Sharks? Sharks!
The sharks were huge and I was so surprised that I was able to be so close to one without there meningitis any real danger to my well being. I’m so so happy I’ve been able to enjoy this experience.

Awesome experience (bucket list)
Best experience! We had a great time to include several swims with whale sharks, followed by ceviche and drinks at Isla Mujeres. They then had a quick snorkel trip before heading back. The guide was very helpful especially with kids. The boat wasn’t the nicest but the overall experience was great.

Amazing Tour with the best tour guide
Miguel our tour guide is the best tour guide I ever met. His excellent!! His very careful for our safety in the boat and throughout the swim with the whale shark. His able to get my 6 years old daughter swimming with the shark. I’ve swim with 2 sharks at the same time. It was a magical experience. For the price that we pay…. It was very CHEAP!! Once a life time experience. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the way. Highly recommended

Great experience!
Great day and amazing experience! The crew were great and we each had a couple of chances to swim with the whale sharks. One even went right under our boat! The lunch was fresh and delicious. A tremendous experience that we highly recommend!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tulum.
How much does Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tulum usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tulum is not rushed.
Is Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tulum, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tulum can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tulum and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Whale Shark from Cancun, Riviera Maya and Tulum All Inclusive start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tulum within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tulum?
+
On Outty we rank every Tulum experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tulum Ruins, Turtles in Akumal and Cenote tour, Tulum Guided Tour, Magical Cenote, Lagoon Snorkeling and Beachside Lunch, Chichén Itzá, Cenote and Valladolid with Lunch and transportation. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tulum?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tulum?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
