Hey Aaron!

When in the Philippines, were you planning on going to Donsol? What I didn’t like about my experience in Cancun was that the visibility was very bad. I’d make sure that when you go there is confirmed good visibility otherwise the experience is not half as exciting…thanks for dropping by!

So funny! I aimed to swim with Whale Sharks while in the Philippines, just to find out it was the wrong time of year as well! Guess I might have to try Mexico next time! Great guide Federico, thanks!

In reply to Megan. It is very cool indeed Megan! I do hope though that whenever you do it the water is much cleaner than when I did...it will be a much better experience! Thanks for dropping by :)

It has been years since I dove underwater with goggles in an ocean…snorkeling and such. This is definitely on my bucket list. I think it would be a blast to swim with them up close and simply hangout for an afternoon. Awesome. I have seen many people do this over in the Philippines, didn’t know you could do it in the Cancun area. Awesome!

In reply to Jhon Lingkon. Whale sharks are as tame as baby dogs...there's nothing to fear! :)

In reply to rublie. Still have to swim with white sharks! That's a cage swim though, completely different but probably more exciting!

Looks like a really cool activity, but tiresome swimming so much. Have you ever swum with white sharks, and if so, which experience did you prefer?

In reply to Arianwen. It is indeed, isn't it! Hopefully the water was cleaner when you went :)

I wrote about this recently too! I took one tour from Holbox and one from Isla Mujeres so I could compare the two. Either way, it’s an amazing experience! 🙂

This looks amazing. Did you hire a tour guide?

That looks like an awesome expedition. Have you ever thought about upping the ante and swimming with Great White sharks?

In reply to Jane Vacation Addict. It's difficult to beat this as a birthday gift!

Never done this myself, but sounds like a really cool birthday present for my best friend which loves swimming and I think knows more about whales and dolphins than National Geographic 🙂

In reply to Victor. In the Maldives!? Now that's a great place to do this! And your description is spot on too... lol

We swam with them on the Maldives. They are so cute and lazy.

In reply to Mindy & Ligeia. I heard that too when I was there even earlier. Moalboal wasn't any better, and though Cancun's season appears to be getting shorter there's still plenty of them ..fortunately!

We went to Donsol, Philippines about a year ago to try and snorkel with whale sharks there, but they weren’t around for some reason. Biologists were there, too, investigating why the sharks weren’t in the waters. Hope it’s not a trend that their numbers are dwindling!

In reply to Giselle and Cody. If coming for TBEX you could give it a shot as September is the end of the season...
