Each summer, gentle whale sharks gather off the coast of the Yucatán to feed — and you can snorkel right beside these majestic, harmless giants in their natural habitat.

A marine guide leads small groups into the water in turns, with safety briefing, gear and licensed boats. After the swim, relax with fresh ceviche and a beach stop.
