Make your way to Restaurante Mandarina Seaside in the morning for a safety briefing while enjoying a light breakfast, and get set up with the provided snorkeling equipment. Afterwards, walk two blocks to the dock to board the boat. During the 1- to 2-hour boat journey, keep your eyes out for marine animals, including manta rays—if their behavior permits, you will be allowed to swim with them as well. At the designated location, groups will enter the water in pairs, along with a guide experienced in whale shark behavior, to swim alongside whale sharks, assuming they are present. Once everyone in the small group has had their turn, the boat will head to Cabo Catoche for a snorkeling stop. The final stop will be Santa Paula, where you can enjoy a swim and savor freshly caught and prepared ceviche. Afterwards, relax on the 45-minute boat ride back to Isla Holbox.
