting us from the sun. Her colleagues Dani, Gio and Esteban were also amazing and gave us incredible service. The drive to the pier was easy and stress free with snacks and water for the journey. The boat ride can be very bumpy and harsh if windy but our captain was very talented and steered the boat accordingly to the waves allowing our journey to be more comfortable! He also managed to give us a once in the lifetime opportunity by lining us up perfectly with the whale sharks without being too close and keeping everyone safe! The skipper was amazing in the water ensuring we found the whale sharks and kept the correct distance and kept alongside it. Lunch was delicious and fresh! We even managed to see mantarays and dolphins on the way back which was so special! Overall I would highly recommend this experience and booking with this tour group they are highly knowledgable about the environment and location which makes it even more special. Vanessa, Dani, Gio and Esteban were incredible and really made the trip for me so special!

Such a Perfect Day!

What an amazing day! Our Guide Vanessa and colleagues Dani, Gio & Esteban were brilliant in every way! Our family had amazing multiple swims with the Whale Sharks and we also saw Manta Rays and a pod of Dolphins on the return trip! The passion and enthusiasm from the Ocean Tour Team shone through the whole day! We had lovely sandwiches and then stopped off at a lovely island and swam in blue waters and saw a Turtle afterwards we had an amazing Ceviche Lunch! We also saw flying fish so we couldn’t have wished for a more perfect day! Thank you! 😊
