Swimming with Whale Sharks: A Giant of the Sea Encounter

For marine life enthusiasts, swimming with whale sharks is one of the most extraordinary experiences you can have in Los Cabos. Despite their enormous size, these giants of the sea are completely harmless, as they feed exclusively on plankton, allowing swimmers to safely get up close to them.

Whale shark watching season in Baja California Sur begins in October and extends through April when these majestic animals migrate to the warm waters of the region. Several tours will take you swimming with them, including experienced guides who provide all the necessary equipment and teach you about whale shark behavior.

Swimming alongside a whale shark is a completely surreal experience. Although their size can be intimidating (they can grow over 40 feet long), the calm way they move through the water generates a sense of wonder and peace. If you love the ocean and want to live a truly unique adventure, this activity is a must.
