Swim with whale sharks in La Paz alongside a certified local guide, authorized in the protected area, who’ll reveal amazing facts about these gentle giants in their natural habitat.

PRICE:

 

Swim alongside the majestic whale shark, the world’s largest and gentlest fish, in the stunning waters of La Paz. From November to April, these ocean giants gather near El Mogote, a sandbar rich in plankton that creates the perfect feeding ground. This natural phenomenon offers a rare opportunity to see these graceful creatures up close in their habitat.

Equipped with snorkeling gear, 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.

Starting from the Fiscal Dock in La Paz, search for the whale sharks upon arrival in the designated area. The experience lasts about 3 hours, giving you plenty of time to swim alongside these magnificent creatures and make lifelong memories.

Typically, start the day at 8 AM, but this can vary depending on the shift assigned, which is randomly selected on the same day. Depart from the Fiscal Dock on the Waterfront in La Paz, and once you enter the whale shark area, search for it until you find it. Usually, locate the whale shark fairly quickly, but sometimes it can take up to an hour. Swim with the whale shark several times, ensuring all visitors fully enjoy the experience.
